Looking at dual 1.8Ghz PowerMac G5 for replacement of G4 — #9
My feeling is that every computer will get obsolete.
You pay 3K 2.5 yr's later it's worth 1.5K or whatever...
if you got it at a good price and you are happy with it, that's all…

How much can I get for my G5? — #10
None the less, the G5 did get screwed with 10.6 BUT it will not stop working B/C of that...
How many people actually buy a new OS when it first comes out, I myself do not go out o…

The memory alone costs about $250 new on Dealram.
He also said "1.4 TB HDD's" which I assume means two of them (and probably 1.5 TB as I've never seen 1.4 TB). Those are over $100…
How to write 400k disks on 90's 68k? — #15
A 128 can read & write to an 800K external drive. A 1.4 drive won't work. When I got my Mac in 1984, one of the first upgrades I made was to stick an 800K mechanism from an…

$1000+ for a dual 2.0GHz model?? You guys must be joking right? I've seen QUAD core models selling under $1000 since BEFORE 10.6 came out. Just this past summer I watched a quad…

1500.00? WOW!!! I didn't think it would be that much... I posted it up on craigslist for 800.00 then lowered it to 600.00 and I got no-shows.
Then I was looking at it and I'm like …
iBook G4 — #27
When you install Leopard on a PPC Mac, does it even install any x86 code? And vice-versa?
I know the Applications folder will have Universal apps, but what about the actual OS guts…

The best native video card you can get for it is the 7800GT 256MB. I believe this was only ever sold as a BTO option on a new dual core G5 so they're quite hard to find.
You can f…
Classic II (my first 68k Mac and it's a compact!) — #12
The two major issues with compacts is capacitors dying and screen burn/focus problems.
I find it odd how Apple went from expandable SE/SE30's to a Classic 2 with no expansion what…

The Classic II is a great little unit. Very sleek looking for a basic box. Very usable for a lot of writing jobs. Adding a newer harddrive will speed things along. When you d…
PB100 & Cap Replacements Gold Mine over on 'fritter ... — #4
Well, I'VE got a PB100 trick up MY SLEEVE too!
It seems, in their infinite idiocy, that Epson left out support for the 68000 when they wrote the drivers for the original Epson Sty…

Washing them? Interesting. When I get it opened I'll take some pictures of the board and caps and let you guys see what they look like.
Yep the casing is in great condition (bar t…

Some of us think washing the little buggers a viable (if temporary) alternative to The Full re-capping Monty, but YMMV.
What version of 7 was on there? 7.0 should be snappy enough…

Urk so that's why I see so much re-capping talk. One more thing to look at when I get it opened then.

One problem I'm noticing is that the speaker will start crackling after a while. Volume goes down lower and eventually you can't even hear the startup chime. Loose wire maybe?

Not to mention putting the 68030 on a 16-bit bus.
I created a 6.0.8L disk set, initialized the hard disk and put on a lean install (Classic II System Software only, no printers) a…

1.) Why is the Classic II second class?
2.) To which Mac is it second class?

Apple Purposley hampered the RAM.
And it is second only to the venerable SE/30…

I got my G5 a few weeks back, but I had to wait for the monitor to clear customs... finally, I have it all put together.
Now I have a dual 2.0 with 2 gigs and a 22" Cinema Display…

That's weird why someone removed the serial number. Anyway, have fun with your second-class Mac.

There was one auction where a G5 went for 1200.00... Not bad...
But I'll keep it...
No reason for me to get rid of a good machine...
I was just wondering and just wanted an opi…

I checked eBay. $1500 would be on the high end of what you could sell it for. $1000 would be the minimum.
Sell it on eBay with those specs and I think you could clear $1200. Craig…

Just arrived in today. I bought it off a guy who advertised it on a board I stalk.
