Some more info would be nice; complete specs, what you've done to it since/before it came slow, etc.

Hey guys. Lately, my iMac has been painstakingly slowwwwwwww (at start up, with basic functions, and online. I guess it's lack of RAM, but I'm not so sure. What do you guys think i…

It has been a while, so I could be wrong here, but I think that you also have to change "slot 6" to "my card", otherwise it will assume that you're trying to boot from the internal…

I have the Disk Controller II inserted into my socket 6 (using ROM 1 for my Apple IIgs). When I turn the computer on, the disk drive doesn't perform any sort of activity at all, ho…

Now I can't save as QT movie and then try to open it like you did because the QT plugin under all three browsers asks me to pay for QT Pro upgrade, but I did try all three browsers…

Wow, you're having the exact opposite issue from what I'm having; bloody QuickTime, make up your mind what you want to break

I'm thinking the problem is Quicktime plugin being stupid under Safari... My Pismo 10.3.9 400 MHz PowerPC G3 256 MB SDRAM Trying to play your movie on your problem, by viewing…

Whee, I made a video of exactly what's going on here: http://augusf.dyndns.org/public/qtissue.mov If anybody has any ideas, I'd be happy to hear them; it's really rather annoying…

Thanks for the reply, sircabulon. I think you're right - the card is toast. I tried it again in the 66MHz slot, and this time I got some video, but it was the same corrupted video…

Excellent! I will only be using low density RAM - Thanks!

The 66 mhz slot should not effect it. If the card can fit into the slot normally, then it is rated for that speed. Are there any broken or loose solders on the VGA connector? I …

(1) Beige G3, ATI Rage 128 PCI video card, 17" Apple blue and white CRT monitor: works great. (2) Power Mac G4 "Yikes," with either of two similar ATI Rage 128 PCI video cards, an…

yes it cantake non low profile sticks its the only Beige G3 that can cause there is allot of room above the ram. i just hope you dont mean high density and low density ram, cause t…

Can the G3 AIO take non low-profile DIMMS?

Thanks John, VLC plays 'em fine Just wish it wasn't such a slouch in loading time :

OK MadMax, THANK YOU! I did what you said and the download estimate dropped to 15 minutes and with 10 minutes to go, it looks like I am into speedy downloads. This is on the 600 …

OK, I'll give your instructions a try. I just tried to download a file from apple.com 82MB and I stopped it when the estimated time hit over 2 hours. ACTUALLY, for this download,…

i never had a issue like that on my Beige G3 AIO in OS 9.2.2 with the stock hardware or upgraded hardware. i ran it on 1.6meg DSL and a 15meg cable internet and it flew on the net …

I am trying to set up a couple G3 500 MHz computers for my grandkids. They are on a DSL connection. They are running OS 9.2 I can connect to the internet using Internet Explorer…

Thanks for that recommendation -- an external power jack is a definite plus. I'm sure I can dig up an Adaptec around these parts. Now I know what to look out for. Thanks again!

I've heard that those cards based on NEC chipsets have the best performance and compatibility under OS X. I'm using an Adaptec AUA-1420A, (NEC-based) and have had no problems with …

Thanks, Byrd -- it's good to know that you haven't had any bad experiences. I see generic cards around here for $5-10 pretty regularly. At those prices, I should just try one. If i…

Any generic OHCI compatible USB 2.0 card will work; in fact all the vanilla cards I've put into my PB G4 867 have been detected right out of the box under OS X. JB

Although I use FW most of the time, high(er)-speed USB is getting to be a real need. USB 2.0 cards abound around here. Are there any that are particularly good (or, conversely, so …
