When you install Leopard on a PPC Mac, does it even install any x86 code? And vice-versa?
I know the Applications folder will have Universal apps, but what about the actual OS guts…

How much can I get for my G5? — #6
The best native video card you can get for it is the 7800GT 256MB. I believe this was only ever sold as a BTO option on a new dual core G5 so they're quite hard to find.
You can f…
Looking at dual 1.8Ghz PowerMac G5 for replacement of G4 — #8
I got my G5 a few weeks back, but I had to wait for the monitor to clear customs... finally, I have it all put together.
Now I have a dual 2.0 with 2 gigs and a 22" Cinema Display…

There was one auction where a G5 went for 1200.00... Not bad...

No reason for me to get rid of a good machine...

Sell it on eBay with those specs and I think you could clear $1200. Craig…

1500.00? WOW!!! I didn't think it would be that much... I posted it up on craigslist for 800.00 then lowered it to 600.00 and I got no-shows.
Then I was looking at it and I'm like…

Well over $1500 $1000 for a setup like that. Snow Leopard depreciated the value somewhat (irrational people who think PPC is worthless now because it can't run Snow Leopard).

it's a Dual core, 2.0GHZ, 16GB ram, 1.4TB HDD's, Nvidia 6600LE Vid card, Pioneer DVD DL?
Where can I find a GOOD pcie Video card (in case I do not sell my G5) better than the Nvid…

Because there is no PowerPC code in Snow Leopard? (well, not much anyway...while there's still some Universal stuff, none of the core OS code is PPC anymore)

I noticed Leopard on there and this got me thinking...
Why doesn't someone write up a script or something that will remove x86 code so as to have our own powerpc Snow Leopard?

I can't imagine the "heat gun" method (which I've tried to some success on an iBook 800 - nut need to do it again) would actually melt the solder on the BGA array, but rather sligh…

Will probably attempt the repair today. I have 2 chances to get this right (2 logic boards) but i'd like to get it right the first time around. Although we don't have the fine tip …

My iBook has the same problem.
I might be tempted to rip it open and re-solder the GPU when I have some time. I've only had it a few weeks before it failed, but during that time I…
