Three CCD's usually makes a HUGE difference in image quality. That's a big thing. Motor noise can often be handled by mounting a small shotgun mike on the camera shoe (around 50-…

Oh...DUH on me. I forgot the first rev of the iBook 14" ran at 1Ghz and had 128MB build-in. I always forget about the 14" model... Voch

Thanks very much for your help voch. As it turns out, I was doing some browsing earlier and figured out what is going on. http://everymac.com/systems/apple/i..._g4_1.0_14.html th…

The iBook G4/800 had 128MB soldered to the motherboard. The iBook G4/1Ghz had 256MB soldered to the motherboard. I think this iBook G4/800 LowEndMac.com link is wrong in saying t…

> I am not sure why you have 128mb built in RAM, it should be 256mb The original ibook g4s shipped with 128mb of built in RAM, so I think that's why. They later changed it to 2…

I am not sure why you have 128mb built in RAM, it should be 256mb but as i am aware iBook RAM is PC2100. However you can install PC2700 but if i remember correctly computer's will…

I click on "About This Mac" and it says: Processor 1GHz PowerPC G4 Memory 640 MB DDR SDRAM I click on "More Info..." and go to memory and it says: DIMM0/Built-In 128MB …

If you have the 1Ghz G4 iBook then you have 256MB of RAM on-board and can add one PC2100 or PC2700 1GB SO-DIMM module for a total of 1.25GB of RAM. You'll have to remove the 512MB…

So. I have an ibook g4 1ghz that I bought in November 2003. It has a 128mb bank built in, and as soon as I bought it I filled the open slot with a 512mb (PC2700U-25330 DDR SDRAM) …

weird. Now the card is working fine again. >shrug<

I'm in the market for a new DV cam for home movies. I want MiniDV format and horizontal design, not vertical, which is harder to hold. I like Canons -- I used to own a ZR-10 camcor…

Well, apparently 345mhz core and 260mhz memory is too high for the almighty geforce4mx. If I'd have stuck at 330 and 245 I probably would have been fine. Oh well. Die card, di…

****. I fried my card. It runs the OS fine, but now whenever I do anything 3d I get red artifcating all over. Weird. It didn't do that when I cranked it up, I played halo fo…

And how about a CD/DVD burner that can burn labels?

I would just be happy if the dual 2.7s help drop the price of new or refurbed dual 2.5s closer to $1999. I'd buy one of those...

processor speeds isn't my main concern @ all. I'm more concerned about new technologies! PCIe, Dual Layer DVD+-RW (or BluRay, lol I doubt it), 3 HD spaces, etc.

Hrm, speaking of underclocked 9600XTs, mine is showing at 400mhz/310mhz.. weird. I know the retail PC ones run at 500mhz, but the memory part seems to be about right (retail is "60…

Well the rumor is that Apple will release a quad 2.5 Ghz machine with a liquid helium cooled core.

wouldn't dual cores warrent a bigger press splash? If they come out next tues...

If you're happy with it's current performance, don't bother. But here's what you do: O/C it a VERY SMALL INCREMENT at a time. Like 5mhz. Then flash the ROM. Then test it,…

I know I must be kidding myself, but I just can't see Apple releasing 2.7Ghz G5s as the top end. That would be such a bummer update a year after they couldn't get to 3Ghz. The on…
