[QUOTE="lonerider, post: 245125, member: 9655"] Hiya pitbull, Here is a link to the specs on what looks like the Mac your are looking at : [url]http://lowendmac.com/ppc/gigag4.html[/url] The HDD you mentioned will almost certainly work, but has a limitation of max 128GB formatted capacity on quicksilvers prior to 2002. It sounds like you are looking at a 2002 quicksilver though. Worst case, you can use it but only 128GB of it. The memory is PC133 SDRAM (3.3V, unbuffered, 64-bit, 168-pin, 133 MHz) from the specs. If that describes your extra RAM, it will probably work. The DVD burner - most likely it will *not* be recognized out of the box except as a CD-ROM. There is a utility called 'patchburn' which will *probably* allow you to use your drive. More info here : [url]http://www.patchburn.de/[/url] As far as identifying it - well as far as I know the only quicksilver single processor 800Mhz model is the one in the lowendmac link above. If it is the dual 800Mhz model, it would be the 2001 version. There are pictures and specs at that link that should be helpful in identifying the exact model you are looking at. Have fun, Macs are truly great! -Lonerider [/QUOTE]
