While it’s strange to describe 128MB of RAM as a “dearth,” you’ll need that much at the very minimum to run Mac OS X comfortably. And if you ever need to manually eject a disc (say, in certain “crash” situations), well, it’s a headache.Īnd that hole next to the optical drive for inserting a paper clip to eject a stuck disc? That’s gone, as well.Īnother aggravation is the dearth of RAM in the standard configuration. But if you use a third-party keyboard that has no such button, it can be aggravating. If you only use Apple’s Pro Keyboard, no problem. Like the iBook, the CD/DVD tray can only be opened by pressing the eject button on the keyboard or via the eject control strip module (found in the Eject Extras folder which is found in the Apple Extras folder which is found … oh, never, mind, you’ll locate it). The eject button on the front of the CD/DVD tray is gone. However, one change is not for the better.
Mac g4 quicksilver upgrade#
The card performs well on all graphics applications and motion/animation-intensive games, but if you want even more oomph, you can upgrade to the GeForce3 card for $350. The 867 MHz system ships with Nvidia’s 32MB GeForce2 MX video card. The Quicksilver 867MHz comes with iDVD software that lets you create DVD movies. It writes DVD-R at 2x, reads DVD at 4x, writes CD-R at 8x, writes CD-RW at 4x and reads CD at 24x. The SuperDrive is an optical drive that can read and write CDs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs, and DVD-RWs. It ships with Apple’s SuperDrive, which was formerly only available in a 733MHz G4 mini-tower that cost $3,500. But it offers some incredible bang for the buck. The standard Quicksilver 867 configuration costs approximately US$2,500. One of the best features is the flip-down side door that offers access to the Mac’s innards. The original G4 tower was unwrapped a little over two years ago, and the shape hasn’t changed much. It’s an excellent machine for anyone who wants a SuperDrive, but doesn’t need the processing powerhouse a dual processor system can provide. The Quicksilver 867MHz is the midrange model in the revamped line.
