Chemical Shift

I recently upgraded my main machine with: a PCI IDE card, to improve hard disk drive access speed; a Firewire/USB2.0 PCI card, to be able to connect to more peripherals; and a DVD+/-RW drive in an external enclosure, mostly for backing up data filling up our hard drives.

The only other items I would like to add to this machine is an ATI Radeon 9200 Mac Edition PCI Video Card, a G4 ZIF CPU upgrade 533MHz or greater, a USB drawing tablet, and probably a USB Universal Memory Card Reader.

Software I would like to get would be iLife 2004, Toast 6 Titanium, and eventually the Adobe Creative Suite for the Mac.
