Powerbook G4 VGA not powering up — #9

One other point... Does the PB G4 need a PRAM battery to run? I found a replacement at OWC, but I want to be sure that it needs a good PRAM battery in order to start Click to ex…

Yeah no, VNC isn't good enough, plus it would need to be able to play 30fps. Click to expand... If you need 30fps, then look to the *next generation* of terminal servers, VDI c…

G3 300 MHz Vs. G4 500MHz — #4

G3's in the 450 range are very cheap. I would buy a used g3 1Ghz before I invested the same amount of money into a g4-500. All in all I wouldn't bother with anything over a g3-450…

B&W G3 case fan + PSU fan replacement? — #2

I think it would make more sense to get a new 120mm fan instead, though I've read the B&W G3 uses a 2-pin connector not the normal 3 pin. Click to expand... Two pin con…

I have to say go with a Lombard. I initially had a 400mhz model, but the processor kept overheating so it's now running a 333mhz one instead. 384MB RAM, 60GB hard disk and runs P…

G3 300 MHz Vs. G4 500MHz — #2

Are you using OS X? If so then the G4 500 will spank the G3 round the block and back. Whether it's worth the money or not is up to you.

Tiny correction/clarification: The 3400c (and 2400) are electrically Cardbus compliant already. The only mod needed is in fact mechanical, to allow the differently-keyed Cardbus ca…

G4 Processor Upgrades — #2

Nobody is making G4's anymore (for years now), and I think the fastest of those upgrades are just overlocked G4 CPUs. You would be better off with a newer G4 that had atleast 133Mh…

Only thing I an think of off the top of my head would be to use a DV video camera or some other kind of Firewire video I/O connected to a TV display. If that works.
