SATA vs. PCI-X for SSD, PowerMac G5 dual CPU, OS X 10.4
Is there such a thing as a PCI-X card with onboard SSD? Would that be preferable or not vs. SATA in my G5 dual cpu? Any reason to avoid SSD for my configuration? -- -- 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.

Mac-on-Linux
Are any of you familiar at all with Mac-on-Linux? I've been trying to get it going under a very recent Ubuntu release I've installed on my G5's 2nd hard drive but can't get past a couple of problems. Still it looks like I'm close to getting an OS X install DVD to boot. I've tried the project mailing list but it looks like it's been inactive for years. -- -- 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: I want to set up my G5 to run Linux
The newest info I found at lowendmac.com was from 2012.

I want to set up my G5 to run Linux
I've looked around a little on the Web for how to set up a PowerMac G5 with Linux, but could use suggestions/advice--*NOT* mere pointers to information sources--and maybe a small amount of help by Email or phone (within the USA). (I'm a long-time Mac user and know a little about Linux too, so I shouldn't need much help by email or phone.)

Re: Strange fan issue with G5 + Leopard
I have an occasional problem similar to those mentioned above. My G52 2.3 GHz Dual Processor (early 2003 if I remember correctly) fan speeds sometimes make no sense at all. The ambient temperature is generally at around 70 degrees F. or a degree or two cooler in the winter (as now). I can be browsing the web, moving local files around, building C code, etc., and the fans generally run at a pretty low speed. Now and then, though,--sometimes when the system is just idling along--the fan speeds increase dramatically. Sometimes the system even *hangs up*, with the fans running at full speed, and I have to hit the power button. This does not happen often but it sure bugs me when it does. What happens if I leave my machine running while I'm away from home, and the fans go to full speed for several days? Do the fans bur out? Would the system overheat? Who knows? So I just never leave the system fully up when I'm away. (I leave it in Sleep mode so that the fans don't run at all.) -- 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: G5 Wakes up Screaming
I'm having a problem that sounds pretty similar. Occasionally while sleeping, my G5's fan(s) (I can't tell from outside which ones) start screaming away at full speed. When this happens, though, the system is also (apparently) still sleeping but won't wake up. Nothing goes into any of the log files after this point, which appears to confirm that the system is indeed frozen. However I don't have an AirPort network--just 10BaseT. I do see some network events in the log files but haven't tried yet to correlate them with the fan issue. Have you learned any more about your problem yet? -- 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.

nVidia Geforce 6200 vs Radeon 9600 Pro 64 MB
I have a G5 2.0 GHz dual processor PCI-X tower running 10.5.8 that currently has the stock AGP 8x Radeon 9600 Pro MB video. I also have a 8x AGP nVidia 6200 (don't recall RAM size) flashed for Mac.Is there a clear-cut reason to prefer one of these AGP cards over the other, for use in this G5? Perhaps someone can compare/contrast them for me? Also, would the Radeon card work in A 1.2GHz "Digital Audio" G4's AGP slot? -- 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.
