Anyone know if a 3GMac can handle Tiger/Leopard? Or if it's possible to upgrade the HDD. It currently has a 53.3Mb HDD lol...Plus where would ram be found? Any help would be great!
Got a tip for us?

Then it appears you've either been ripped off or someone partitioned the drive.
Open it up and see. There's a handle on the right-side panel. Pull that out, the entire side will swing down. The drive is on the inside rear of the case. See what's printed on it.

No way that box has a 53 MB HD. My first Quadra 605 had 256 MB. It must be a 60 GB Drive, right?
That machine also used PC100 RAM DIMMS. Good luck finding those. You can use PC133 in a pinch, but they'll both be pricey if bought new. You have four DIMM slots and can put 256 MB in each for a max of 1 GB RAM.
Also, if you upgrade the HD, don't buy larger than 128 GB.

OR if you have another Firewire & DVD-equipped mac and a FW cable, you could use Target disk mode to install Tiger. But you GOTTA have 1GB of ram if you really expect it to be usuable........
I opened the side of the mac today and tried to see what amount of space is on the HDD... but i can't figure out where it says it??
