Ok so does anyone have any solid test to show if a drive is faster/slower external vs internal? Before I go buy a set up, I would like to know. I was first thinking of the 320g 7200 drive but space is a concern. I need to clone my drive from my G4 to the new drive so everything is nice and...

Thats good to know, save me from ripping apart the mini to upgrade the drive.

I have the 2007 intel mini and I am looking for hard drive options. Was thinking of installing a 320 gig 7200 drive in it but they are about the same price point as an external 1 TB 7200 3.5 drive. Is it possible to just run the mini off the external drive via firewire or USB2? Would that be...

I tried that before but was unable to tell the tower to select the mini as a boot device. It would freeze before it got to that point. Will try again when I get home. Will also start yanking the ram out stick by stick as well...see if that gets me anywhere..

Thanks for reading the post. I have a G4 Dual 867 MMD machine that has been flawless up til now. It is locking up on start up. I get the gray screen, apple icon and then the processing wheel spinning for about 2 minutes, then it just stops. Nothing has been installed that would cause this...

Whats the best way to delete the OS from a drive? I have 3 drives in my mac and I have Jaguar, Tiger and Leopard on the three. Everytime a new OS came out, I just bought a new drive and installed it on the new drive and transfered data over. Now, I want to get rid of Jaguar to free up a drive...

Well that was disappointing to say the least. IT was pretty obvious the 17" mbp would be updated. So other than that no hardware updates? Was hoping for a new mac mini but I guess that will be phased out now.

Thanks for the tips. Its not a cost thing, its a productivity thing. If by upgrading, it would be taxing my machine more than tiger currently is, then its not worth it. But if I get the results that andychrist did, it may just be worth it. I like to keep up with new features but not at the...

Currently running Dual 867 MDD G4 10.4.11. Should I update to leopard? I know I am behind the times but will my machine handle it? Would it be worth it or would it slow it down way too much? Thanks

http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/12/rumor-new-mac-m.html I have a question if there is truth to this rumor... Lets say this becomes reality...I would love one to replace my 867 Dual MDD G4. My question is.... My options are a used 2.0 dual G5 tower PPC, for about $600... or this new mac...

I have a 22inch and a 10 inch connected to my mac in extended format. Would I be able to use both of those with a MBP? I thought the macbook only have one out on the card? I am not including the laptop screen itself, cause it would be closed if working at my desk.

No firewire items...just usb... What I mean by mulitple monitors, is that I dont believe MBP support dual monitors, do they, or can they? What about comparing a MBP to the older G5 desktop I was thinking of getting? in terms of processing power and graphics card... also, looking at the...

For the record, Replaced the PRAM battery and all is good again...no more power issues....thanks for the tip!

My main apps are Adobe CS2 and CS3 suites, MS Office 08 and Lightroom 2.0, I believe those are all Intel ready apps, they are all working on my MDD good, just slow at time...No more classic environment for me :) Was thinking the G5 PPC because of price right now. Getting a low end book and a...
