[G4] Wanted: parts for G4 DP500

[Amir 'CG' Caspi]

Hi Bruce,

	Indeed I did mean the dual-500, and indeed it is a Gigabit
Ethernet model.  My previous email (just sent) includes a link to the
specs page.

	OWC charges $33 per stick of 512MB PC133 or $32 for PC100, which
is not bad at all... but, I was hoping someone might have some used memory
taking up space in their closet that they would want to get rid of
somewhat more cheaply. =)

The same goes for the video card... a brand new ATI Radeon 9200 is about
$120, but I'm hoping someone might have one they no longer need.  (An even
older Radeon may also work, but I think it has to be an 8000-series or
higher to support 1680x1050 via DVI.  A 9000 from an MDD would work
perfectly, and nVidia is probably also OK.)

Thanks for the info!
