<div>So then all I need to get is the router, that's what I wanted to know.</div><div>I don't need an airport card or a base station, as I just have the one</div><div>desktop running, connected to the internet via dsl. </div><div>I haven't gotten the list via email since 11/15, I hope that's just because </div><div>there weren't enough messages to send as a digest. Because...</div><div><br></div><div>I finally made all the transfers from my DP 450 to my new QS DP 1gig!</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I put 10.4.11 and 9.2.2 on the 160 gig drive it came with, and then I added</div><div>my 250 gig in there too. Unfortunately the 160gig drive that was in there, in position</div><div>3, <i>should</i> have had the extra drive carrier on top, but it was gone, as was</div><div>the plate in position 2. Since I had the 250gig drive in position 2 in my 450, I just</div><div>pulled that out with the plate and made the swap. I also used the PCI card</div><div>for larger drives that I had in my 450 to connect it. The QS accepts larger</div><div>size drives, but in position 2, the cable from the drive in position 3 would</div><div>only work if I could've put the other drive on top. (I know I could've pulled the</div><div>carrier from the 450, but it still has 2 drives on it, and I haven't decided on those).</div><div>And I have my external FW 250 gig drive plugged in. It has 10.4.11 on it, plus a </div><div>lot of stuff I copied from my old drives.</div><div>I also maxed out the ram by adding a 3rd 512 stick that I pulled from my 450.</div><div>(I'd bought the pc133 instead of pc100 when I last bought ram, just in case, so </div><div>that worked to my advantage now)</div><div>Internet connected with no problems at all, which had been my main worry.</div><div>DHCP connection worked flawlessly right off the bat.</div><div>The only other thing was that it was said to have an nVidia Geforce 4MX 64MB</div><div>card in it, and it actually had an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro, 64MB. I think the cards are comparable,</div><div>(any opinions?) but when I went to plug in my CRT there was no VGA port. </div><div>Lucky for me I had the right adapter on hand.</div><div>All in all, considering I got it for $250, I'm pretty happy. </div><div>Note to Doyle: so far the fan noise doesn't bother me too much, but I'm saving the info</div><div>you shared with me on that, just in case!</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>margaret</div></body></html>
