I rarely use those plug-ins now so I hardly ever boot into Leopard but I like to retain the choice. I prefer Tiger to Leopard, but I have a few Logic plug-ins that require Leopard so I have that installed too.
#EASYFIND VS EASYFIND2 SOFTWARE#
I installed Tiger and ran software update. Fine with me I prefer wired connections for their speed and reliability. There is no bluetooth or wireless network installed. The active area is square with each side the length of the long side of a sheet of A4 paper. The tablet is an oversized A4 which is a size I don't think Wacom make any more. It works beautifully so I don't care about the adapter being a bit ugly.
#EASYFIND VS EASYFIND2 SERIAL#
I have a Wacom tablet installed via an interface that adapts serial port hardware to USB ports. I always keep a suitable spare drive (sometimes several) in the cupboard. I highly recommend the dual drive mirror setup because if your boot drive fails the machine will just boot from the other disk, and you can then replace the dead drive and clone back to the same configuration. Each 3D work project I create adds another 2GB-6GB of data to the drives so in a few months I will probably replace these drives with 2TB drives. They are partitioned so I can run Tiger (which is what I usually boot into) and Leopard and also keep my data on separate partitions from the system. The machine has two 1.5TB SATA hard drives which I use to mirror each other. The DVR-110D is supported by both Apple disk burning and Toast so it doesn't cause any trouble using it. This is an upgrade, a Pioneer DVR-110D which is both faster and more reliable than the drive that Apple supplied with these machines.
The SuperDrive is currently the one that shipped with the machine but I will pull the drive from the dead Quad G5 eventually and put that in. I run a dual monitor setup with one Dell 23-inch 2048x1152 screen (16x9) and one Dell 17 inch 1280x1024 (5x4) screen. The graphics card is the standard GeForce 6600 that shipped by default with this generation of G5. 10GB is enough even for a heavy task switcher like me. I might even replace the 1GB DIMMS with 2GB ones eventually to push the thing all the way to 16GB, though I am undecided on whether to bother with more RAM now. This leaves two slots free which will probably be filled with a 4GB kit from OWC as they still sell new RAM for this machine and give a good guarantee with it. There is 10GB of RAM, installed as 4x 2GB DIMMS and 2x 1GB DIMMS.
