    TiBook Slot Load Problem

    Serves you right for watching such terrible films ;) If it's an original Powerbook Titanium (anything up to maybe a 733 or 866? can't remember when they changed it to a standard size slot-load mechanism) the Slot load drives are really janky. I have an old GBit 667MHz (VGA not DVI sadly) and...

    Single processor G5 or dual processor G4??

    Nahh go for a very high end Dual G4 - the dual CPU spread works much better with UNIX OSs and load balancing for Apps. Most Dual G4s above 1GHz rip the backside out of low-end G5s anyway. The only benefits from buying a G5 are the USB 2.0, SATA and FW800, oh and a really cool looking case...
