They are all the same.

They are not the same. PC microphones will not work on the Mac, reverse is probably also true.

PC Microphones are straightforward analog microphones, usually with minijack plugs. These can be used on a Mac for audio recording, but not for speech recognition, for which you ne…

I am not so sure about that. I recently tried a microphone made for the PC, although it work on the PC, it does not work on the Mac, even for audio recording. Also, I found that …

My magazine has a collection of Macs and PCs. From my experience, they do not work identically. I've used a Mac microphone on a PC, but the sound level was way off. Ditto for using…

Microphone signals need to be amplified for use with a Mac. The PlainTalk microphone, with it's longer plug, is powered by the computer. Other devices that provide a line level s…

A PC mic will not work with a Power Mac (although it will with much older 040 Macs). You can, however, use a PC mic using Griffin's NEMic adapter.

Basically, the Mac's mike jack is not a mike jack, it is a Line In jack, standard 2V P-P. tooki

So, Misha, where can I get one of those Griffin adapters? want to get a headset/mic but don't want to buy Via Voice just to get one... if Griffins's adapter works, I should be able…

Unfortunately I had expected a cheapo PC microphone to 'just work' with it being an analogue device. Interestingly, you can buy an amp that would make it work, but which costs fiv…

ok I really don't know what pci is or if my 6500 has pci slots i want a video card but they all need a pci slot. does anyone know a good voodoo card that is compatible with my comp…

First, PCI is Perephial Component Interconect. And yes, your Powermac 6500 is PCI bassed, and it has 2 short (7' inch) PCI slots. Now I would expect that most Voodoo cards are this…

I've just purchased an imac 333mhz, and I have decided to order 128 mb of Ram to support the intense gaming and graphic work that I do. I've searched around and I've found prices …

There is price variation between vendors. A 128 MB chip costs between $100-200: closer to $100 from chip venders (such as Microtech); closer to $200 from catalog stores. But the …

I bought additional memory for the iMac I bought my folks plus for my G3 using Ram Seeker. Try: http://www.macseek.com/index.shtml and it will pull up a huge list of places on the …

I think some vendors bank (literally) on you not knowing what RAM really costs. For example, I recently bought a bronze 400. At the same time, I bought an extra 128MB of RAM to get…

It is most likely you are seeing regular RAM and low profile RAM.Low profile RAM is the $300+ RAM you see +

I just purchased 128 meg from Memorytogo.com for $119, a little more for fed ex delivery. Works great!

Yes, the Low-Profile RAM is the only RAM you can get to fit into the 2nd Slot... 192MB is the Fastest/most cost efficiect amount of Memory to have in the iMAC. 128MB in the top sl…

There is a difference in memory quality. The memory you buy from catalogs are top of the line premium memory, which is why you can spend so much on them, but you are guarranteed th…

Heh, you might wanna check that math, Macguy - 128+32=160MB :-D It was incredibly easy for me to install my 128MB DIMM... Apple even includes an illustrated guide in the Apple Gui…
