[QUOTE="thanksarthur, post: 1020812, member: 147872"] Hello, I just recently acquired a QS 733 cheaply as a secondary machine. Before now, I haven't done much in the way of hardware upgrades other than RAM and HDDs but I would like to try it on this one so I can maybe use it for more than just MS Office/email. So, a few questions: 1. Low End Mac says the QS will recognize drives larger than 128GB, but MacTracker says it won't. Who is right? 2. Will a QS accept any G4 processor including dual configs? Does this require a new logic board? Will only certain speeds be compatible with the current logic board? 3. The video card currently is the stock GeForce 2 MX with 32MB of VRAM. I found a 64MB card from another QS but would like to know the highest end card that would work with this machine. Thank you for any help you can offer. [/QUOTE]
