I'm completely new to macs. I have a 450 mhz G4 mac that that has about 140 gigs of hard drive space and a gig of ram. Is it possible to buy a faster G4 chip? If so, how fast can I go? What do i need to know before doing so? how much would it cost?

THANKS!

I will have my new laptop in the next few days. I wanna make sure that I get what I paid for, so I wanna check to see if the laptop really has the parts (CPU, rams, etc) that I ordered. How do I do that?

I've tried repairing ntfs.sys w/ Windows XP CD, but the setup says that it cannot find any hard drives!! I have 2 hard drives and it doesn't recognize either of them! In system BIOS it does recognize both of them and their capacity. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting them- no luck.

I've also tried replacing ntfs.sys w/a boot disk that gives me a dos prompt- I can see the files on both hard drives, including ntfs.sys, but when I try to copy the version from the Win XP CD to the c:\ drive or other hard drive for that matter, it says invalid directory! I can see the files, but can't do anything with them!

How do I repair the ntfs.sys?!? How can I get my PC to work? Please help!

This will be in a factory. I need to show four different displays from a single PC. The most distant monitor will be about 200 feet away. Is there a video board that can do all this or will I need a signal booster, too?

I saw, or heard, somewhere that there's a PCI card that lets you have more than the regular up to four physical drives.

What do you call that?
Where would the IDE Cables go? (I guess to the card)
Where would you connect the power supply? (since I counted in mine, you only get four for the drives)

would this be more efficient than having one massive hard drive? I'm thinking maybe since one time my salve hard drive died and now all those pictures and stuff I downloaded are gone forever...

Don't want to have to take it back, you know what i mean. I haven't bought one in 8 years, and I'm sure a lot has changed.

I do not print photographs, if that matters. Unless the paper/ink is more reasonable than it used to be? I can print single pix at Walgreens for $.15 each, anytime.
