And the Seagate ST1 series (like the one I just picked up) have 2MB of onboard cache RAM. They won't do much for your battery life though - a bit better than a 2.5" disk, but not …

I'm taking the plunge one step at a time -- Just bought a CF-IDE adapter, etc. and will see how that goes. Next step would be the battery re-cell, then the RAM. I'm not sure if I…

I wouldn't paint it unless it needs the paint, as that would basically kill it as a mint specimen. As for the CF card, a re-celled battery and more ram, it's a question of how dee…

Building up an obsolete machine is something you do for the love it rather than because you need a more powerful machine. As you stated, more powerful machines are cheaper than bui…

Hi, Ok, in a bit I'll open the iMac and see if there's a dead battery. (Even if it's fine, I'll probably replace it anyway.) Now, you mentioned resetting the PMU. Let me remind…
