[QUOTE="JGO, post: 20300"] Hello, After years of contemplating I switched last night. I have a G4 now with OS X 10.1.5 and I have a few questions. Any answer/help would be appreciated. 1.) Is there a location where I can view what hardware is on the machine (Like Device Manager in Windows) ? 2.) How do I get a command prompt up? 3.) Is there an upgrade from 10.1.5 > better? (I would like to upgrade as Safari needs at least 10.2) 4.) Are video cards specific to Macs? Right now there is a GF MX in an AGP slot. I have a normal AGP Radeon 8500, can I use that in my Mac? Thank you in advance. I must say that I have been EXTREMELY impressed thus far with the G4 and OS X. I had been a widnows user for decades, and a linux user since 97, however since using OS X for just 3 hours last night .... I don't think I will go back. ;) [/QUOTE]
