[QUOTE="trpnmonkey41, post: 244508, member: 279"] That is not a bad machine you have there. I still have a PowerBook G4 867mhz with 1gb ram that runs Tiger just as fast as it ran Jaguar when I got it. Wiping out the hard drive would definitely make sense to get rid of all of the junk that is causing problems for you. Apple's have no problem booting up from SATA (Thats what the iMac's, PowerMac's and MacPro's are) and the 3gbps speed you get from them should help with loading up images and storing them. You can run a SATA raid and set it up in Disk Utility. I am not sure how much performance you will see out of it since I haven't used a RAID setup yet but I would imagine it would be noticeable especially over a ATA drive that is probably only 5400 rpms [/QUOTE]
