It may be too early in the lifetime of the G5 to answer this question, but I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not it's possible to upgrade a G5 1.6 to one of the higher spee…

At this point, I think it's too early to tell what may happen. I don't think I've come across any detailed discussion about if there will ever be processor upgrades for the G5 mode…

I can tell you that there is no way to add a second processor to the 1.6GHz model. The connectors and glue circuits are missing from the motherboard.

Apple seems to have killed the upgrade market. Upgraded computers kill new sales and Apple is all about new sales.

Every new Apple design gives way to the "no upgrade" sadists. About 18 months later, an upgrade comes out using some clever-but-semi-obvious method to get one working. Remember t…

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…
