Hello all,
i recently got hold of my first mac off a mate of mine and i love it!
Its an old one i know and its running 10.2.8 which means i cannot connect my ipod to it!
Its no where near as fast as my core 2 duo xp so id like to upgrade it as much as i can.
A few question before i go out and buy 10.3 and more RAM.
1. What is the max RAM this thing will take? It currently has a 128 and a 64 i would like to get 512mb x 2 orrrr 1gb x 2 IF it will take it... is it worth it? What benefits will i see?
2. Which OS X will it take with the new RAM upgrade bearing in mind it only has a 600mhz CPU? I thinking 10.3 then update it to 10.3.9.
3. Upgrading the CPU? What is the max CPU the imac will take and where could i pick one up? I have looked on Ebay UK and found nothing.
4. Scrolling up and down webpages lags a little which correct me if im wrong usually points to the graphics card not being powerful enough? Could i pick up a new graphics card for it? Again where?
Thanks in advance
