Man I would LOVE to have an iBook G3 Clamshell. I really love the design. Too bad that I can't find any of them except on powerbookguy.com and it does not look too good for being i…

$50 for a 512MB SDRAM SoDIMM is pretty good; I just forked out $60 for 2 x 512MB for my PB Ti, "fastmemoryman" is cheaper but appears to have heaps of negative feedback. I only th…

Is the Radius display any good?

Fantastic ;D

Excellent, it's always great when you get good things for next to nothing!

Nice haul, I still need a 9.1 cd for my legit OS collection. I think you can only upgrade to 8.6 from 8.5, 8.1 is a dead end.

nice one on the OS 8.6 cd! i hate having to upgrade my way frm 8.1 to 8.6 everytime i want to install 8.6.

It's easier just to dig the jumpers out of the block with a pin, I found they came out quite easily. I was changing it to make it accept the B&W's CPU though, personally I …

The beige is easy to overclock. All you need is a jumper block from a faster machine and hope the CPU can handle it.

Ah, I see that you've answered my question here cj. Click to expand... No, I answered it elsewhere (sorry, slow day at work)

Daystar have a G4 for Lombards, but it's $299. Yeowch Click to expand... ... hmmm... $55 rebate if you send your CPU and heatsink back to them afterwards $100 rebate if you …

A 233Mhz G3 seems to be very slow for OSX to me. I would run OS 9.2.2 on it and dig out some old OS 9 Apps for it, the thing would fly. A little more RAM would probably be nice, al…

Any thoughts as to what to do with it now we know the specs? I am leaning more towards parent's computer. Click to expand... Get a little bit more Ram and put Tiger on it - …

if you have the modem in the slot on the personality card, why would you ever need a modem serial port? / My performa 6200 had one Click to expand... Because you might have mor…

Alright, had the chance to boot it. Looks to be a video editor machine. Has a 100mb image of commercials, dunno if they were made by them or not, but the HD is labled "E. D. Jacobs…

Damn! Sorry Bunsen, I wish I'd seen this thread earlier as I have a spare 400MHz Lombard logic board w/DVD decoder that you could have had for next to nothing...

Why do all that work when you can use a PCMCIA card to decode DVDs? Or were you planning to go OSX all the way? I know that won't work on X, just OS9....

Yes, the 8600 has internal video. None of the 6 slot PCI Macs (9500, 9600) have built in video or any A/V functions so those ports are blocked off.

Nope, 9600s don't have internal video. I think the 8600 does, and can confirm that the G3MT definately does.

The Lombard 333 @ 433 was sheer luck; I tried it on a whim as 433 involves a least amount of resistor swappery, and it was always fine. Might as well try it Bunsen, and if not 400…

Yes, there is most likely a port behind it. I suppose apple didn't want people to connect their old external modems and have it conflict with the internal modem, that's what the pr…

so there is a second serial port behind that? I will open her up tomorrow and look. oh, forgot to mention it's the minitower, not the desktop yeah, the modem looked to be on a ca…

Yes, the decoder is a chip on the mobo, but a 400MHz mobo isn't 400Mhz unless you have a 400Mhz processor module for it, and those things are _expensive_ A 333Mhz module on a 400M…
