[G4] G4 450 Harddrive Question

[Rob Marles]

Hi John

Regarding CPU speed, I couldn't agree more.  

I have a PIV1.7gHz that I built the day Intel released a SDRam compatible motherboard (because SD was still dirt cheap and DDR was more then small cars at the time).

Loaded with 1.5gb of RAM, it still runs like a champ, no need to upgrade the CPU just yet.  My biggest beef is constantly running out of drive space (yeah I have extra 40gb drives, but not enough space in the box to plugg'em in.)

I also understand as I adminster several PA-RISC unix servers as part of my job - and they are prime examples of why CPU speed doesn't always equate to a faster workhorse.

Thanks for the firmware tips/etc as well.

-Rob

I often seem to stand alone, but I think people are too focused of CPU speed
