I’m not exactly sure what I was surfing for when I discovered how affordable terabyte (1,000 gigabytes, or 1,024 for the purists) hard drives are these days. 1GB memory modules have dropped considerably too.


Considering how much difficulty I had getting Dual 2.5 GHz PowerMacintosh that wouldn’t overheat – I honestly went through FOUR systems before I got the magic fifth one that has given me no trouble whatsoever – I decided to extend the livelihood of this solid workhouse by giving it an infusion of an additional 4 GB RAM and replacing the 500 GB (cumulative total) hard drives with 2 TB (2×1000 GB) drives.
