Greetings, Running OS X 10.5.8 MDD Dual 1.25 Gig Processors. 1 ea. 750 Gig SATA internal Hard Drive 1 ea. 500 Gig SATA internal Hard Drive 2 ea. 120 Gig ATA internal Hard Drives 2 ea. 500 Gig SATA External Drives with USB interface. 1 ea. 300 Gig SATA External Drive with Firewire interface. However I have not up-graded to iTunes 10.5.2 or 10.5.3 as I feel that is something that Apple is forcing upon the users. Cold boot time is about 3 minutes. Otherwise no problems. Everything runs just fine. Cheers Harry ("`-''-/").___ ..- -''"`.. _ ( 6_ 6 ) `-.
