since it is a sawtooth could i put in some other g4 cpu in it like a quicksilver's, or even a duel cpu? Also what are good after market cpu upgrades that are compatible? Click t…

Well, I don't know what CPU's fit... but.. [)] ]'> Lets hope they don't duel!!

Ok it does have agp, I just didnt know if they put agp in and then did some other major changes later on (well obviously the quicksilver), so since it is a sawtooth could i put in …

It has AGP and is therefor a Sawtooth.

If you have two mac laptops, I did this on my recent vacation. take the laptop with the working ethernet, and then have that laptop share internet over Airport. It worked every tim…

Yikes!

2) I did end up doing the firewire target disk thing for transferring the files I wanted to, right now. Worked fine. [...] Click to expand... Why not try booting the iBook off …

Sounds like a Sawtooth.

Ok didn't want to start a new thread so I just changed the topic of this one. I want to identify my G4 Power Mac, and hope you can suggest some cpu upgrades both aftermarket, or wh…

1) I am using a patch cable. I haven't yet looked for a twisted pair in the tangled drawer. 2) I did end up doing the firewire target disk thing for transferring the files I wante…

It's the weirdest thing. Both the iBook and the Lombard are on 10.3.9. I am not using a hub, just connecting the two computers with a cable. This cable works to connect the Lombar…

None of my iBooks have ever had a truly bad Ethernet system, but my original BlueBerry iBook has the little retainer tab broken off of the jack, so I must be certain that the conne…

Failure of the iBook to connect with either of two other Macs that connect happily to each other argues either bad hardware or bad software in the iBook. What OS in the iBook? Ca…

My newly acquired iBook G3 600 seems good in every way, except: I can't network with ethernet. I tried to connect it with the iMac G5, they didn't see each other. My Lombard conne…

Ok I did a upgrade to 10.4 from 10.2, but it didn't seem to like it so I want to try and format and then install 10.4 but it now didn't boot from the DVD drive. What do I do? *Upd…

Tiger has all the drivers for the Radeon 7000 so don't panic, it's not a great card but it is much better then the 128. Your G4 can take a mix of PC100 and 133 and you should have…

Ok I updated to Tiger and now it works fine, I have some questions as a new mac user. Is the PCI Radeon 7000 I popped in fine? I didn't install drivers. Doews Tiger already have go…

Well, I also have a Belkin USB to DB-9 adapter. It was made for PDAs, and only partially seems to work with the mac, but it has lights on it for TX and RX, so it might work better …
