Hello all.
I have a g4 800 gigabit ethernet powerbook.
I've got a host of questions for you mac gurus...
My curerent machine has 512 mb of ram in two sticks... if I want to upgrade the ram, what's the upper limit for these machines and is there a specific memory type that will work/ works best? I'm thinking 2 512mb sticks. Anything to look out for when buying third party memory? Will twice the memory provide a significant difference in performance with 10.3.6?
Second, I am considering putting in a new harddrive... one for more space and two I'm wondering about the life expectancy on the existing drive. i don't want to lose data! How long do these harddrives usually last? What's the biggest drive I can install? Speed? What brands are reliable?
Also, I'm thinking of buying a new battery as the existing one is slowly losing its ability to keep a charge. Is there a specific battery type for this model? Where can I find it online?
Thanks for any help!
