Re: Mini G4 10.4.11 & ViewSonic monitor resolution
I have read complaints about repeated messages in several of the Mac discussions, and 5 seems to be the "magic number." People have been blaming each other for this matter, but it's obviously not one or two people playing around. My personal take on it is that it's a Google bug. In my case, I opted out of emails and just check these forums online, so I have not experienced it, but even so Google Groups has become to buggy that it has made Firefox and Opera very unstable to the point of being unusable. I had to return to Safari, which was never my favorite browser but has proved to be rock solid.

eSATA transfer speed
Hi All I recently installed a SeriTek 1V4 in my PM G4 and PM G5 the transfer speed is 88 sec's per GB on a 114 GB CCC. I was under the impression it would a lot faster than this I seem to remember a 3 GB per min claim. Is it possible I'm doing something wrong? Both HDD's are 2TB 7200 RPM Hitahci's in the PM G5.

Translates out to roughly 300MB/s. The fastest hard drives on the market are only capable of reading at around 80MB/s and writing at around 65MB/s sustained transfer. When you're running CCC, you're also having the processor get involved reading, checking, and verifying permissions and metadata on every single file copied and parsed. If you have a bunch of little files, it'll take MUCH longer than when you're running large single files like DVD ISO's or large movies. That said, I've always found Hitachi drives to be much slower than other brands on the market, so you're likely in the ballpark of what your system is capable of doing with the hardware you have installed. The 1V4 you have is also the 1.5Gb/s version, limited to a maximum controller throughput of 150MB/s theoretical maximum. If you've got both drives attached to the same card, you can insert a bunch of hardware interrupts, etc, and you can see how it'll slow down. SATA isn't magic. It's still bound by the abilities of the hardware connected to it. All current SATA drives have the SATAII interface which is capable of 3.0Gb/s (not to be confused with GB/s) yet we still have yet to see a drive capable of outperforming the original SATA interface. Just be patient, it'll go as fast as it's capable of going! -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Based on your experience, it doesn't seem to make sense to try a straight DVI connection. I'm not sure I understand. If the cable you have is a DVI-D cable, then by all means use it directly from the DVI port on the Mini to the DVI port on the monitor without the VGA adapter at the monitor. If the cable is a VGA cable, and you have a DVI-to-VGA at the Mini, then you're stuck unless you buy a DVI cable, which should give a slightly crisper image on the monitor, as well as different sets of resolution/refresh rates. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: eSATA transfer speed
That doesn't seem right. On my Mac Mini I can get 18/19 MB per second (~1.1 GB per minute) copying from one SATA drive in a USB enclosure to another SATA drive in a USB enclosure and almost 35MB per second (~2.1 GB per minute) copying from said external to the 5400RMP internal.

Copied below are replies from FirmTek support about their SeriTek line of SATA I controllers, which would seem to support SATA II speeds in almost all circumstances where such speed is available: Kris Tilford asked FirmTek Support: Does Firmtek make a SATA II 3.0 Gbps PCI-X card with 2 internal and 2 external ports that boots in a G5 PPC PowerMac? I own a SeriTek/1VE2+2 which is SATA I 1.5 Gbps and have been happy with it. I'd like to upgrade to SATA II if possible? Michael from FirmTek Support replied: Your existing SeriTek/1VE2+2 will work with both SATA I and SATA II HDs. The only reason this card is not classified as a SATA II controller is that it does not support a seldom-used Serial ATA feature called SSC which is turned off by default on all currently selling HD models. Kris Tilford responded: If the SeriTek/1VE2+2 was truly SATA II rather than SATA I, wouldn't I see an increase going from SATA I to SATA II? Michael from FirmTek Support replied: No, That is not the case. If you read SATA II specs it may mislead you. The hard drive performance is the sole determining factor for performance. No single hard drive can provide high enough performance to show the difference between a SATA I and a SATA II interface. To see the difference a 3-4 drive striped RAID set is required which can provide 300MB/sec performance. With a 4-drive RAID set a slow SATA I controller will be limited to 150MB/sec performance. The 2+2 card will provide SATA II 250-300MB/sec performance with four disks in a RAID 0. The bottom line is the card you have will provide SATA II performance. However, SSC will need to be disabled. (Which is the case with all new hard disks,) The SATA I versus SATA II feature does not allow a HD to go faster because it is limited to 60-100MB/sec depending on the HD model. However, it will allow a 4- disk RAID 0 to perform faster. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Digital Audio Processor Swap
Hey all, I have read through some of the older threads for info, but could not find anything quite like this so here goes: I have a G4 digital audio 466mhz system that I would like to do some upgrades to, but nothing extreme. I want to start out by speeding it up a little, so I bought a used processor out of a 733mhz Quicksilver system. A friend of mine told me it "Could be made to work" so, I bought it. Now, I didn't get the heatsink and fan with it. So can the old 466 cooler be modded with a fan to work? Or, will I have to keep looking for the QS 733 goods. At present there aren't any on e-bay. I can still run the Mac as it is and wait if I have to, and I have not test fitted or altered anything yet. I am putting this machine together on the cheap just to have something to mess with, but at the same time I don't want to damage anything by overheating it out of stupidity either. LOL I am going to be doing some other upgrades later, but wanted to get a faster processor first.
