THE dishwasher. as if everyone has one handy. to some folks, save the environment is more than a feel good bumpersticker to put on their Hummer. a dishwasher uses 40 gallons of hot water (heating requires energy) to clean dishes that could be washed more thoroughly by hand using only 2 gallons of water. and when one includes the pre-wash rinsing with loading and unloading the dishwasher, it doesn't actually save that much time. it's just the illusion of affluence and one more example of the obscenely conspicuous consumption that makes amerika SO popular around the world. and btw, simply soaking the keyboard in a little bit of water for a while, followed by a quick rinse with rubbing alcohol or distilled water (to remove traces of minerals that might be left behind when tap water evaporates) also works just fine. -- 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: Suggested upgrades for a Power Mac G4 PCI Graphics
Since the prices on MDD(Mirrored Drive Door) G4s is almost the same as a quicksilver now, I'd get a MDD. Any stock MDD is already way faster than any maxed out Yikes. If you choose the right one, the stock MDD will blow away virtually any upgraded Quicksilver -- 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.

Hi Dan, Let me know what you have let that known working and your asking price. Depending on what you I might be interested.

Re: Suggested upgrades for a Power Mac G4 PCI Graphics
I didn't mean that a Quicksilver was inordinately slow but right out of the box a MDD has certain advantages that you'll never get no matter how much you upgrade a Quicksilver. 167mhz bus speed, faster RAM and more RAM are just 3 of them. Start with a faster machine and if you feel like upgrading, you'll go even further. Incidentally, my MDD beats that geekbench score by almost 100 points and it's a long way from the fastest MDD out there On Dec 30, 5:00 pm, Alex Barnes kab...@gmail.com wrote: My Quicksilver gets a geekbech score of 1065, on par with the iMac G5. -- 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.
