Scored a working iMac G5 from my employer, but need to recap the power supply and motherboard before I dare to use it much. Got several others which aren't powering up at all, but …

Well on ebay I sold my G5 for 750.00+35.00 shipping.

Can't see why not. It's just a video output card, so it should mount with the appropriate drivers. Cardbus is Cardbus.

Does anyone know for sure whether or not a Road Rocket pcmcia video card will work in a cardbus-enabled 2400c or 3400c? The publicity from the period states only that the card is …

Some info on the Wings card connectors, along with an interesting hack, here. The PCI looking thing is probably the modem slot. It's similar to a Comm slot AFAIK. And yes, the S…

I cracked the thing open and took a look at what was inside. 20 gig hard drive (ide) All three PCI slots are filled, an Ethernet card, a USB card and a FireWire Card. the Sonnet…

Easy way to check for a Sonnet upgrade - if the heatsink is purple, you're golden

Great score on a good machine. I myself am partial to the BeigeG3 Mini-Towers myself. Mine is pretty maxxed out at the moment, although it is sitting in the closet because it got r…

AV panel = Wings Card....possible Sonnet upgrade....DVD drive.....looking good so far! :O Three questions about the DVD drive: - Is it stock or aftermarket? - Does the machine…

Went round to a mate's place today who I haven't seen for a couple of years, and he gave me a beige G3. I haven't had a good look at it yet, haven't even dusted it off, but… It h…

Office 2008? I thought that needed a G4. Personally, I'd go with 2004 and the add-on to read/write 2008's XML formats. John Click to expand... Nah, Office '08 works on a G3, j…

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…

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 …

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. …
