Greetings,
i bought a Powermac G5 (7,2) dual 2 ghz, 4gb ram with no hard drives. My purpose is to use it for games along with my Motorola, PPC 601, G3 and G4 systems. I have the following questions because i don't know much about G5s.
1. Which are the best video cards for this machine?
2. I found that the machine takes Sata I hard drives. Can Sata II hard drive be installed, install operating system and boot? I found one Seagate Barracuda 250gb 3gb/s.
3. OWC has ssd including the kits. Is it better to install this than a Sata Hard drive? Can i install operating system and boot from SSD?
4. I want to install Mac OS Tiger for Mac OS X games and classic games (Mac OS 9 and below). How compatible is the classic mode application on Tiger and G5?
5. I want to install Mac OS Leopard for internet. Which is the best browser for this machine and what can i do on internet with this? Can i watch youtube videos or use the social media like facebook?
6. Whatever you want to suggest for this machine i am open to anything, thank you in advance for your time to help me with your knowlegde.
Best Regards
