while reinstalling the ram sticks i noticed one of them sounded like crinkling cellophane however that stick appeared to work normally (if you can call it normal) with the computer…

I happily defer to equill's data over hearsay. I've never directly tested the assertions from the LEM profile, so I have no direct experimental data to support or refute it. I've a…

I am puzzled by the references to the <8GB spectre. Ryoohki is writing about OS 9.2.2, having suspended his use of the formerly installed 10.2.5. I'll not deny that the li…

k the beige is reformatted however it just crashed and froze again... this time it was during shutdown the finder "unexpectedly quit" during the shutdown proses and i told it to sh…

The "bad things" or "flakiness" referred to include crashing, instability, failure to boot, etc. The LEM article that Quadraman refers to is consistent with what I'd heard: Instal…

You need to keep your Operating System files confined to the first 8gb of hard drive space or bad things happen. LEM recommends creating a 7gb partition and putting all your OS fil…

You can try a couple of things. You could try removing one DIMM at a time and test whether the problem persists. You could also try moving the DIMMs around and retesting. Howe…

Thanks for your help I will keep and eye on ebay for any of the above cards unless anyone knows where I can get any new ones

I don't know if Rev. C ROMs fixed this problem, but ISTR that if the system resides in a partition larger than 8GB, much flakiness can occur if any system resources are stored beyo…

My WAGuess would be that one of your memory DIMMs is defective and the fault resides at an address which is always occupied by the operating system. GaugePro and its ilk cannot …

I was just about to say what bunson just said(before the power just went out very unexpectedly on this clear sunny day -_- ) He is right though, a PCI Radeon 7000 is not worth i…

An AGP Radeon 7000 (and then possibly an OS re-install) would switch on Quartz Extreme In Mac OS X 10.2 and later, Quartz Compositor uses the processors (GPUs) on supported …

Its a MT There are 3 Dims 64 MB not specified 64 MB not specified 128 MB PC-133 <--- think it was freezing before I added this stick Tested memory for 3 hours with Gaug…

Some extra data could be useful. DT or MT or AIO? How much RAM? PC100, or PC133 back-compatible? If a DT, low-profile DIMMs? Identical DIMM cards, or mixed? Why do you remove…

Ok I have this Beige and its crashing in OS 9.2.2 whenever I use the Network browser without having ethernet cord plugged in. This one sure way to get it to crash but there are ot…

If you go looking for a Radeon 7000 PCI Mac Edition, get one with not just VGA out but also DVI-I and S-Video out, with also 32MB of RAM. This will give you the opportunity to dri…

The only thing I now is that the AGP Swatooth has an AGP 2x slot, so newer cards will not fit to it. GeForce Ti's, and ATI Radeon 7000 should fit, as I read at least.

I have just recently upgraded my G4 450MHz (sawtooth) with a Sonnet Encore 1.8Ghz processor and installed Leopard. I still have the original graphics card in it (ATI Rage 128 Pro) …

A few days ago, my battery arrived and I put it into the iMac. Then I reset the PMU, and here we are, several days later, the iMac showing NONE of its previous time forgetfulness.…

Well, for shits and giggles, I wanted to see if the AGP slot works. And what do you know it does, I'm not sure what that weirdness was before...

I think it was when I was swapping out the optical drive. I remember dropping a screw but I couldn't find it. I am actually typing on it right now, but I also think the bus for the…

Yeah doesn't sound good, i agree that something must have shorted out, how did that screw get in there?

Yes it is.
