New G4

2002-05-27 (Last Modified: 2002-05-27)

This weekend I bought an Apple Macintosh Server G4/500 from Rod. It is much love.

The machine came with a 500 MHz PowerPC 7400 (G4) processor with the AltiVec “Velocity Engine” vector processing unit and 1 MB of backside cache, 340 MB of RAM, three 18.0 Ultra2 LVD SCSI hard drives, an ATI Rage 128 Pro, and a SCSI DVD-Rom drive. I added another 256 MB of Ram, and will eventually fill the system to capacity with 1.5GB of RAM. As soon as I figure out how to remove the front bezel, I’m going to replace the DVD drive with my 16x Yamaha burner.

I don’t have a name for it yet. Any suggestions?
