the reason the intro played well is because of what the encoding is. I have installed tiger on a 300MHz mac and the ntro bid plays well. If you can figure out the encoded format le…

Okay, so as you may know, I've upgraded this bugger a bit. Here's its specs now: G3/500, 512 megs RAM, 30 gig HDD, OS X 10.4.11 It's a very happy machine, except for one thing; i…

:-x We are talking about a Sawtooth G4? That is NewWorld.. I have OpenSuSE 10.1 installed on mine. Works like a charm.. all internal hardware I have is supported.

I know Ubuntu won't boot from the CD on Old World ROM machines. You need to install a bootloader and OS 9 Click to expand... That's with any GNU/Linux distribution on PowerPC.…

I had Dapper Drake on my iBook for a while, gave up on it because I could not get used to it.

I seem to be having a hell of a time installing Linux on this. Ubuntu/Gentoo/YellowDogLinux/Whatever won't boot, and OpenSUSE boots, but won't install (Exits out of the installer …

you sir must a be masochist otherwise

http://software.opensuse.org/ Look for OpenSuSE 11 for PowerPC. [8D]

haha, nah. This is the most it will go to. As much as I would like to take it further, I understand that the limitation with most of the early G4 CPUs is a 50Mhz speed bump. I don…

Woohoo! she is now cruising at a beautiful 500Mhz!!! And it's damn stable too! I have been running a few CPU heavy tasks at once over the last 20 minutes and it's with nary a hiccu…

Should work just fine - but I wouldn't count on any of the claimed performance benefits for this particular pair of modules making any actual real-world difference - RAM overheatin…

As long as it's the lower density stuff with chips on both sides it should work. Sometimes high density works but I've never had great luck with it in those machines.

If you're comfortable with the soldering, 50Mhz x 2 will help. It's likely that's all you'll get - most early G4 CPUs you could only get another 50Mhz before it crapped out. JB

I have a dual 450Mhz Sawtooth with a Uni-North Rev. 7 and 1GB RAM. I am wondering that if I bumped it to 500Mhz or 550, would it matter? Would I see a performance increase? I wa…

Yeah, I would stick with Tiger on anything slower than a 1GHz G4 - and even then I'd prefer a DP G4, plenty of RAM, and a decent video card. M

For future reference, if your discs just keep ejecting rather than starting up, try disconnecting the keyboard. I was using a PC keyboard which kept ejecting the drive on boot for…

Ah, that would be my bad. You can hook one of the older Apple monitors up to that port I think, but don't quote me on that.
