I am a none Mac user so I want attempt to address the technical issues. But I am something of a Mac fan all the same and I watched the rise and fall of the cube. I read a lot of …

The CompUSA up the road from me has two 450mhz cubes still. I want a cube, but they're still asking $1399 for them, and I've seen em much cheaper online. I also want the dvd mode…

I've seen them go for around $900 on eBay (450Mhz / DVD). Not much of a performance diff between 450Mhz and 500Mhz though. A more noticeable boost will be from the graphics card …

I was thinking of buying myself a shiny new graphte G4 and was wondering if the product is worth it and if so which configuration is best? Thanks.

Which configuration is best? The fastest; Sawtooth. But you can always build your own at the Apple Store. If done right you can get a great machine for a good price. Try playing …

J-DOG; thats a pretty subjective question, but it really depends on what you want the system for....If you are into graphic design, desktop publishing, illustrating and/or serious …

Now that all configs run on the same boards, the answer to your question depends on your needs. Personally, I thin kyou should get the fastest machine you can afford.

I was setting up my uncle's new stock G4/450 this weekend and noticed some differences between his and my BTO 400, both shipped after the re-configure with Rage 128 Pros. His DVD-R…

ok, i wondering if anyone with a g4 sawtooth is having any trouble running word98. i have a 450 MHz g4 with 128MB ram, virtual mem off. now while running word i get error just doin…

No, I'm running Word 98 on the same system that you apparently have (450 sawtooth/ 128 RAM), and I haven't had any unusual problems with it. I'm running OS 8.6, as it was when it …

actually i'm running os9 with my g4. so that means it has something to do with os9 and word98. i'll try something. thanks.

Have you checked the available patches? Check out the Microsoft "Mactopia" pages, because I *think* that there was a note about Office 98 and OS 9, and there is a patch to fix kno…

thanks i had office98 updated a while ago but i had vir mem on because i couldn't afford any errors like that. but now that i have checked i think the patch really did solve the pr…

Hi, I know this has been covered in the past. My G4 (466 digital audio with 640 MB Ram and two hd) has a constant subtle noise which sounds like the sound an hard drive does when…

Anyone ? Please ... Alessandro

I had a problem where a "buzz" sound would appear at regular intervals; not sure if it's the same thing you're getting. My problem came from the mass of wires coming down verticall…

Yeah, sounds like some sort of vibration whine to me

Does your graphics card have a fan on it? Mine does and it makes just the sort of cyclical noise that you mention. You can open the machine while it's running and put your finger …
