The easiest, cheapest and safest things to do with your MDD: 1. Download and run Monolingual. You can trim more than 2 GB of unneccesary languages and architectures out your OS, it will run much better. It's free. 2. SCSI PCI cards and SCSI hard drives are cheap now that most people are using SATA or SSDs. A 15K SCSI drive with a 16 MB cache is an awesome upgrade, around $50.00 for used 73 GB drives. 3. If you add another hard drive (of any kind) and use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your original drive it will defrag everything in the process of cloning. Apple claims you don't need to defrag OS X but I always felt mine ran better after using TechTool Pro to defrag files. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
