it already has 1gb RAM, and so putting a bigger HD in ill get little more? What kind of HD would i need for the g4 mac? I just want little more GHZ out of it, i need to find a way!!!!!!!1 THanks for the help!
yeah its a 1.25. Really? i would only like little more, i would even to try to upgrade the motherboard.
It may be possible to get an Intel logic board in there...but from my experience, an Intel mini logic board costs almost as much as a brand new Intel mini itself, so it's not really worth it.
But, even though I have a 1.83 Ghz Intel mini, my daily computing is done on my iBook G4 1.33 GHz, and it's definitely sufficient for basic needs.
Max out the RAM, get a faster hard drive, and your mini should be pretty speedy.

You can take it up to 1.42, max the memory and drop in a better hard drive. Thats about it. All you need to take it to 1.42 is a sharp razor blade.
I remember hearing that you could upgrade it to the 1.67 found in the Powerbooks at the time. Or is it a different chipset.You can take it up to 1.42, max the memory and drop in a better hard drive. Thats about it. All you need to take it to 1.42 is a sharp razor blade.
