Where can I find info about the hack?I've searched already but didn't found it... I am trying to make this machine really "lowend" on money,because: 1)I'll only use it on weekends 2)I am student and don't have much money.
I already thought about sata pci cards,but the money that I have to pay for them are more than the g4 worth..about 45dollars I think...this adapter cost me 5 dollars or less lol. I never thought of fw enclosure,that would be a cool Idea,but I already bought this adapter,only if the hack doesn't work. About the processor upgrades,believe me I'd really like to have something like a dual in my g4,but simply is too much money for me,and for the use that it gets.. about radeon 7500 on the ibook vs the 16mb rage something that I have in the g4,the biggest difference I think is the support of quartz extreme..wich makes things a little "faster". Well Today I'll give feedback on the instalation of tiger on the 250gb 2.5 HDD.
