[G4] Upgrading 733 MHz Quicksilver to Tiger

[Daniel Tellier]

O'brian is correct.  As I understand it, there are both hardware (PCI 
card) and software fixes to the fact that many of the G4 models could 
not see anything beyond 127 GB of hard drive space, regardless of the 
size of the drive.  Check the macintosh discussion forums and you will 
see considerable information on how to do this.  Many systems are 
running multiple internal drives (5 is the most I know of) AND very 
large ones (500 GB).

I have also never heard of airport being required for an upgrade.  My 
G4 400 Mhz gigabit ethernet runs Panther quite well and does not have 
airport.
