I used to be able to boot from a CD now that won't even work. BTW: I put in a brand new HD with no luck. If this were the DC/DC board, what would the symptoms be? Random failur…

Mybe no help to you, but: You DID get a boot sound normally? My cube doesn't make any noise (speaker-wiese) on startup. I thought since the usb speakers need to be powered and have…

Down temporarily while Carlos moves the site onto an OS X box. Check the iDevGames chat room in iChat in the meanwhile if you have coding Q's.

Thanks! Sounds like a great move. Thanks!

Something wrong with the install cd is what I read on their mailing list. Hopefully soon they will be back up and running!

Should work just fine. I use the same machine.

It should work great. I've been setting up a lab full of those machines, but with smaller hard drives and less RAM, and they do quite well under 10.3.

I was shocked at how well 10.3 performed on my old DP450. Much faster than 10.2, and a much greater difference than 10.1-10.2. Of course, it was being installed from my new G5 DVD

I use ID2 on the DP450 everyday. It runs ok, but you have to remember ID2 can clog up with large documents or quality previews switched on. I have 1GB RAM with this machine and wo…

Just wondering how the dual 450 would stack up against a 733ghz G4 PM?

For stuff like that which is not MP aware you'd BETTER go with a beefier single. A 733 is good but lacks decent cache so I'd say a 733 graphite or 867 qs.

Hmmm, Just got the dual 450... worked out much cheaper in the end. The stuff I'm doing is not that intensive, in fact I used to do it on a G4 400, so I should be OK... Only thing …

The Lite-on LTR-52327S is fully supported for everything in 10.3. I had one, but I sold it and got a Combo drive instead. NewEgg has the LTR-52327S in stock right now for $39 w/ fr…

My combo drive is an LG GCC-4480B. I think it's discontinued, but this particular model is 48x24x48x and is also fully supported in OS X. I got it on eBay.

I have been looking for a decently priced GCC-4480B for quite a while. However, it would appear that the word is out amoungst the Mac geeks that the drive is fully supported under …

I second the vote for the GCC-4480B, I have one in my yikes G4 and it works great under 10.3. I'm looking for a second one to put in a firewire case for my quicksilver... Bummer …
