please make suggestions. (Specs and plans are in signature. removing original 10 Gig drive to install larger drive. (Someone else is doing the work. )
In terms of size and price, I'm probably looking at 40-100 Gig - which means on-line, probably, as most stores have larger drives, more expensive. What brand drive to get? Most everything I find via deals anywhere seems to be wrong for Mac or too large in size for budget (or needs). Suggestions? Brand? Anything else to absolutely consider ? i.e., -- as this is likely the last time it will be cost-effective to open this computer. (We're doing it now because last time it was opened, they forget to install something I requested (replace dead PRAM battery). So, I am getting the work done without paying the bench- fee. So, might as well do everything that I'll ever do now. (Will install the 2nd memory chip later - already moved first one to the bottom, so that i could easily install the second one.) Quiet would be "nice" -- I am not working in a noisy environment, so will hear every "flutter" Thanks. J Winter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Power Book: That is the original Titanium (Jan 2001), code-name "Mercury" 400 MHz Power PC G 4, 640 MB SDRAM, OS X 10.4.11 Soon will increase to 1 GIG MEM and get larger hard drive. Open to ideas for best use(s) of PCMIA slot As per below, would LOVE to be able to use Mac-Speech on this book, but am cautious about going beyond 10.4.11. Plans: Anticipate arrival of some or all of a used Desktop with LCD, running Tiger AFAIK. (Uncertain if prior owner is retaining some parts, and if so, what.) I forget model, but it's the one with "soccer ball" under the screen: to hold all the "innards" etc. (i.e., everything but the keyboard and mouse). We wanted to connect it to the Ti. Plan is to wait till I see what arrives and then figure out what is needed to connect it. :-) Also, may want to network the two, especially if the desktop has greater capability/expandability regarding potential for Speech-Dictation Software (MacSpeech's iListen preferred, unless advised otherwise). Or, worse: If I have to connect Ti to something peecee for Speech-Dictation to my satisfaction. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
