Thanks. I've been spending the last half hour googling "PCI controller, ATA card" and "ULTRA ATA" and it's maddening. So, to get faster, an ATA 133 would be the way to go? Speed would be nice. And it would be less than $100, no? The bus speed in my system profiler says 133. Am I there already...

This is from the site that Satcomer suggested I go to. So, do I need a new PCI controller or not? I hate throwing money away. I supposedly have a 133 bus with ATA protocol currently. What do I need to make sure I can format the 160 gig to 160? Exactly. So, I can shop! ;-) About "Big...

I was at a store today that specializes in MAC stuff (vs. the Apple store) and lo and behold I SAW MY FIRST mirrored door tower!!! And, so the mystery was finally solved. Mine is the quicksilver. So, I was told to get a PCI Controller , A-card? Huh? I was at COMPusa and looked at PCI controllers...

from System Profiler that might be relevant. Can you ascertain what this is?: Power Mac G4 CPU: PowerPC G4 (2.1) Number of CPUs: 1 L2 Cache: 256Kb L3 Cache: 2 MB Memory: 1.5GB Bus: 133 Mhz Boot ROM Version: 4.3.3f2 ATA ATA-4Bus ST380021A: Protocol: ATA Unit Number: 0 Socket Type...

I never have been able to figure out whether this is the "mirror door" model or not. They look like mirrored doors. The receipt calls it a POWER MAC G4 CTO (it is a tower) 933mhz. PCI support is none if that helps; I purchased in June 2002. WOW. Ancient.

Just picked up a brand new 160gig internal hard drive from Seagate for my G4. It's at best buy on sale for $50 with a $70 rebate. So, is this a good deal? I assume so. No software for installation, but with the Mac it's basically plug and play, right? My first hard drive install in my mac if you...

My G4 started to make more than the usual noise. I'm sure it is the fan, more on that in a minute. I took to the "Genius Bar" we ran tests all was fine - naturally - but now I have a dilemma. Though I have an open case number, my 3-year (yes, I've had the system for THREE YEARS!) Apple Support...
