[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 904220, member: 42497"] As a suggestion do not bother spending money on a SATA controller card for the MDD. Set you back quite a bit as SATA will not work in a MDD without the PCI Controller Card. Then it is not that quicker as the machine is still bounded by the system bus speed. Better off IMHO putting 4 x 512MB Apple ram such as this in and then installing Leopard and updating to OS X.5.8:- [url=http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=171&type=Memory&TI=5546&shoupgrds=Show+Upgrades]Memory Upgrades for your Apple PowerMac G4 "Mirrored Drive Doors" 2x1.25GHz at OtherWorldComputing.com[/url] And don't buy memory from the Apple store. Look at OWC prices first an d see if you can match them. PC low density memory will not work in your MDD. [/QUOTE]
