Then I've got the iBook and the iMac, which also have similar numbers and types of random stuff hooked up, the iMac's an old grape 400 MHz thing with 512 MB RAM... it sits in the corner and acts as my webserver. The iBook is an 800 MHz G3 with 256 MB RAM, I believe... I use that for, well, whatever I don't want to do sitting right here. Everything's running Mac OS 10.2.6

I'm not getting more RAM until I actually own the computer all to myself... I split this one with my dad. Just installed 10.2.8, hadn't already 'cause I was waiting to make sure there weren't more problems with it. Took about 10 minutes to add to my iBook, so I dunno what that's about.

I want your surround sound, Infin8Cyn. Bwahahahaha.

Looking back, I really should have bought 2500+ bartons instead of the 2600+. I hear the bartons are extreme overclockable.
