Upgrading G4 To G5

Hi all

I don't think this is possible but I thought I'd ask anyway....

I have just bought a nice new G5 Dual 2Ghz machine and I;m wondering if I can use the RAM from my G4 in the new G5? I think it's 2x 512MB PC133 SDRAM in the G4.

And lastly....is there a way of using the hard drives from the G4 in the G5 or is mounting them in external firewire cases the only way?

Any ideas?

G5 + 002 + External Hd Setup

Hi all

I just have a simple question...how should I set my system up?

I have:

Mac G5 Dual 2Ghz
Digi002
Internal 160Gig HD (with Tiger on it)
Internal 160Gig HD (spare)
External FW HD (Currently my Audio Drive)

I get Drive too slow errors and I still get CPU errors which I hate and was the reason for upgrading to the G5.

What is the best setup? The G5 has 2 Firewire posts, 1x 400 Mbit/s and 1x 800 Mbit/s ( I know you guys know this ).

The Digi002 has 2x Firewire 400Mbit/s Ports.

I can have my audio drive as the Internal main drive, internal secondry drive or external Firewire drive 400Mbit/s or 800Mbit/s.

I also have a 6 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.

Any ideas?

Is it better to run the 002 on the 800Mbit/s port or the Audio Drive? what need to work faster?

Any help will be much appreciated.
