Welcome to Macs and the list. I have the same machine, w/two 128 GB
internal HDs, one external 200 GB FWHD, and 1.5 GB RAM. Start at
<http://www.apple.com/support/diy/>, selecting your computer (Power Mac G4
(Gigabit Ethernet)) from the drop-down menu.
Additionally, get your setting up manual at
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50018>, which includes
instructions for upgrading many components.
