How many have a Powermac G5? — #2
Just bought a dual G5 to replace a 700MHz eMac, so obviously I'm far from the bleeding edge... I don't see myself needing to upgrade in the next 3-5 years (unless I get filthy rich…

and are you going to move to Macpro..?
do you see benefits of ditching your machine in favor of a macpro (besides speed)...?

You have to remember that the G4's are a little older than the G5's and the G5's are a little older than the MacPro...
But in the end it's up to the person who uses it nd what the…
Power Mac 9500 startup woes — #6
A handful of observations:
1. A 9500 is now old enough to have capacitor failure. Sorry, but it's just possible.
2. I acquired an 8600/300 a few years ago that exhibited the same…

If thats US$225, I think you paid a fair price for it. If you ask me, most PowerPC systems are massively overpriced these days, and I suspect that the values of most PowerPC system…

Could you provide a source for your info, or a link to a photo of an official "MMi" drive? I ask this because someone from GCC told me …

My 2.3 was introduced a little bit before the dual cores... so it's not that old, maybe in computer years but its still a VERY capable machine...

Power Mac 9500 startup woes — #5
It already had enough good RAM chips in it, since I was able to boot it to OS 7.6 a few months ago. I assume that the CUDA reset is that small button on the motherboard? I pressed …

It probably wasn't a great idea but I don't think it would have done any permanent damage. Have you tried putting in one good (compatible) RAM chip and resetting PRAM and perhaps C…

It all depends what you are going to do with it. $225 for a G5 you intend to use (and is up to the challenge) as your main mac is a good price, but $225 for something to add to you…

Yeah, here in Australia, they commonly go for $800 - $1200...I don't think i've ever seen a G5 go for less than AU$800, ridiculous, if you ask me.
Personally I think you paid a go…

5 years ago, in 2004, I purchased a used blue & white G3 with 256 MB of RAM and a 20 GB hard disk with nothing but the standard OS 8.5 system install for a little over $200…

I was looking on craigslist today and saw a PM G5 2.3GHZ 2004 model and the guy wanted 225.00 B/C he said it was shutting down programs by itself, programs not the OS or the hardwa…

Yep! That's an MMI drive. You are lucky you got one that was made just right. A lot of them had trouble with excess lubricant on the disk surface spinning to the outside edge where…

I just gave up and got out the 8100/80 instead, thinking that I'd post here the next day (which I've done).
Maybe someone else has a clue. I wonder if putting in the mis-matched R…

The thing about 8 GB is - theoretically you can install onto a single partition 120 GB drive using another Mac, then move it to the target Mac and it will boot. However, the instan…

JDW, is your Hyperdrive in running condition? If your Hyperdrive has an MMI or Miniscribe drive, it would be a miracle if it still spins.
