1. yea i did some more googling and i see yep 1gb.. whew..   i think the 2gb systems were that because of course they had 2 slots.  thanks for confirming.  ordering ram.

2. I'd like to dual boot yes with an SSD..  it's not a must have feature but I like the idea.  I've done it with my quicksilver. 

3. do not know..  will have to check. 

4. african or european?

5. awesome thanks for that link.  i'll definitely check that out.  for now i'll use the HDD..  i have to dig out my IDE/SATA adapters somewhere.. 

that's awesome. i'm sure I have my OS 9.2.2 disk somewhere I just need to dig it out.   

So i'm reading 512mb is the most it can handle.  Is that still true?  I know that the big G4 systems could do like 2gb so I'm surprised to see it's max be so low. 

Hi everyone!  It's been a day since I've been on here.  TL;DR, I'm still kick'n and really got deep into 3D printing and VR but I still love my classic macs, but I found this fella and you know I had to see if I could put OS9 on it.. being a 1.25ghz G4 with OSX 10.3.. has 256gb of RAM and still the original HDD, but i'm going to look to put an SSD in it and max it out (1gb?) of course. 

Is there a special installer or serious of hoops to go through to get OS9 on it?  Or maybe the 9.2.2 ISO will "just work"?   I don't have the discs handy to try it out and just remember there were some tricks to get later G4 systems to install OS9 unofficially so I wasn't sure if this computer has to do those same hacks to work. 

Thanks!

If the PSU is not going on the plane, thain or automobile to get shipped to the other side of the planet, gluing capacitors to the PCB is not necessary.

This issue with phosphor persistence is the real reason for video interlacing: a progressive scan at 30 Hz (NTSC) or 25 Hz (PAL) would be intolerable. So the image is interlaced and scanned at twice that rate, which looks fine.

Fascinating, this explains a lot. I have long been a huge fan of CRT displays, so I really appreciate this info.
