Hey there... I'm looking to replace the 10GB hard drive in my PB Ti/400. I'm debating whether to get the IBM Travelstar 30GB (07N7354) or the Toshiba 40GB (MK4018GAP). Does anyone know if the Toshiba will work okay in the PB Ti/G4? Will OS 9.1 recognize it if I boot from CD and run Disk...

I have a Ti 400MHz, 10GB (original model). With the new models coming out with faster processor speeds and even a CDRW, will there be any upgrades for original Ti's? I'd love to have a CDRW inside my laptop instead of having to buy an external. The only thing I know you can do is a larger HD.

I'm currently using a G3/400 B&W. I'm considering a hardware upgrade. My question is: in OSX (with it's multithreaded capabilities) will you get better performance from a 733Mhz single G4, or a 533Mhz dual G4? There's a $1000 price difference... but if OSX takes full advantage of both...
