What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #3
If thats US$225, I think you paid a fair price for it. If you ask me, most PowerPC systems are massively overpriced these days, and I suspect that the values of most PowerPC system…

What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #2
5 years ago, in 2004, I purchased a used blue & white G3 with 256 MB of RAM and a 20 GB hard disk with nothing but the standard OS 8.5 system install for a little over $200…
What you you think, was this a good deal or what? — #1
I was looking on craigslist today and saw a PM G5 2.3GHZ 2004 model and the guy wanted 225.00 B/C he said it was shutting down programs by itself, programs not the OS or the hardwa…
Now I cannot install 10.2.8 — #6
The thing about 8 GB is - theoretically you can install onto a single partition 120 GB drive using another Mac, then move it to the target Mac and it will boot. However, the instan…
Now I cannot install 10.2.8 — #5
I think even if you are installing onto the first 8GB, thats not enough - as Mike said, the drive should be partitioned, with the first partition being no bigger than say, 7.7GB. I…
Radeon 9600 in MDD FW800 G4? — #1
I did a search, but I couldn't really find the information I needed.
I don't really know a lot about video cards... bear with me.
I have a Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro Atlantis card …
Now I cannot install 10.2.8 — #4
None of that matters. The OS must be on the first 8 GB, but really it's like 7.45 GB due to conversion issues, so everyone says 7 GB just to be safe. Repartition the drive into "Bo…

but the only thing is that this G3 AIO used to install 10.2 natively... not anymore... and I cannot figure it out...
I was running Xpostfacto with 10.3.9 then I wiped the HDD and …
Now I cannot install 10.2.8 — #2
Don't know why you never saw that message before, but it's true - the beige G3s need to have OS X installed in the first 8GB of the drive.
Re-partition the drive into two partitio…

since doing a cpu upgrade to my powermac G3 AIO.... I was going to sell it but decided to keep it. I formatted the drive, zeroed out all data... installed OS 9.2.2 then went to ins…
iBook G4 — #30
Where can I download it (it looks like it's freeware, all I could find is the OS 8 version from Mac Hut)? It would be useful to strip useless PowerPC code from FAT binaries on my L…

Oh yeah...I've wondered about the same thing myself. I remember back in the mid 1990's I used to use a program called "I Love Native!" to strip useless PowerPC code from FAT binari…

Monolingual.app will remove Intel or PPC code as well as unwanted languages.
From the terminal, ditto will also remove an architecture. For example to thin iTunes:

How much can I get for my G5? — #21
In about 10-15 years time they'll probably be making their own processors and video cards. Take that Hackintosh!

It's like a used car. Someone may replace the engine and all major support parts costing the person 5 grand in parts. But the car's only worth maybe 3 grand. This happens all the t…

You'd be lucky to get $700. Honestly, you're insane to think you'll get more, or the buyer is a sucker. They're almost vintage. You never get your investment back with upgrades, an…

well it isn't vintage yet... it is still a very capable machine and the difference from 2.0GHZ to 2.3 is not much, only 300MHZ anyways... and with 16 gb ram this thing doesn't stut…

What if one person wants to pay $500 and another person offers $1500? Is the machine worth $500 or $1500?

The memory alone costs about $250 new on Dealram.
He also said "1.4 TB HDD's" which I assume means two of them (and probably 1.5 TB as I've never seen 1.4 TB). Those are over $100 …

A system, or any item, is worth however much someone wants to pay for it. If someone pays $1500, then it is worth $1500. If someone would only pay $500, then it is worth $500. It i…
