For most "normal" modern computing tasks, (web browsing, music, email etc), the 500MHz era G3 iMacs are more than up to the job and will motor along nicely with Tiger and a decent …
I'm looking into buying an iMac G3 (Slot loaded CD/DvD) w/ 500MHz, 256MB (up to 1GB on this model i believe) and Mac OS X 10.4 (tiger i believe) installed. At my work we use Mac Mi…

You need an LS-240 drive to enable 32meg magic. The first-generation (LS-120) superdisk drives will not do this. Plus, you'll need the utilities that shipped with the drives to all…
I think you have that backwards, Bunsen.
So 32MB on a floppy huh? Interesting. I have a few LS-120 disks laying around so that wouldn't be an issue.
So how does one go about f…

I got bored, so I decided to give my Power Mac G4 Quicksilver a little boost. Removed the CPU module and flipped it over.…
^^The CPU and Ram upgrades are not the problem here, as a last resort you may need to beef up the PSU for a high end AGP card but if you stick an old Radon in, their power requirem…

Fiber optics with small nicks in the run works pretty well, having everything lead back to a single LED. There was an iBook one done this way that did, as you mention, tie into the…

I haven't heard that and would doubt it's correct (maybe someone else can correct me here). IIRC the 5200's were 8x AGP so you'd have to tape a couple of the connectors which is h…
to Bunsen: yes it was a Mac version ( but could have been duff )

you could flash a PC 6200 AGP for that thing. a AGP Geforce 6200 (has to be the wang version) would work better then a 7000 PCI or AGP, or you could use a Radeon 9800 Pro in it as …

I just got a Geforce4 MX 64MB AGP Card and Leopard runs great on it! Although there is no Core Image, but who cares?!?!
I am running Leopard on this puppy with a Dual 450MHz CPU,…
