Rev. D iMac with G4 and 30 GB HD — #5
Well, I haven't experienced the benefits of 7200RPM yet. I am perfectly happy with the performance of my 5400RPM 4GB HD, but the only thing that bugs me is that when it goes to sle…
Rev. D iMac with G4 and 30 GB HD — #6
Good points Godfather. I'm definitely going to invest in a 128 MB chip of RAM, boosting myself to 160 megs. As for the HD, I'll reconsider a 5400 rpm one since money is scarce. …

Video Card for PCI Powermac! — #6
