I've recently bought Logic Pro 7 (woo hoo!) and I now need to upgrade my imac, which is currently running OS 10.2.8, to Panther or Tiger, and I also need to upgrade my RAM from 256 to 512. But it looks like this gonna cost about £200 from the Apple shop. So my question is: is there a cheaper way? Can I get these things second-hand? Are ther disadvantages?
Thanks a lot. Chris |

I strongly counsel not to use smcfancontrol, I found it to be a (very) bad idea IMHO. Some users use another controlling software more interesting but more difficult to tune up CoolBok. But it won't help if the fan is dead, dirty or running to its death.
Cooling pads are great, But not all are equal, I use a Zalman Notebook Cooler, it's great, it works (up to 10°C less depending of the use, if I let the seethru on the macbook…). Mind that all cooling pads are not created equal… I can't seem to be able to join the Zalman website right now…
