The later 604EV with full 1MB cache on the cpu card should give a g3 a good run for its money. I would think photoshop is limited by CPU cache along with bus speed bottlenecks.

I personally wouldn't pay more than $50 for a clamshell $100 if it's a 466. Otherwise I'd get a pismo. Just my .02.

A local pawn shop has an iBook G3 laptop for $150, looks great, runs fine. Was wondering what the value of one these would be, is this anywhere near a decent deal on one? I don't t…

xpostfacto removes the 8gb limit if the drives larger then 8gb. if you was to try to install OS X (testing using 10.2) on the 120gb hdd without xpostfacto it will not allow you to …

Yeah, the lighting made it tricky to see, next time just put on a desk lamp. Though great video!

yeah, I was using the camera on my PSP, and I remember it telling me it ran out of space. If I had a bigger memory card, I would be able to do a longer version. As for the games, …

Pretty cool, though the video cuts off early. Does the game server allow you to add your own games or is the list fixed?

Here's a little Photoshop comparison from BareFeats http://www.barefeats.com/Photo.html The single G3 300 easily beats even the dual 604e 200.

I finally got this working!! For anyone who is curious as to what it looks like, I made a video of it on youtube. It's running on my Platinum //e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X…

Thanks a bunch Wally! :-* Still running nicely and still plugged in (I'm on the G5 at the moment). I installed Word and Power Point on it. You Tube runs slow. The price for the …

Ah, yes, this helps. I definitely have a 100 model because of the sticker under the battery holder. Who would have thought it would be so hard to tell apart? Anyway thanks. Pro…

Even another 64MB or so of RAM will certainly help pick up the pace, and I second the call for maxing out the video RAM. OS 9.0.4 should be upgraded forthwith to 9.1, through the …

Wooo! Another one saved!

Something I found googling around: http://normalkid.com/collector/100.html Hope it helps, Rick

My OMP has FCC I.D BCGH1000 Model Number H1000 and copyright of 1993 Mine was officially an Apple Service part and not retail, it came with NOS 1.11 I do not know about the 100…

ahh yea the pill battery. i totally forgot the models under the MP 2000 had them.

Wally is right! It is the battery! It is working (I left it plugged in for the afternoon and will be plugged in for the rest of the time). I hope it'll still work in the morning. I…

At a guess, based on the many Sonnet processor upgrade cards that I have, both ZIF and PDS, yours will have at least 512kB of L2 cache, and very possibly 1MB. Sonnet is always mor…

Also try testing the internal backup battery (silver disk). If you had dead AA batteries and were running on backup for a while you may have drained that as well.

This thread has resonances with the battle by beachycove to get a PB 500 series with a recelled battery to accept its new lease of life. I agree with wally's recommendation that r…

Depends on the G3 you purchased and how much cache it has (512K or 1MB). To get a faster system you need more RAM, an ATA/66 IDE card or a fast wide SCSI card and some decent HDs. …

Could be, but give it a chance to heal (recharge). I was sure the PRAM battery was hosed on the PBG3 Firewire I just bought, but then I pulled the dead main battery to do some sur…

Given more RAM, to at least 256MB, preferably matched and paired (interleaved), and an upgrade to at least OS 9.1, or 9.2.2 with OS9Helper, much better. 'Better' however, depends …
