well, i am happy to report (and unhappy about doing that) I have replaced the Combo drive with a straight DVD Drive. I got enough machines I can burn CDs with, and all I really need on this is the DVD-Rom on it (for movies)
I decided to revert back to 10.4 and 10.3 (dual-boot) because I want to run games under 10.3. 10.5 was too slow for me, so I decided to run the last "Latest and greatest" OS: "Tiger 10.4.10"
I only have 10.3 on it right now, am going to wait a few hours before putting tiger on it. 10.5 was "OK" but I DID notice a slow down. I guess upping the drive from 40GB to 80GB wasn't good enough for speed. Plus, the ages 66MB/s ATA bus was very slow. and I *thought* it had 64MB VRAM, well... it doesn't... It has 32, which makes it VERY slow.
