Generic PRAM batteries — #3

Where did you get the 10 pack from? I leave batteries in the units I use once in a while, but anything put into long term storage has the battery removed.

G4 MDD 1.25Ghz — #11

Even 720p is pushing it for a G4.

Here's a surprise — #9

System Profiler is notorious for miscomputing CPU speeds for third-party cards. I'd run Metronome (you can download it from Sonnet) to get the card's actual speed.

A G4 Cube in BLACK? — #3

Here's a link to a site still selling the replacement cases. $449 is certainly an optimistic starting price on that auction. *shrug* People are funny enough that I wouldn't bet ag…

Wow! That's a good price! Do you leave all of your systems setup and plugged in? If not, I wouldn't bother leaving a battery in them anyway. I've lost several computers to expl…

Since I needed a bunch I decided to go with a bulk purchase and managed to find 10 packs for $28 shipped. Nearly every beige Powermac and Quadra I have thinks it's 1956. 8-o

A G4 Cube in BLACK? — #2

PowerLogix made some replacement G4 cube cases that came in were black, white and I believe silver.

9600 G4 — #3

When I put the 1ghz G4 in my 7500 it wouldn't power up at first. It's a good thing I got an instruction manual because in the manual it says when you remove the old CPU you have to…

9600 G4 — #2

When I first tried to power it up the PS would only click and the PS fan would make a feeble attempt to run. Thought I had been screwed with a DOA, but after some head scratching …

G4/ Ethernet Troubleshooting.. — #2

Can you temporarily install an internal ethernet network card and see if that will establish a connection online? If it does work, chances are it could be the ethernet port on the…

G4/ Ethernet Troubleshooting.. — #1

Hi, me again. We have a Quicksilver G4 at my school, and I've recently set it up as a browsing machine. If I'm correct, its a 933 MHz Model with 128 MB RAM, not 100% sure on the H…

Picked up a 9600 G4/800 today, 512 MB Ram, a 4 GB SCSI drive and a 10 GB IDE drive driven off an IDE/USB/Firewire card. Radeon 7000 Video card and the usual floppy and CD drives. …

Here's a surprise — #8

In every instance since the late 1980s, CPUs are faster than memory, which is why the CPU speed is decoupled from memory speed. But using one clock base to drive memory and CPU jus…

The processor card is what determines the system bus speed. Click to expand... That's backward, isn't it? The system has to be in-time, and that's given by a master oscillator …

That's backward, isn't it? The system has to be in-time, and that's given by a master oscillator crystal to which the memory and processor must obey. In Apple IIs and the early Mac…

Don't the Sonnet upgrades automatically increase in speed depending on the bus speed? The 7600/120 has a 40 MHz bus, while the 7600/132 has a 44 MHz bus, so I think the upgrade is…

So you have the tower version... Nice. Yes, it's nice to have the ability to use standard, easy to find drives yet still have access to SCSI stuff (like my DDS tape drive). It'll …

603e processor is soldered to the logic board. It is a very odd beast, something like a 4400, but with five PCI slots (in a riser card), an SVGA port, both ADB and PS/2 keyboard c…
