It'd be nice if we can see pictures of the back and slots.

CelGen said: What does the back look like? Is it properly designed for the board or completely hackintosh'd? Click to expand... The back is a classic Power Mac G5, but wi…

I remember at one point reading what OS X version officially depreciated these machines; it was quite an old version (The retail version of Leopard?), so while it might be "fun" to…

I think if you really want to push it, you can put 10.6 on it (provided you appropriately patch it), but you'll likely need a modernish GPU to get it working!

Yes, but those are niche crazy hacked up boards for crazy people. Apple very likely just adapted a reference Intel one, but from the look of it, just put their branding and serial …

Likely a 915 chipset then. Just because it only has DDR doesn't rule out Core2 though, ASRock still sells boards with the older 865G(!) that can take Core2Duo chips.

It says DDR RAM, and the timeframe is 2005 (and probably earlier. Much earlier, if the Marklar history is anything to go back) so I'm leaning towards an early 9xx chipset. Sorry ki…

Likely a Socket 775 based machine with PCIe. Wonder if a Pentium D or even a Conroe 65nm Core2 will work in these. The latter depends on the chipset, if its a 915/925/955, its stuc…

Is that CPU socketed ? If it is I wonder if the CPU can be upgraded.

Man that's cool. I was working for Apple when the Intel transition was announced (totally upended my business for a while!), and I *really* wanted one of these - I knew they'd be a…

The ADP2,1 gets me - is there a first revision?

What does the back look like? Is it properly designed for the board or completely hackintosh'd?

It would be interesting to see one of these hackintoshed. I don't know if I've ever seen it, and this is maybe the third or fourth to roll around on the site. In part because they…

I have the DVD to reinstall it

I dont know if I'd mess with it. Definitely swap hard drives to save that current install.

I have found a nice "Power Mac" : there is a Pentium 4 inside, and a BIOS.   It's a Developer Transition Kit from 2005, the first officiel Intel Mac, with Mac OS X 10.4.1.   {…

I am posting this from my recently conquered and initially troublesome, but now operational 9600/200MP which I received as some of you might recall from a member a couple of hundre…

Let me know if you need a mainboard, I have a ROM 1 I'd be willing to give you for the cost of gas/postage/packing

Hello all, This is an update on recent events. A few days ago the MLA's database was corrupted due to a non-graceful shutdown at the hosting provider. I restored from a previous 2…

Now the G5 has a head again... those underlid shots. This thing is spotlessly clean inside! Next one to test will be the IIsi... allegedly has PSU issues. As for the 9600, no …

I have my Performa 475 hooked up to the vga port on my HDTV (using a vga adapter and a vga cable), the HDTV complains a little (complaining about resolution mismatch) when it first…

Well I have another confirmed runner to add to this thread... the IIvx I scored as part of my Canberra haul finally got plugged in and fired straight up with a clean install of 7.5…

Cheers for the infor guys! Yes I must admit I am loving this whole SYstem 7 on an LCD experience... beautiful! This 1501 was chucked in with my current G5 when I bought it and …

So, would this translate to new motherboard time then?

Basically any Dell UltraSharp is a great choice, they tend to pretty much take any input.
