<div>Hey all:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I just got my first Mac ever, a PowerMac G4 400mhz with 2 harddrives (one 10gb and one 20gb). And I absolutely love it. (Its was upgraded by the previous owner to have 768 ram) The processor is a bit slow, but its great other than that. (my old computer was a windows 98 home-build that I helped put together myself with no sound card - so anything is awesome compared to that!!)
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have two questions:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>One: I'm looking to get an airport original for it from ebay. Does anyone have experience in installing one and what has your experience been? Easy or hard? I've never cracked open the computer case yet, so I dont quite know what I'm gettting myself into. What type of tools should I need other than a screwdriver? Is it anything similar to a pc inside?
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Two: I'm also looking to possibly upgrade the processor and harddrive. Where would I go about looking for the correct hardware for this? I know it has to be specifically mac compatible, but does it absolutely have to be manufactured by Apple? And is this economical at all - or should I just leave it as is? I only paid 100 for the whole computer with
10.3.9 and keyboard/mouse and speakers plus the 60 or so for the airport. Is it worth upgrading? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for any suggestions-</div>
<div>Erin</div>
