Some updates to this machine, since I'm sure you were all waiting quite impatiently to hear about it! I mean, come on. It's been what, five months?
- Someone here was kind enough to sell me a 500 MHz G3 ZIF upgrade for cheap, so CPU speed is optimal!
- The RAM is now maxed. 1GB of PC133 low-density RAM clocking down to 100 MHz. Awesome!
- I think I've got a 40gb hard drive in it, but I'm also fairly certain I have a 60 and a 120 lying around that would go in here on the Rev. 2 IDE controller.
- One of the interceding G4s I bought had a PCI Radeon 7000 Mac Edition in it. How fortuitous! (It also had a 1 GHz OWC CPU upgrade, which was awesome, but I sold that machine since I already have a 1.25 GHz iMac G4 that is plenty desktop G4 for me, and looks better.)
- I threw a DVD burner in place of the stock CD-ROM drive. Huzzah!
Currently running 10.4 and 9.2 in a dual boot setup - it's nice to know that this thing will run anything from like, 8.1 all the way up to 10.4 quite comfortably, and has a little bit of graphics prowess to go with it.
