Hmmmm I might  drop it down a slot in that case and try again. I was getting a fair bit of wierdness all round after I put it in so that is likely the answer... the more you know!

I do actually have one of these floating around somewhere in one of my stacks, might actually do just that!

I stuck mine in a G3 desktop.

Hmmmm that's what I was thinking, that it might be actually logic board related rather than the Targa card itself. I might actually bring the 7600 over later today and throw in the…

For some reason I'm recalling some other issue on some of these boards that caused slot problems. Each pair of three has its own controller.

So I booted up the 9600 this evening and it froze before the icons appeared on the desktop, which I discovered  after I turned back around to open up Classilla and check something …

I'm very much a fan of the 5400 and even moreso the 5500... There was a lot of machine in them for the money, with a decent video controller as well, and they were actually decentl…

^----  i agree the 5400 is a good machine, its like they finally did it right.

I love the 5400s.

According to Mactracker, the 5400 needs 70ns dimms, and the 5500 needs EDO.  That may be the source of the confusion. Or maybe the overlap in speeds: Mactracker says the 5400 goes …

I would assume that if you put faster RAM in, it will just run at the slower speed if that is all the machine can handle.  But when I used to service PCs, there were always some ma…

I think that with RAM speeds, unless you go too fast, you can go faster (but not slower) than the recommended. In fact, it'll make your system faster. Go ahead with 60ns 168-pin DI…

So I'm trying to clear up some confusion. According to Low End Mac, EveryMac, and just about every other site I can find, this machine needs 70ns 168-pin DIMMs. However, every we…

It's not a lot, 530 vs 490. Probably is a thermal issue.

If you ever want to sell it, let me know

No you're right it's right there Plainview must be the freaking lead fumes On my end.

Actually, P86 is apparently the eMac's name. This FCC testing document for the Airport Extreme has pictures of the eMac but says "P86" or "P86 EMAC". { "lightbox_close": "…

I don't know, but the 1GHz iMac G4 benchmarks slower than the 1GHz eMac, despite the iMac using DDR and the eMac PC133. And I wasn't saying it's a fake or anything, just that you …

There also appears to be, what looks like, another little port...it's black... about an inch below the white port in that first picture... that's not on production models.

That looks like it's for an APX card adapter.
