Some hardware questions for 15" G4 1.5ghz Powerbook:
---What sort of compatibility do dvd burners have with OS X (and do you have any recommendations for a good external burner)?
---I just found out that macsales sells internal superdrives for $130. Would this be better than an external, or is it a bad idea to run the risk of voiding Applecare? (and if I do get one, can't I just switch the stock drive back in if I ever have to take my powerbook in?) (or if I do get one, can I have an apple service center install it? and does this cost money?)
---I have 512mb of RAM and I want to buy 1 stick of 1gb. I'm guessing the best places to get some memory are newegg and macsales, but what type should I get?
---Related to previous question: doesn't Crucial memory come with a lifetime warranty? Newegg.com offers 1 or 2 year warranty coverage for an additional price, but I thought most manufacturers already included it.
---What sort of compatibility do wireless routers have with OS X (and do you have any recs)?
-I've noticed that some routers require a Windows PC for the initial configuration. I have a PC, but this is kind of a pain in the ass... is it the norm for all non-Apple routers?
Thanks in advance.
