PowerMac G4 2.1... for Real?

Timothy Gerges · #1 March 8th, 2007, 12:33 PM

Hey,
I, as always, was looking for good deals on old macs.
I currently have a 350mhz powermac g4. Needless to say, its super slow, cpu usage reaches 93% with only dashboard and adium running.
Someone offered my dad, who works in the PC industry a PowerMac g4 2.1Ghz, however, this does sound a bit suspect.
i mean, it does have high specs, 3 x 110 gbHdds, 1 Gig ram, etc, although i havent found any PowerMac g4 made with 2.1Ghz processor..
Could this be for real, or is someone mistaken?
Please help, cause if this deal is legit, i dont wanna let it pass..
Thanks

If it really is a G4 with a 2.1GHz processor, it has an upgraded third party processor.

If it's a G4 Tower, it has room for either 3 or 4 drives, depending on the model.

with the correct trays, you can get 6 in the bad boy. i've had up to 3 in mine. then i got one really big one, and consolidated. now i need to start looking for another really big one. all this tvring with my eyetv fills the drive up fast...

anywho, owc has a 2gig g4 cpu upgrade, and if its oced, that'd make 2.1 possible.

Can't say about the 2.1 GHz, but our G4 tower is upgraded to 1.4, and it works fine.
