I've learned there is a lot of upgrade and expand-ability options available for these machines. <br /><br />I'm a big fan of SSDs even in these older machines. Already picked up a couple for this G4. I should be publishing the next couple of posts very soon!B-rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997596702539921342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626963991476624315.post-9370758086748706722016-02-12T20:56:19.510-08:002016-02-12T20:56:19.510-08:00Read your Pimping the Quicksilver.

OS X Tiger experienced little to no spinning beachballs! Your article Inspired me to buy an SSD for my Quicksilver. I already upgraded the processor. I've picked up a keyboard/monitor switch so I can alternate between my Corei7 mac mini and the Quicksilver. There's legacy software that I like, and hey, it'll run OS 9 stuff too! Look forward to more of your QS experiences.Jerry Kucherahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04982572177803807864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626963991476624315.post-31739616560802444532015-03-11T07:28:48.478-07:002015-03-11T07:28:48.478-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.zenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01006273801333641372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626963991476624315.post-64406994576150223372015-03-09T13:31:31.410-07:002015-03-09T13:31:31.410-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.zenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01006273801333641372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626963991476624315.post-91065970416101412922015-03-08T22:16:16.777-07:002015-03-08T22:16:16.777-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.zenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01006273801333641372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626963991476624315.post-92137385045509721762015-03-05T12:01:33.590-08:002015-03-05T12:01:33.590-08:00I like your thinking on that one.

I'll probably do some additional research beforehand, but since it's all about top performance, I'm already bought in as SATA is a step up from ATA/66. I'm curious to see some performance numbers since it would be running on a 33 MHz 64-bit PCI slot. Thanks again!B-rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997596702539921342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626963991476624315.post-65708766658257506242015-03-05T07:14:22.679-08:002015-03-05T07:14:22.679-08:00You should look hard at a SATA card.

I got my SATA card for around $75. Good stuff.NathanHillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02530166512148876963noreply@blogger.com
