Thanks for the great advice regarding my RevA DP 1.8 PowerMac. Chinasaur will be glad to know that I decided not to make er Walk da Plank. I decided that you guys were right and that going to a DC2 or a DC 2.3 would not have been that big a difference. I Finally decided on two new Maxtor Maxline III's for my internal drives and got the FirmTek external SATA HotSwap enclosure for my old 160mb orphaned drives. I also got Tiger as well and picked up a ATI 9600xt videocard off eBay to replace my nvidia 5200. I already have 3.5 megs of RAM so I think I'm set. I really appreciate the advice as without it I would have probably gone out and bought a new box, for which, I really didn't have the money which would made my wife unhappy! Thanks again!
