[QUOTE="bryphotoguy, post: 545717, member: 26695"] How much are you getting the Dual 1GHz processors for? Go to [URL="http://macsales.com"]OWC[/URL] for 3rd party processors. I think a single 1.2GHz upgrade is under $200. I am not exactly sure what's compatible with your model but the site will tell you. I had a Dual 1GHz MDD and it wasn't all that fast when running Tiger IMO. I would upgrade to something faster if you can. A lot of people upgrade with the 3rd party processors. I would recommend a new set over used processors from a MDD. Get RAM and a HD from [URL="http://newegg.com"]Newegg[/URL] and you can pick up a 18x Superdrive from the OWC site for $40. That's the cheapest price I've seen for a SuperDrive, even for eBay standards. [/QUOTE]
