a 350 would be a Yikes! I think the lowest Sawtooth was a 400. Still a pretty good deal, they can be reliable machines, and great for OS9.

Is 25 bucks for a 350/10gb/DVD reader/ZIP/64mb ram graphite a good deal?I have plenty of ram to upgrade it with, along with a HD. Click to expand... Is that a sawtooth or just …

Hmm well. If the memory used by the processes is not what's draining your memory usage... you know that almost all free memory is normally eaten up by UNIX systems for the file sy…

That's the thing, the process with the biggest RAM usage is like 40-60mb (Kernel), with a bunch of smaller ones below it. It's like lots of tiny processes are starting but I can't…

[] ]'> Look which process exactly eats that RAM.

My Sawtooth (500mhz, 1.75gb, 10.5.4) never has free RAM. Let me explain. It is running Leopard, apache, mysql, and TorrentFlux (Python). When I first boot the machine, 1.5GB of …

Yeah it can with new hinges from places like powerbookguy.com. Good luck on the Pismo.

I ve bought a Pismo (500 mhz) on eBay, and it was sold broken. At home I unplugged the pram battery, and then it booted fine. The Pismo is in great condition. But the screen is s…

This Q is quite FA around here. Perhaps we need a FAQ page. My short answer is go to xlr8yourmac.com under articles->systems->g4 from their front page navigation ba…

The Quicksilver uses a 133mhz bus, the Sawtooth only uses a 100mhz one. The Quicksilver 800 CPU would have a multiplier of 6, so it would only run at 600mhz on a Sawtooth, if it wo…

There is a hack somewhere on macmod.com. It's for a tiBook I think but it should work for yours too. I think he used Fiber Optic.

I did the hack and now OS X KP's at startup.

Hey, I have been wanting to do a hack to backlight my lobmard keyboard. I was thinking I should use some light string, but I dont know how I should power it. I was thinking maybe …

I pulled a PCI radeon 7000 32mb out of a beige g3 to put in my sawtooth, it still would be better than the stock rage 128 pro AGP right?

I have the same question and for the same reasons, but mine is 400mhz.

Thanks for the link -- I guess what I'm really asking is: Can I put this http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-PowerMac-G4-Quicksilver-800-MHz-processor-HS_W0QQitemZ190244586323QQcmdZViewIte…

the main problem you have with a sawtooth and dual CPUs is that most of the boards don't support Dual CPUs. If you have a revision newer than Rev 3, you can do it. I am hoping th…

I'm possibly interested in upgrading the CPU in my Sawtooth (500mhz now). I don't want to buy one of the 3rd party upgrade cards -- I'd prefer to buy a stock CPU that was pulled w…

I found a seller in the US who has lithium cells with built in protection circuits. I think 18650 and 4/3A are the same - I remember I found him while looking for cells from my ow…

As I recall it only applies if you do not reinstall your OS after the CPU swap. Apparently the L3 is recognized and works just fine if you reinstall.

Green/White powder around, probably leakage from the original PRAM battery. Weird... I was bored and keep on pressing the PMU Reset button but it still ignoring me, so I closed th…

Here is a page with a 12 volt mod. However, keep in mind that I have seen it suggested that the Digital Audio G4s do not recognise the L3 cache of Quicksilver processors. However,…

When you say a mess around the battery, what do you mean? Corrosion? White powder? Can you post a picture?
