Can you hear the hard drive in your iBook running? Wait, thats a stupid question...

Update. Got OS X Server 10.1 on my Beige G3, and now in ASP, it shows "Target Disk" on the FireWire Bus. However, no disk appears on desktop.

I am trying to remember an old Apple II game I had a long time ago. It was an adventure game, and it took place in a giant city in a tree. People wore these capes they could glide …

I've actually used Vista on a PIII Celeron, 800MHz with 512mb of memory. The easiest way to describe it is that it can happen, but that it's maybe not the most pleasant thing ever…

Or Vista on a PIII

You can drop a G4 in one of these and use Leopard. That's some pretty good longevity. Kind of like Tiger on a 1996-era 7500 with a G3/G4 card.

Just as a heads up, on Jan 5th 1999 was the day the PowerMac G3 blue/white systems were announced. This pertains to the 300, 350 and 400MHz models, although the 450 was really only…

i use to use a Pioneer DVR-110D with a Radeon 7000 PCI in a Beige G3 AIO running OS 9.2.2 with the help of the Apple DVD patch on OS9forever.com and it worked great. in OS X the Ap…

There is one other (and cheaper) way of enabling DVD playback on these machines - I have no idea if it would help with AVI files from the HD though. There's a PC Card (PCMCIA/Card…

The video card doesn't help with playing movies, anyway. It's all CPU and you probably want a G4 for it.

However the CPU is removable and there are (pricey) G4 upgrades available. I'd suggest doing some more searching about playing AVIs on a Mac before you give up.

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…

This may be the dumbest question ever, but you can't hook a 2.5" laptop drive onto a 3.5" IDE connection, correct?

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…

Hi, Im going to buy a Wifi card for my PB5300cs, a question of sharing information with a main computer comes up. Anyway my point is, would it be possible to file share between: …
