My main mac has finally failed me
It was an MBP 8,1 : The HDD was corrupted somehow, and now I cant use it. It's destined for the closet, at least until my parents decide whether or not I'm allowed to Mod the inside.
That leaves me with my PMacG5. It is now going to become my daily driver from now till about summer 2018. It runs OSX 10.3.9, which I get is a bit outdated, even for PPC, but I haven't got anything else.
So: My questions to you are:
1. Can i SSD and RAM Upgrade? Its a dual 1.8, so how much RAM is max? And do I need an IDE to SATA cable as well?
2. The Optical drive is failing. It makes some *clunk* noises and spits the disk out. I'd prefer to fix this manually, anyone have experience with this?
3. Youtube / Google docs on this machine anyone? Has anyone tried? I rely on the GSuite for most of my work for school, as well as my position as a writer and data analyzer.
Any answers are appreciated.
Thanks
