[QUOTE="johnodd4, post: 1642939, member: 331386"] So let me explain honestly why. So i did a lot of research from several videos including this one: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0ha7-P-1YY[/url] The reason for watching this video was to choose the right ibook for this mod and this gentleman reported how to fix the issues with the 1.4 Ghz model especially the crashing issue. Awesome so i choose the cheapest in my purchase. I purchased a G4 Ibook. System specs: G4 ibook 1.33 Ghz 512 megs of ram 40 gig hard drive with 10.4.11 Cool for my project needs this is going to work perfectly. My project: I want to turn this machine into a Mini Studio for photography use. What have a purchased. 1. A Legal copy of Adobe Photoshop CS2 Creative Suite for mac. 2. A copy of Mac os x Tiger restore disk's for the ibook g4 matching for this model. 3. A copy of mac os x leopard Retail disk. 4. A 64 GiG SSD PETA No adapter Required. Don't Need a lot of space have a compatible external hard drive as well. Basically i enjoyed using CS And CS2 for my photography and was trained on those programs so i decided i wanted that back to do some old school photos that new age software can't produce. I honestly don't need the wifi card which will be removed as recommended in the above video i will instead use a usb wifi adapter that is mac compatible. So honestly will this work for this idea?? or should have i gone with a macbook white core 2 duo Remember this machine is not going to be online for any web surfing or e-mail [/QUOTE]
