greetings all,
the university where i teach is switching from mac to pc for all office support
the good news is, they are practically giving me my "old" mac desktop to bring home with me.
It is a G5 powermac 1.8 Ghz Dual core with something like a 160GB harddrive and 1.5 GB Ram.
I am looking to turn it into a photo and video powerhouse at home (at work, it just ran email, safari, and Word basically - which was of course massive overkill). Other than maxing the RAM out to 4 GB (that is all it can take), what photo and video specific upgrades if any should I mak? I already have a 250GB firewire drive and a tiPowerbook at home. Does anyone if something like this could even be used as a simple server for a small website?
Thanks
