to coius I also note that you are running a stock machine no upgrades mine has sonnet/encore st/G4 1.8Ghz CPU and 1GB memory and there in lies my problem, nothing seems to work …

to Rodus and Coius: I have been told because my G4 AGP is no longer stock ie upgraded that no Geoforce cards will work because of power issues is this true ? Click to expand... …

According to this. Yes [] ]'>

just as an example would this card work http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RADEON-GRAPHICS-128MB-CARD-9800-PRO-MAC-EDITION-AGP4X_W0QQitemZ220271815184QQihZ012QQcategoryZ3762QQssPageNameZWDVWQQ…

I haven't heard that and would doubt it's correct (maybe someone else can correct me here). IIRC the 5200's were 8x AGP so you'd have to tape a couple of the connectors which is h…

to Bunsen: yes it was a Mac version ( but could have been duff ) to Rodus and Coius: I have been told because my G4 AGP is no longer stock ie upgraded that no Geoforce cards will …

you could flash a PC 6200 AGP for that thing. a AGP Geforce 6200 (has to be the wang version) would work better then a 7000 PCI or AGP, or you could use a Radeon 9800 Pro in it as …

I just got a Geforce4 MX 64MB AGP Card and Leopard runs great on it! Although there is no Core Image, but who cares?!?! I am running Leopard on this puppy with a Dual 450MHz CPU,…

Geforce FX5200 should work too. Hardly a great card but miles better then the 128.

Was the 9800 a Mac version? PCI radeon 7000 / still would be better than the stock rage 128 pro AGP, right? Click to expand... Yes

I have not had much look with a card yet I have bought 2 of ebay an had to send them back because they did not work one was Nvidia GeForce 6200 DVI 256Mb AGP x2-8 Power Mac G4/G5 a…

unlike the 400Mhz Sawtooths, G4 350MHz G4's have no hope of using Dual processors as they were pre-Rev 7 boards (Uni-north 3 instead of Uni-north Rev 7). you need Uni-North 7 in o…

So like you could make leopard run on a G3? Click to expand... well you can run Leopard on a G3 system that has a G4 upgrade on it, but its not the same as running it on a G3 t…

So like you could make leopard run on a G3?

Installed Mac OS X Leopard. So far i'm pleased with it, it's not a bad operating system on this CPU and Graphics Card. Speed isn't sacrificed too much for the functionality... it's…

I still have the source file for the diagram (OmniGraffle Pro) so I'll make some minor changes later. May make up a wiring diagram for the mains power passthrough connector as well…

That guy's diagrams are pointlessly confusing. The one on outofspec is much clearer. But in the end it was someone in IRC who sent us the pinout from the Apple service manual who…

I remade some of the wiring tonight to a much neater design. Still needs to be tied together but it's otherwise working fine. Used a 20 to 24 pin extension cable this time as well.…

Yep, after much headbanging on IRC with iMac600 and others, this was the conclusion we settled on. I have a box of 24V Powerbook supplies with dodgy cases I picked up at auction. …

That's where this next component comes in. Instead a connection of 5vSB, it will use a secondary internal 24v PSU from a PowerBook! The connections of the PowerBook PSU will be con…

Bunsen, I was using 5VSB of my Antec NeoPower 650 Blue for my Digital Audio mobo but eventually after time it started loosing power under extreme load and right after power button …

http://www.outofspec.com/frankenmac/wire.shtml Looking at the link you provided earlier, the two additional pins toward the top of the connector require at least 12v to start up- …

Why? Are you thinking of the +28V line? I had no problem substituting +5VSB (standby) Otherwise, a G4 requires a -lot- less power than a P4
