fleisch Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hi Everybody! Got my system up and running with Mac OS X 10.4.9 Hardware: Intel Core 2 Duo 6400 Asrock 775 Dual VSTA Mobo with 2 GB DDR2 RAM ATI X850 XT PE AGP Some old IDE HD... So I got all my hardware working except my crappy old TV card..no biggy. Toughest was the graphics, but I got ci/qe working. Here is what I don't like so far: -Mouse tearing -rather poor graphics performance: scrolling through web doesn't feel smooth, HD video playback is bad... -HD could be faster So I'm thinking about.. ...moving my OS X to my new, faster SATA II drive ...Buying a used Geforce 7900GT pci expr. Has anybody made similar upgrades? Is this going to solve my problems and make my os run smoother? Next Computer has to be a real mac Thx for any replies!! cheers fleisch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecker Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 You could eventually have trouble with your SATA drive. Why not get a quality IDE drive with lots of cache? The graphics upgrade should be ok, though. hecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
