[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 661614, member: 42497"] Now download a program called CHUD which will quieten down the fans in your G4. Depending on the model and OS either 3.7.9 or 4.4. The wrist strap style of electrostatic grounding are essential. I know, I know there will be posts saying just touch the metal on the rear of the machine. Walking about whilst doing upgrades/maintenance/repairs creates electrostatic charge which can zap the internals. Use a Proskit brand, purchased through eBay for a couple of buck with is cheap insurance and use the alligator clip to earth. Has a 10 foot lead which is ample if all your tools and bits and pieces are kept handy. [/QUOTE]
