Now it just needs a RAM upgrade. Does require soldering, but it's only 4 chips, so not too bad of a job. Surprisingly, Leopard actually runs WAY better on these with 512MB. Though, I am working on a way to get 1GB working on these, which will be even more of a nice upgrade.

Apple really did think differently when they chose to ship this unit with an IDE HDD from the time of Pentium 3 laptops. As a matter of fact, I upgraded my 40GB disk to 120GB on my 1GHz P3 laptop, back in the day, just before getting a P4 one.

That was an awesome monitor for the time, even if the picture kinda sucked. I remember using that bad boy for my PC, Xbox 360, original Xbox and PS2 all hooked into various inputs, and loved showing off how I could seamlessly switch my monitor from PC to game console. I even have the menu sound burned into my brain. DOO DOO.... Deedoo.... Good times...

@Sentry A friend of mine is using Mac and is strongly discouraging it, especially for multimonitor setups: there is no option to pin the dock to one screen and it keeps jumping around and ruining your maximised apps. No keyboard shortcut to move windows to the sides or to other monitors (like Win+Arrows on Windows). No monitor daisy chaining. The non-ARM macbooks are jet engines. Also personally I think Windows got way better design with Win11 than it had in 10, it went back to having somewhat readable icons. If it's just the design you're going for, I wouldn't do it. Also Windows can be customised a lot, I'd look into some custom icons and themes if I were you.
