Re: [slim] SlimServer on a older G4 powermac

Re: [slim] SlimServer on a older G4 powermac
I'm running slimserver on a quicksilver g4 and it works marvelously. I will add though that I upgraded the processor from 867 to 1.8 and things work a heck of a lot better. I don't know if I'm in the minority but I feel like the slimserver and it's companion programs like music magic mixer regularly take up a heck of a lot of processing power so the faster the machine the smoother the slimserver experience. -- exile exile's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4579 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36904 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SlimServer on a older G4 powermac
I bought a refurbished Mini from Apple (1.8GHz Core Duo) and it's AWESOME... only $600. You could probaly get a 400MHz G4 for $250-300 but then you'd porbably want to add a processor upgrade. (I have a 400MHz G4 but have put in a single 1.8GHz G4 upgrade into it... it also works as a great server). -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] Eric Seaberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36904 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SlimServer on a older G4 powermac
I bought a mac mini off of craigslist - the prices seem to be a bit better than eBay - though they vary more widely. I've seen several of the older mac minis (G4) go for 3 or 4 hundred dollars on craigslist - for a 1.25 Ghz machine! It is super quiet too. I think that a mac mini would make an ideal slimserver box. I've not used slimserver on the mac mini though - I'd already set up an inexpensive Linux server before I got it... -- kkitts kkitts's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36904 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
