Titan

A leftover from work (acquired Sep05). By random chance the five letter word used as the computer name just happened to be the codename of the system. The AGP graphics card had died so I replaced it with the Radon 9200 before I could use it at home.

I was back to a desktop system which was powerful and expandable, but I missed the quiet operation of Pongo. Titan's fans are not overly loud, but if there is a need for overnight processing I will close the door so as to muffle the sound from us sleeping in the room next door.

History: The PowerMac G4 (Quicksilver) brought a slightly modified enclosure to the G4 line. It also included a processor speed-bump, and brought the DVD-R "SuperDrive" to the mid-level model. The Quicksilver PowerMac was available in three configurations: The 733 MHz model, with 128 MB of RAM, a 40 GB hard drive, and a CD-RW drive, was $1,699 U.S., the 867 MHz configuration, with 128 MB of RAM, a 60 GB hard drive and a DVD-R drive, was $2,499 U.S., and the high-end dual-800 MHz model, with 256 MB of RAM, an 80 GB hard drive and a DVD-R drive, was $3,499 U.S.
