I vote 9.1 due to it being mac and there is classilla for web surfing. I did try Ubuntu on a Dell but the disk would not load, and Kubuntu worked but it sucked. I really did not …

I've got pix on my camera, but I've misplaced my card reader and USB cable for my camera. And I have no idea how or where to upload them to the 'net anyway As to the model number…

I like Kubuntu on my Clamshell, it gave the iBook new life, albeit being a bit buggered up

Pics or it did not happen Wait which model number? I want to look it up!

Folks, Went to an AUSOM members-only swap meet on the weekend, didn't pick up a much mac stuff, a couple of Pismo CD and DVD drive units, a couple of games, stuff, boxes of stuff,…

My 9500 and 9600 both have Sonnet G4/800 cards and work just fine in 9.2.2. Also have a G3/450 in an 8600/200 that works fine in both 9.1 and 9.2.2.

I tried Ubuntu a couple of times on my iBook and iMac over the years. It's been a while but I think I had video problems with both (the iMac for sure). Kubuntu especially was very …

Cool, I didn't realize that there was an easy install version of ubuntu for PPCs! AFAIKnew, they all required foolin' around waaay more than I wanted to do. Will it run on a 6500/…

Could just be the drivers were not tested in OS 9.2.x and they don't feel like taking returns or testing for that OS.

So the instruction manual from Sonnet says their upgrades only work up to 9.1 but I know there are people here who refuse to accept such things so I have to ask. Have any of you go…

Carbon isn't modern?

given that situation yes

So you just got a beige PCI Mac with no OS installed and you have Mac OS 9.1 and Ubuntu 9.10 for PPC Macs available for a clean install. Given how old 9.1 is and that no modern sof…

You say you didn't notice a difference in Virtual PC. Did VPC claim to be dual-aware? If so, probably what you'd need to do then is test out running two virtual PCs on each the dua…

I don't have a 5300cs but I believe the 190cs has the same screen and I have found the refresh rate is poor for games. The screen is poor for darks and the screen has poor refresh…

Not at all. Way to distracting. I tried playing Spin Doctor on it but I couldn't concentrate due to all the movement.

I take it that it would not be nice to play games on, correct?

I don't like the screen on mine. It looks really "bubbly" (pixels seem to float from the bottom of the screen to the top, like bubbles in a fish tank) and the movement kind of dist…

I don't have a 1400cs and so cannot really answer your question for sure, but I do have a 5300cs. What I can say is that once the screen resolution and colour depth are factored ou…

What are your opinions on the screen of the PowerBook 5300cs? Is it the worst of the worst of passive matrix or is it one of the better ones? Better or worse than 1400cs?

I saw an old review of a prototype G4 upgrade from Daystar that had 2m cache vs 1m cache in the production model and the results weren't impressive. Running about 20 apps and bench…

Your English is fine. Thankyou for the extra information. Dual have 2MB L3 cache per processor.Single have 1MB L3 cahe per processor. Click to expand... I would expect …

I managed to land a gigger, though I'm "still" using my 867MHz G4 for most of my portable OS 9 needs. The 1400, bless its heart, just doesn't have the battery life to take it on th…

I'd love to get my hands on that model. I have always wanted a G4 powerbook even when I did own a iBook. I would like something faster than my upgraded Pismo but alas they are st…

Yeah, I always keep my data and os on separate partitions. It is really useful for if a system screws up or you want to upgrade the os and would prefer to do a clean install.
