Bunsen, definately go for 433Mhz in your OC adventures - I've had two now that have gone up to this speed without an issue. If you control + click on a YouTube video you can reduc…

I get two frames a second on youtube, if that's the kind of video you're talking about. Quicktime (.mov .mpeg) video off the hard drive plays fine. Divx and AVI? Fageddaboudit. …

I have the 333 cpu and I think it is running tiger. I cant get it to run a vidio on it worth a bean. I just figured the 8 meg vidio could not handle it. I have tried swaping ram ou…

2 questions 1 i have a 867ghz quicksilver with 10.4.11 and what looks to be a factory apple scsi atto install can i add ide drives "i have several" with the scsi drive or must i …

I've only ever had the fan fire up on both my Pismo and Lombard when I had them sitting on a soft vinyl chair for a couple of hours watching a movie - it was pretty hot after that …

At the moment the 400mhz card has been replaced with a 333mhz card. While it does run a little warm at times depending on what I'm doing so far it has not crashed since the proces…

Well. I just lifted the keyboard on my Lombard to check. Turns out the sound I always thought was the fan, is in fact the hard drive. The fan (next to the air vent on the left h…

Hi Everyone I am new to mac. Just got my hands on a pb g3 lombard and it keeps sutting down do to over heating. I know the fan is not kicking on and I also know the fan works by t…

Thanks to almeath, I could test it for myself. Here is my story: I tried to boot an existing 8.6 installation from my g3 b&w on the g4 sawtooth (it has the onboard firewir…

Funny price - I got one for free. Awful display. Slow. 99% chance the battery is useless.

He said he purchased a few and I guess opened one of them. I don't care for that model so I think the price is a bit steep. Wonder if the battery will even charge after all this ti…

Sealed? Then what laptop is in the picture?

I heard about the exploding batteries but nothing about case quality or anything like that. Mind you I was wondering a little while ago why you never see any 5300s anywhere.

I have a 5300ce got at the thrift store. External scsi devices will not mount on the desktop. I have the right SCSI cable. A hard drive,CD rom nor zip drive will mount. SCSI probe …

I'd take it if they paid me $150. My 5300 suffered from every known problem, it's the only machine I've ever just thrown in the bin.

Very nice, if a bit expensive!!!!

Just in time for Christmas, this 5300 PowerBook never opened, brand new sealed in box. Now you too can experience first hand the cracked cases, broken AC connectors, or spontaneou…

I just burned the os 8.6 disk, put on my g4 ( i have my g4 upgraded to the latest firmware), reboot.. and worked!.. now i going to install it to my HD.

To the 500 Mhz G4 barrier: Thats why the PPC 7450 was used in the 667 and 733 Mhz G4 DA. An interesting note is that the lower price Digital Audio model include a PowerBook CPU c…

I would not be surprised - remember, this stuff was expensive back then, and that wasn't helped one bit by the fact that Motorola was having a lot of trouble putting out fast G4s, …

I'd say you have a Gigabit Ethernet G4/400. And they're not exactly rare - it was the low cost, "no frills" version of the Gigabit G4, for people who couldn't afford/didn't need du…

I finally managed to obtain, from a second-hand dealer, a G4 sawtooth that boots up in 8.6. Yes, it is very fast. [] ]'> To be safe I sent the dealer a copy of my boot CD,…

^^ I was referring to the ring of light (provided by LEDs) on the power plug. Click to expand... Ah, okay. That makes sense.

don't spend a ridiculous amount of money to get the one working; set a cash limit and stick to it. if it doesn't work out, then sell them for parts.

Glad to hear that it worked. After trying more sophisticated methods, I found that this gentle mauling produced better results.
