Office 2008? I thought that needed a G4. Personally, I'd go with 2004 and the add-on to read/write 2008's XML formats. John Click to expand... Nah, Office '08 works on a G3, j…

What Component is causing my iMac G5 to whine? — #1

Alright, so small update: All I've really changed is I've put the battery in as well as the power cable (I only had the PB plugged into the wall without the battery up until now).…

PPC G5 Halts, Panics, Crashes - heat related? — #21

No, not really. The G5 was actually an atrocious chip, even by the day's standards. Even fast P4s were generally better, and that's saying something. I would be willing to bet that…

Very nice!! Bump it to 512MB RAM if it is a Bondi (or if it is the 400MHz Indigo, 1GB) and put on 10.4, get it running Office 2008 and you've got yourself a nice, modern little bea…
