Yeah I agree. I have decided quite easily to make this now my main desktop machine and as you can see, cleared the desk for it. I am quite impressed just how easy it is to make thi…

Well, it kinda depends on if you want to run Classic, or just OSX as a "modern" computer.

So its not worth installing 10.5.x on a G5?

Well, since the newest G5s (including the Quads) were released well before Leopard was released, contemporary versions of Tiger ought to work, and indeed, EveryMac says that they s…

Yes - I did find that out last night as well. My G5 came with 10.5.8 installed.

Yes you can but the only supported version of 10.4 on a G5 (at least quad core) is 10.4.11. Anything else crashes and creates panics. Don't waste your Saturday like I did trying to…

Looks like this one? Got that in an SE/30 a little while ago.

Whoops, it would appear it was in the thread title. I searched on the Internet for the card and perused through the manual and couldn't figure out anything special about other than…

Congrats! Nice find and nice price.

I conquested an Asante MacCon during my "forced absence" by the mods, so it's a not very recent. I managed to score it for only $85 as opposed to the close to $200 that they normal…
