Thanks!!! I'll give it a try and let you know. I already tried unplugging the battery and that wasn't it.

This may be obvious but maybe I missed something... When you added the RAM, did you take out the processor daughter card (it's got that funky heatsink appendage thing with it) to …

G4s in (most) any form are great machines. I'm still rocking out with a dual 500MHz G4 tower as my main desktop, happily chugging away at Leopard. My main portable is also a PowerB…

My presto plus in the CC worked fine. But as stated I sold My CC on ebay... just too many computers on my desk... I kept my G4 Dual 1.42 and got rid of everything else.. the CC, e…

snowbook's aren't as bad as clamshells.

I wish I could avoid taking the thing apart. iBooks are the worst machines to take apart. I would take it to the Apple Store, but I have a feeling they'd charge a pretty penny, sin…

This may be the dumbest question ever, but you can't hook a 2.5" laptop drive onto a 3.5" IDE connection, correct? Click to expand... There's never a stupid question.... But n…

Nope, video card is built into the logic board.

yep its a prismo. OK so no hope on playing videos with better frame rates. Is there anyway to swap out the video card for a better one? like one from a G4?

I use my QS 1ghz DP as a webserver, but before I got my Mac pro I used it daily - it was plenty capable in leopard!

Speaking of Photoshop... I don't think that would be a problem, even CS4 should be able to run fairly well if my experiences with it on Windows machines translate over (I'm runnin…

^^does it have the LC040 or the full 040 with FPU. I'd stick it in the CC, the speed boost and extra RAM will make it a sweet little machine. As for the OP's question, the 9700 i…

Thank you very much for the reply, it cleared a few things up for me. Still how would I be able to play the midi drum set in real time? Just like a real drum set? Through a compu…

AVI is hard. You really want a G4 for that IMHO.

So if I have it right, I plug the drum pads into the MIDI drum controler then into the mac serial interface and then into powerbook. I load an old version of cubase Click to ex…

Actually, if its a 500, and reads a gig of RAM, it sounds like its a Pismo. Look under the display...does it say "Macintosh PowerBook G3" or just "PowerBook"? If it says, "Macintos…

The 9700 Pro was a great card for the PC, should be great for a mac too. What do you think of that Presto Plus in the Color classic? I have a Presto plus in a LC 550 and was wonde…

What does everyone think of a Radeon 9700 Pro? Any good? I Bought one on ebay the other day.

You'll need OMS...thats when the fun REALLY begins!

If there are no drivers and the Mac doesn't recognize it at all, then unfortunately the only workaround will be to find a different wireless adapter. One that I use with a lot of s…

I bet the hard drive failed first and that's what caused the lock-up.

Yikes - All this because of a lock-up. :O

And I thought that Silverlining 6.5.8 (with FireWire firmware update) was the latest and last for 9.2.2. However, the news that 6.5.9 gives you is the most chilling that can be re…
