I wouldn't change over an IDE Mac to SCSI. The drives are usually more expensive and in smaller capacities. To gain some speed but lose capacity for more money isn't a good trade off IMO.

Click to expand...

well he could plunk in a G4 cpu upgrade but that would be the same thing really

the best things he can do is max out the ram ( 1,5 gig ) or at least more ram

turn off dashboard and spotlight

get a better video card

and thats it

or take all that upgrade to a faster G4

think of what you will spend on all that and look in to a used G4 mini

unless off course he likes to have a blue yikes!

It's not really worth upgrading a B&W to modern standards at all if you want to take it that far. You can buy a newer Mac with higher specs and better expandability options for less money than you would spend on upgrades. A 1.6ghz G5 costs less than some G4 upgrades now.
