let me start off saying that id probably consider myself a mac newbie or a computer newbie in general.
ok i have a
G4 400mhz (AGP graphics)
312mb ram (64/128/128 dimm sdram)
10 gig harddrive + 5gig external hd
os 9.1
i just bought OSX and before i install it i would like to upgrade my computer so everything will run super smooth.
what i was planning on getting is:
- two 512mb ram so therefore i would have a total of 1152mb ram
- Western Digital Caviar WD600JB Special Edition - Hard drive - 60 GB - standard - 3.5" - ATA-100 - 7200 rpm w/ 8mb cache (i will get rid of my 10gig HD and replace it with this new 60 gig hd. partition it into 2 and run classic on one and run osx on the larger partition and keep my 5 gig external hd for mp3s)
is this ok? will my g4 400mhz be able to handle 1152mb ram? or do you see anything else thaty mite be wrong? also after in replace my old hd with my new hd should i initialize the new hd with osx or classic first? im planning to run both on my comp but will boot and use osx more. i hope this make sense. =)
