These Macs accept 1GB of RAM and HDDs up to 128GB. Click to expand... Is this really true? Obviously 128GB was huge 10 years ago, but I still don't see any reason for that sort…

I thought about to post the same topic yesterday. These Macs accept 1GB of RAM and HDDs up to 128GB. ZIF CPU upgrades up to 1100 MHZ are available. The 300mhz model is a bit slo…

I tried another ethernet cable and it now works. Strangely the one used previously worked at one time as well.

I have always liked the B&W G3 Machines. I think they had more personality in terms of case coloring than the later Yikes! and Sawtooth machines. For me I have installed a …

I have 2 B&Ws in use, one with a G4-450. Both are very nice machines. I remember looking at them back in early 2001 when I decided to buy a 8500 powermac and beef it up wit…

Well it lacks the fundamental aspect of the hinge down motherboard, which was amazing.

"wow, this is the future of the Mac" Click to expand... And the Pro still has the same basic case design, wow.

Well, Cory, I've had Windows Server 2008 (basically a beefed up Server version of Vista) on a PIII Celeron 600 with 384MB of RAM! Its...not pleasant, but not as bad as you'd ex…

I've actually used Vista on a PIII Celeron, 800MHz with 512mb of memory. The easiest way to describe it is that it can happen, but that it's maybe not the most pleasant thing ever…

Or Vista on a PIII

You can drop a G4 in one of these and use Leopard. That's some pretty good longevity. Kind of like Tiger on a 1996-era 7500 with a G3/G4 card.

Thanks!!! I'll give it a try and let you know. I already tried unplugging the battery and that wasn't it.

This may be obvious but maybe I missed something... When you added the RAM, did you take out the processor daughter card (it's got that funky heatsink appendage thing with it) to …

Is the Blue and White PowerMac G4 a previously unknown prototype hidden in Cupertino's labs? Click to expand... It was originally a Rev 1 G3/350, then the motherboard was repla…

^^I'm guessing, weird Apple prototypes aside, that it's a B&W G3 with a G4 Zif upgrade.

Is the Blue and White PowerMac G4 a previously unknown prototype hidden in Cupertino's labs?

I have read reports in the past of the onboard ethernet for Yosemitie and Yikes (the worst culprits) boards going very wrong, it may be time to get a PCI ethernet card. I'm assumi…

Is your memory fast enough? Click to expand... Yes it is, "512 MB 64x64 PC-133 CL2" is what the sticker says. Comes from OWC. i did notice something though. When I put the kerb…

There remains the question if the Lombard memory that you used is electrically compatible with the Pismo, and if not, then whether it (both the Pismo and the memory part) is still …

Tried disconnecting the PRAM the battery, nothing still. I installed the RAM correctly. I'm still lost!!! I tried checking for things that might be dosconnected, but nothing.

http://www.transintl.com/technotes/installram_pismo.htm says the memory electrical spec is somehow different... [?]

trying unplugging the pram battery

The screen doesn't flash, the white led under the screen does. I think you are right about the memory. I found that 1 beep = memory problem, but I don't think its the actual memor…

Yeah thats the ram beeping. My PowerMac G4 did that when I didn't seat ram correctly.

A single beep -> could <- mean a wrong or not well seated RAM module. Regarding the screen flashing: try to connect an external display and see what happens. J
