and are you going to move to Macpro..? do you see benefits of ditching your machine in favor of a macpro (besides speed)...? How often do you buy Mac's? Jim Click to expand...…

Oh.... Does anyone have a copy of SMCfanControl for pre-intel machines? I'd like to bump up the fan speed see is it due to heat... might be a dry joint.

Well, there's 4Gb of ram in there spread over six sticks - that's how it arrived. Four of them seem to be stock Samsung stuff (what Apple seems to use) and the other two are Kings…

It does sound like a bad CPU or bad RAM, unfortunately. If you have spare DDR anywhere, I would try that first. The heat-related symptoms does lead me to suspect that it's probably…

It is a Mac edition card. I have a Sawtooth G4 with the same card that runs Leopard as my server. Hopefully this will be come my OS9 gaming machine (if I can find a cheap LCD).

That or it's an Australian thing. Cool conquest anyways - plan on taking any pictures?

This pic gives a good sense of the mess the machine was in. It's still hard to believe it came up so well with just a clean.

I would think a G4 tower with AGP would be a better OSX machine, leaving the B&W to be a super fast OS9 machine. A rage128 isn't that bad on a B&W in the 66mhz slot…

Thats always fun to find something like that. I would like to get a Radeon card for my smurftower, but they just aren't cheap enough yet. Just about anything is better than that …
