Yes. ATA controllers made before LBA48 was introduced (around 2002) cannot address more than 128 GB of disk space. You can work around this by using a card.

These Macs accept 1GB of RAM and HDDs up to 128GB. Click to expand... Is this really true? Obviously 128GB was huge 10 years ago, but I still don't see any reason for that sort…

I thought about to post the same topic yesterday. These Macs accept 1GB of RAM and HDDs up to 128GB. ZIF CPU upgrades up to 1100 MHZ are available. The 300mhz model is a bit slo…

I tried another ethernet cable and it now works. Strangely the one used previously worked at one time as well.

I love my 5300 and I would be very interested if the price were say $50. Otherwise, mine works fine. I'd mainly be picking it up for extra parts, and everything else it shipped wit…

I have always liked the B&W G3 Machines. I think they had more personality in terms of case coloring than the later Yikes! and Sawtooth machines. For me I have installed a …

I have 2 B&Ws in use, one with a G4-450. Both are very nice machines. I remember looking at them back in early 2001 when I decided to buy a 8500 powermac and beef it up wit…

Well it lacks the fundamental aspect of the hinge down motherboard, which was amazing.

"wow, this is the future of the Mac" Click to expand... And the Pro still has the same basic case design, wow.

Well, Cory, I've had Windows Server 2008 (basically a beefed up Server version of Vista) on a PIII Celeron 600 with 384MB of RAM! Its...not pleasant, but not as bad as you'd ex…

Can you hear the hard drive in your iBook running? Wait, thats a stupid question...

Update. Got OS X Server 10.1 on my Beige G3, and now in ASP, it shows "Target Disk" on the FireWire Bus. However, no disk appears on desktop.

I am trying to remember an old Apple II game I had a long time ago. It was an adventure game, and it took place in a giant city in a tree. People wore these capes they could glide …

I've actually used Vista on a PIII Celeron, 800MHz with 512mb of memory. The easiest way to describe it is that it can happen, but that it's maybe not the most pleasant thing ever…

Or Vista on a PIII

You can drop a G4 in one of these and use Leopard. That's some pretty good longevity. Kind of like Tiger on a 1996-era 7500 with a G3/G4 card.

Just as a heads up, on Jan 5th 1999 was the day the PowerMac G3 blue/white systems were announced. This pertains to the 300, 350 and 400MHz models, although the 450 was really only…

i use to use a Pioneer DVR-110D with a Radeon 7000 PCI in a Beige G3 AIO running OS 9.2.2 with the help of the Apple DVD patch on OS9forever.com and it worked great. in OS X the Ap…

There is one other (and cheaper) way of enabling DVD playback on these machines - I have no idea if it would help with AVI files from the HD though. There's a PC Card (PCMCIA/Card…

The video card doesn't help with playing movies, anyway. It's all CPU and you probably want a G4 for it.

However the CPU is removable and there are (pricey) G4 upgrades available. I'd suggest doing some more searching about playing AVIs on a Mac before you give up.

Thanks!!! I'll give it a try and let you know. I already tried unplugging the battery and that wasn't it.

This may be obvious but maybe I missed something... When you added the RAM, did you take out the processor daughter card (it's got that funky heatsink appendage thing with it) to …

G4s in (most) any form are great machines. I'm still rocking out with a dual 500MHz G4 tower as my main desktop, happily chugging away at Leopard. My main portable is also a PowerB…

My presto plus in the CC worked fine. But as stated I sold My CC on ebay... just too many computers on my desk... I kept my G4 Dual 1.42 and got rid of everything else.. the CC, e…
