Answer 1

GrayGeek must own a computer store. He wants you to spend a couple grand on one of his new Mac Pros.



You are limited to one question. I will give you a couple of bonus answers:

* The expansion is standard 64-bit 33 MHz PCI, not PCI-X.

* Various Pioneer optical drives. Look in the System Profiler to see if it is DVD-RW.

* No additional RAM is supported. It is maxed out at 1.5GB.

* Cheap PCI USB cards are all over the place. Try macsales.com

* Don't get a USB card for an external drive. Get a FireWire drive. It is several times faster in real life use than USB no matter what the PC fanboys think. They don't understand bandwidth. When you get spoiled by the built-in FW, get a FW800 card and enjoy double the speed. I can copy a 1GB video file to an external drive using FW800 in 17 seconds. Plus you can install OS X on the external FW drive and boot from it if something fouls up your internal drive's OS. Can't do that with USB.

* Most eSATA cards are PCIe, but a few PCI types at link below.

* Maximum OS is 10.5.8



Hardly seems fitting for the PC fanboys to laugh at this box when half of them are running XP (9 year old OS). Even so, I wouldn't put more than $200 into this one. You can buy a PowerMac G5 (max RAM 8GB, 3 USB 2.0 ports, 2 FW400, 1 FW800, SATA drive connections, eSATA internal port, PCIx) for around $500. Not Intel, but a lot of bang for the buck.

Answer 2

You can't do any upgrades of any kind on this ancient mac. This mac is no longer supported by Apple or anyone else for that matter. Macs haven't used PowerPC for several years, they all run on Intel processors. USB 2.0 won't work, sata controllers won't work either. Buy a new machine.

Answer 3

it is what you should do. you don't get to declare particular or no in case you get to bypass. Your written guidance would be take under consideration via MEPS and the army, yet they ought to have a assertion from you with your helping data to even evaluate permitting you out of your enlistment settlement. Do you think of merely asserting i want out is all you should do. they're going to deliver you to be certain a militia well-being care provider to boot to be certain in case you would be medically disqualifed or not. undergo in concepts this would keep you from ever transforming into to be a member of ANY branch of the militia so think of long and complicated if it is what you're extremely desiring or attempting to do. additionally, disclosing issues after the reality so which you could have already disclosed on your complete medical disclosure is exciting. seems that so plenty greater is going at here than what you're saying. i think of you're merely attempting to get out of issues and maybe your recruiter is getting an identical vibe from you. discern issues out because of the fact what you're doing will follow you continuously in case you what it to or not.
