Very nice!! Bump it to 512MB RAM if it is a Bondi (or if it is the 400MHz Indigo, 1GB) and put on 10.4, get it running Office 2008 and you've got yourself a nice, modern little bea…

problem with most cheap ebay batteries is that they are half the cells, and 1 chunk of led, with false markings on the outside

I got brand new chinese iBook G3 batteries for $36 each in bulk. Just buy a new one off eBay. Pick the absolute cheapest seller who is in the USA and buy that one. No one seller h…

There are amateurs who do try to re-cell LiIon batteries, but the success rate is poor, and what they risk is real and serious injury. As well as potential explosion, with effects …

I have a iBook G3 Snow and I would like to know if I could recell it easily and within $40? If not I might as well just buy a new in package battery off eBay for $40. agg23 Cli…

The 9400, while good for a integrated GPU, is definitely not faster than a card like a X1900. It's roughly the same speed as a dedicated X1600, maybe a little slower than a 7800. …

I did not say that your G5 was not useful, or even that a new Mini is inherently more useful, I just said that benchmarks indicate that unless you need 16gb of ram (and can accept …

I still think the G5 is a bit faster... but that is my opinion.. The unit and all of the parts might be out of date but I works for me.... I still love the PPC platform... And t…

Yeah, because of fast disks and having 16gb of ram. If your G5 had a 2.5-inch 5400rpm disk and only 2gb of ram, the Mini would likely be faster. There's also the whole "real world…

I don't know.. I've got 16GB Ram, ATI Raedon X1900 Vid card... it seems like my G5 is faster....

Not really. 1.6GHz Core1 chips and 1.6GHz Core2 chips (the original mac mini and the original macbook air) outgun the G5s in memory and processor performance. Like, all G5s except …

I believe it was an upgrade. Radeon 9600 IIRC but I can check for sure tomorrow.

Huh interesting! Oh and My "Lets Play a Game" Thread is there :b&w:

Stock video card or 3rd party?

I just installed Leopard on this(fresh install) and ever since, when I scroll on a web page, the area around my mouse pointer moves down the page(its hard to describe, but heres a …

I thought mini's were supposed to be faster? Click to expand... If it's graphics, then no. a 2.3Ghz G5 will win out over a mini. Actually, a 2.3Ghz SHOULD win out over the min…

I recieved the Mini yesterday it is nice for a second Mac. It seems like my G5 is faster...or on par with the mini I installed 10.6 on the mini. the mini is the 2009 model... wi…

Sometimes keyboards just do that. I had a Dell keyboard a few years back, and the b, n, m, comma and space bar all went out at the same time. The day that happened (prior to the cr…

I just got a PowerBook G3 Lombard yesterday, and everything worked fine, but as of today, the Command key no longer works. I tried resetting the PRAM - but it doesn't work, cause t…

I have that same card (or similiar anyhow) and iirc you need to tape pins, but that is only if it would work the sapphire card I had had the cheaper bios chips or w/e and could not…

No, I tried to run xbench but when it was time to upload the results it said the server was not available, I thought it was little snitch but it wasn't

OK, I put the 2.3GHZ on ebay... I don't have enough space on the desk, I put it up for 550.00 and within 2 hrs it was gone.. buy it now. I had immediate payment option, so I looked…

My 2.0 is a dual core, the 2.3 was a dual processor. mine has 16GB ram, the 2.3's max was 8GB. The ram is not interchangable. the 2.3 was pciX, my 2.0 is pciE, I just bought a A…
