Your best bet is to get a 256 MB RAM module and replace the 128 MB RAM module
with it, or if you have four RAM slots, add another 128 MB RAM module. I just

Have you maxed out the RAM? Do you have a video card that has at least 128 MB
of RAM? They could help reduce the demand on the hard drive and thus cut down
on the hard drive noise.

I think the network speed is limited to the slower "b" standard even though

Any suggestions for a video card for a G4 Sawtooth? It has an AGP slot with an
ATI Rage (16 MB) in it. I know an ATI Rage 9200 will work in a PCI slot, but
I'd like to take advantage of my AGP slot.
Would there be any advantage to having the 9200 or another PCI video card in a

Maybe, but it doesn't have the sharp edges the aluminum unibody MacBook has,
and you could buy the low end stock model for $999 to accomplish what she wants
to do with it. I would probably have Apple put in the extra 2GB RAM, or do it
myself, and get a bigger hard drive than 120 GB.
