Sat. 23rd August 2008 (5:25PM) - Quicksilver Roars into Life What? That's right. After spending a good $65 on a Gigabit Ethernet logic board, i've just gone and repaired my broke…

I see that the Gigabit and Digital Audio power pinouts are exactly the same. I succeeded in booting my DA from an ATX PS with an extension cable made for P4 logic boards. It had …

Oh weird. Those must have been like, the super gimped versions. Eww.

I got it, and its definatly a sawtooth(has AGP). Some of the sawtooths were 350 according to LEM

Cheers, i'll keep those in mind for tomorrow. I have to stop by my local computer store anyway so i'll see what they have in stock first. CPU extension cable won't work since the 4…

Some of you may recall the Power Mac G4 Quicksilver I picked up for the fantastic price of free not that long ago. It was destroyed by a student who fiddled with the voltage regula…

I recently improvised a fix on a Pismo hinge (it was snapped off) by using a good 12" Wallstreet hinge from a broken LCD assembly. It required disassembly of both LCDs to extract t…

Wow. I hate it when the thread I'm asking a question on is in the top 5 google results when I search for info on my question.

Hmm well. If the memory used by the processes is not what's draining your memory usage... you know that almost all free memory is normally eaten up by UNIX systems for the file sys…

It's a Yikes, in the UK that would go for the equivalent of about $60 so it seems a good deal.

a 350 would be a Yikes! I think the lowest Sawtooth was a 400. Still a pretty good deal, they can be reliable machines, and great for OS9.

That's the thing, the process with the biggest RAM usage is like 40-60mb (Kernel), with a bunch of smaller ones below it. It's like lots of tiny processes are starting but I can't…

[] ]'> Look which process exactly eats that RAM.

My Sawtooth (500mhz, 1.75gb, 10.5.4) never has free RAM. Let me explain. It is running Leopard, apache, mysql, and TorrentFlux (Python). When I first boot the machine, 1.5GB of …

Yeah it can with new hinges from places like powerbookguy.com. Good luck on the Pismo.

I ve bought a Pismo (500 mhz) on eBay, and it was sold broken. At home I unplugged the pram battery, and then it booted fine. The Pismo is in great condition. But the screen is s…

This Q is quite FA around here. Perhaps we need a FAQ page. My short answer is go to xlr8yourmac.com under articles->systems->g4 from their front page navigation ba…

The Quicksilver uses a 133mhz bus, the Sawtooth only uses a 100mhz one. The Quicksilver 800 CPU would have a multiplier of 6, so it would only run at 600mhz on a Sawtooth, if it wo…
