My heroic victory over the forces of technology
Tonight, I finally installed that 2GB of RAM for my Power Mac that I bought in January 2006.
Yes- that’s right, its taken me over 2 and half years to actually learn how to install 4 RAM modules correctly. Still, now its done the Power Mac feels turbo charged.
I also found another speed boost a fortnight ago. The Power Mac had been slowly down tremendously, and I managed to work out it was the hard disc that was slowing things up. So I took the radical step of cleaning inside the computer with compressed air. And bingo! Back to usual speeds. However, the hard disc is refusing to verify itself, so I’ve splashed out on a 1TB external hard disc drive as both backup and storage space for video editing. Funny how these things go from the stuff of corporate servers to affordable.
