Lazlo Falconi Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hey guys I'm thinking of buying a G4 Cube, simply because I like the design. It would only be for daily tasks, such as checking email, listening to music, and chatting with friends. I might get into some light work in the GIMP but nothing too intensive. Now I know they can be upgraded from their original specs, but I was wonder how good they can get and how easy this is, and if there's anywhere I can buy hardware for it that I know will work. I know how to take a computer apart and rebuild it, and I've built a couple PCs, so while I'm not A+ certified or anything, I don't lost inside a computer either. I think the general consensus is that it's upgradable to a 1.6 GHz processor and 1.5GB RAM? That'd be certainly enough for this computer. I was also wondering if they support 1440x900 resolution with their built in video drivers. Can they go larger, and if so, how big? I don't expect them to run the 30" Cinema Display (Though that'd be nice) but I want it to work with the screen I have now. And what about dual monitor? I've seen shots with a VGA port and a DVI port, is this normal, or an upgrade? And also, I know OS X 10.5 isn't compatible with all PowerPC processors, will it work with a G4? One more thing, what's the L2 cache on a G4? I think that's it for questions.. Thanks for answers guys! Edit: Though of one more, what type of hard drive does it use? Was Apple using SATA way back when or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
