Yippeeeeeekiyay.. :D Just got me spankin new MBP today!! Its been a really really long time coming.. i've been using an old G4 466 PowerMac for the past 5-6 years, so this is one hell of an upgrade!

I'm hoping someone here can offer a quick pointer:

I ordered a 2.0ghz, 2gb ram, 7200 rpm HD.

How do i check if they gave me the right HD? I've checked everywhere in System Profiler, but cant verify which HD i have..

Thanks muchly in advance!
 
Congrats on the new MBP ... been wanting one since they were announced :/
 
Cheers, you definitely wont regret it when you get one.

I have another question for you guys, it may be quite a stupid one.. but here goes..

Is it possible to connect my PowerMac G4 to my MBP through just a USB cable? I don't have a Firewire cable, so am wondering if it will work thru USB... :confused:

Thanks again
 
I don't think USB will work. The only methods that are supported AFAIK are Firewire and Ethernet (direct) or indirect through a Network wired or wireless.
