My gigabit does this. Make sure your video card is fully seated, it sometimes comes loosened on one end or the other when you open the case a few times.

I'm fixing a G4 MDD Powermac and it has this annoying problem. This computer will chime on startup and will make some hard drive noises it will not display any video on the DVI or …

If i had a decent amount of G4's of the same speed, I would actually buy Pooch and run my very own parallel computing center.

You know, over the last couple of months I've been watching the price of G4 Macs come way down Picking up a dual G4 at 800MHz or faster is now actually affordable. The real que…

You know, over the last couple of months I've been watching the price of G4 Macs come way down. It's been really very impressive to see an MDD that a few months ago would have sol…
