Updating the Macs

Migrated Kylie from her Sage iMac (450MHz G3) to her “new” eMac (1.25GHz G4) last night. All I need to do is install iLife (which should arrive tomorrow from Apple). The big advantage is the USB2.0 ports on the eMac – allowing her to read camera memory cards and use her iPod a little more effectively.

As a result of the upgrade I moved the RAM (a single 512MB stick) from the iMac to my dual-G4 500MHz PowerMac, giving it a total of 1GB of RAM! This is my first home computer to reach the magical 1GB mark 🙂

I will be keeping the iMac – it is too nice a machine to get rid of.

Edit: Yes, this means that Kylie’s Mac is the fastest in the household and the only one running Mac OS 10.5. And I am OK with that…
