An iMac users question If u order the g4 with a superdrive can you later add a combo drive to the other bay or are you forced to fork out 135+$ for their combo drive?

It would appear as though no one understood my moderately vague question! Can you make the second bay drive door flip down without trashing the front of the case? and second does O…

You can certainly install a third party cd burner in the second optical bay. It is not too difficult to do; you merely remove the drive bay from the back and install the drive. The…

I have the dual 1.0 MDD and added a 52x32x52 Lite-on cdrw to my lower bay and it was very easy. xlr8yourmac provided me with a few tips like how to slide the face of the tray off …

If it was a drive, or the IDE controller, it seems like you'd get a chime, then the question mark. Have you tried eliminating different RAM chips and slots? Pull all the RAM chip…

I used to be able to boot from a CD now that won't even work. BTW: I put in a brand new HD with no luck. If this were the DC/DC board, what would the symptoms be? Random failur…

Mybe no help to you, but: You DID get a boot sound normally? My cube doesn't make any noise (speaker-wiese) on startup. I thought since the usb speakers need to be powered and have…

Anyone know what happened to www.idevgames.com?

Down temporarily while Carlos moves the site onto an OS X box. Check the iDevGames chat room in iChat in the meanwhile if you have coding Q's.

Thanks! Sounds like a great move. Thanks!

Something wrong with the install cd is what I read on their mailing list. Hopefully soon they will be back up and running!

Should work just fine. I use the same machine.

It should work great. I've been setting up a lab full of those machines, but with smaller hard drives and less RAM, and they do quite well under 10.3.

I was shocked at how well 10.3 performed on my old DP450. Much faster than 10.2, and a much greater difference than 10.1-10.2. Of course, it was being installed from my new G5 DVD

I use ID2 on the DP450 everyday. It runs ok, but you have to remember ID2 can clog up with large documents or quality previews switched on. I have 1GB RAM with this machine and wo…

Just wondering how the dual 450 would stack up against a 733ghz G4 PM?

For stuff like that which is not MP aware you'd BETTER go with a beefier single. A 733 is good but lacks decent cache so I'd say a 733 graphite or 867 qs.

Hmmm, Just got the dual 450... worked out much cheaper in the end. The stuff I'm doing is not that intensive, in fact I used to do it on a G4 400, so I should be OK... Only thing …

The Lite-on LTR-52327S is fully supported for everything in 10.3. I had one, but I sold it and got a Combo drive instead. NewEgg has the LTR-52327S in stock right now for $39 w/ fr…

My combo drive is an LG GCC-4480B. I think it's discontinued, but this particular model is 48x24x48x and is also fully supported in OS X. I got it on eBay.
