Hmm well. If the memory used by the processes is not what's draining your memory usage... you know that almost all free memory is normally eaten up by UNIX systems for the file sy…

That's the thing, the process with the biggest RAM usage is like 40-60mb (Kernel), with a bunch of smaller ones below it. It's like lots of tiny processes are starting but I can't…

My Sawtooth (500mhz, 1.75gb, 10.5.4) never has free RAM. Let me explain. It is running Leopard, apache, mysql, and TorrentFlux (Python). When I first boot the machine, 1.5GB of …

Yeah it can with new hinges from places like powerbookguy.com. Good luck on the Pismo.

I ve bought a Pismo (500 mhz) on eBay, and it was sold broken. At home I unplugged the pram battery, and then it booted fine. The Pismo is in great condition. But the screen is s…

This Q is quite FA around here. Perhaps we need a FAQ page. My short answer is go to xlr8yourmac.com under articles->systems->g4 from their front page navigation ba…

The Quicksilver uses a 133mhz bus, the Sawtooth only uses a 100mhz one. The Quicksilver 800 CPU would have a multiplier of 6, so it would only run at 600mhz on a Sawtooth, if it wo…

There is a hack somewhere on macmod.com. It's for a tiBook I think but it should work for yours too. I think he used Fiber Optic.

I did the hack and now OS X KP's at startup.

Hey, I have been wanting to do a hack to backlight my lobmard keyboard. I was thinking I should use some light string, but I dont know how I should power it. I was thinking maybe …

I pulled a PCI radeon 7000 32mb out of a beige g3 to put in my sawtooth, it still would be better than the stock rage 128 pro AGP right?

I have the same question and for the same reasons, but mine is 400mhz.

Yes it will, I have the 100GB version in my PowerBook Pismo(was in my dual USB), it works fine.

will this harddrive work with my g3 ibook dual usb Fujitsu MHV2040AH

Dug out a crossover cable, successful connection. Strange because both machines should not need it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2274?viewlocale=en_US So I guess I don't need an…

Thanks for the link -- I guess what I'm really asking is: Can I put this http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-PowerMac-G4-Quicksilver-800-MHz-processor-HS_W0QQitemZ190244586323QQcmdZViewIte…

the main problem you have with a sawtooth and dual CPUs is that most of the boards don't support Dual CPUs. If you have a revision newer than Rev 3, you can do it. I am hoping th…

I'm possibly interested in upgrading the CPU in my Sawtooth (500mhz now). I don't want to buy one of the 3rd party upgrade cards -- I'd prefer to buy a stock CPU that was pulled w…

Make sure it is not less than 75%. Go for 90% to 99%. Make sure the percentage is listed on the bottle because they will try to sell ya the weak crap if they can. The higher the …

Thank you all for your suggestions. I have removed and reseated the ROM card to no avail. I hadn't thought of the alcohol. I will give that a shot. Is anyone here good with a mult…

A good spraying of freon could be helpful in removing any remaining tomato residue and all the dried up conductive minerals left behind from the water and possible residual toothpa…

since it is a sawtooth could i put in some other g4 cpu in it like a quicksilver's, or even a duel cpu? Also what are good after market cpu upgrades that are compatible? Click t…

Well, I don't know what CPU's fit... but.. [)] ]'> Lets hope they don't duel!!
