Re: AM/FM radio tuner for OS X
I still use it. I just had to download the current software when my G5 went down and I switched to a mini-three days ago. Now am trying to fine tune the scheduler not to include 3 hours each weekend day. I like listening in the AM after work, while doing email and can use iTunes to fast-forward thru the commercials. I do admit to not looking after I received my RS, as it worked pretty much straight out of the box. I've entertained the thought of listening to live radio on the RS to get individual songs, but that seems like a lot work when I can rip a cd in a matter of minutes.

Re: Buying a G5

Re: G5 issues
Sorry to hear about the (forced) downgrade, but having the mentioned underpowered video card in my 1.8 DP, I was curious, when swapping the video card, did you reset your pram also?

Failure to boot
G5 DP1.8 (june 04) Sys 10.5.8 4 gig ram Hanns-G 25 GeForceFX 5200 2TBhd, 700gb hd HP printer Radio shark Since the last download of itunes (10.5.2), whenever I try to reboot the computer, it gets to the Grey screen, starts the spinner, and then turns off. I've restarted in safe mode, and run Applejack, the works. When I reboot, same thing happens. I can start the computer by holding the 'C' key but the sceen comes up chopped, as in 4 panels. Went to Sys Prefs and reset screen and all seems fine, but I'm kinda scared to reboot now. Where should I be looking to discover the problem?

They connect to your Power Mac G4 desktop systems using a single cable which provides 20 watts of sound (10 watts/channel) to the speakers with a frequency range of 70 hertz to 20 kilohertz. Apple Pro Speakers are different from the speakers that came with the Power Mac G4 Cube: While the Apple Pro Speakers look very similar to the Power Mac G4 Cube speakers, the Apple Pro Speakers get their power from the computer and thus require a system with an Apple speaker minijack (like the one that's on the new Power Mac G4). The Power Mac G4 Cube speakers, on the other hand, are USB-powered and are designed to work only with Power Mac G4 Cube systems. Also, the G4 Cube speakers have an external amplifier, whereas the Power Mac G4 has an internal amplifier that supports the Apple Pro Speakers. The analog-based speakers require systems with an Apple speaker minijack. They are not USB-based speakers Jeff Bequettejbeque...@tconl.com

I just recently worked on a PC which was supposed to see 4 gigs, and the owner installed 4 gigs, and it was only seeing 2.5 gigs. Come to find out that the four gigs it was supposed to see was actually only 3 gigs, if you had a 2 gig stick and a 1 gig stick installed, or 2.5 gigs if you installed 2, 2 gig sticks like the owner did. But hey! what's a little false advertising among friends? It should either see the 4 gigs, see more than 4 gigs, or not recognize the RAM sticks. Try overstuffing one slot and let us know what happens. I would be curious to know as well.

Re: Which printer do you like?
As a johnny-come-lately to this discussion, I come down on the HP side with caveats. I currently run two printers, a HP Photosmart 2610 5-in-1 (print/fax/scan/copy/photo and a Canon i860 which was purchased first, to go along with a new digital camera in 04. The HP came home when the better half wanted some copying and fax capability. Little did we know what a journey we embarked on. the Canon is now hooked up to the airport and works flawlessly, as long as it is fed. The HP is now hooked up straight to main computer, dual G5 1.8 (june '04, running 10.4.11). What took almost 6 months to discover was the inability of the 2610 to work its multiple functions on a family computer set up for fast user switching. That is when it came off the Airport and was plugged in directly. Then last time I tried to scan/OCR some data in, hp wanted me to deinstall, reload and reinstall the drivers-EACH EVERY time someone else used the computer.(on the 4 users who wasn't the main guy) That was about 6 months ago and I haven't seen lately if they have upgraded the support/driver. It boils down to failure of my researching the product and the salesman's level of knowledge when I described what I wanted to do. I realize both my printers are aged things now, but until I know things will change for the better that is where I am stuck. Enjoy the quality of both and the ability to print to photo paper.

You can also enable Quartz Extreme with a Radeon card using PCI Extreme 3.1, which will really speed up some graphics operations, I've noticed that scrolling large files such as large iTunes libraries is dramatically faster with Quartz Extreme enabled. where can you buy a video card for an old beige G3? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Which OS X on eMac 700
I have one I run on 10.3.9 and it works fine- just noticeably slower than the june 05 dual g5 running 10.4. no portable dvd player to load from also slowed me down too. The 10.3.9 was the last I've found only on CD's.

Should I go for 10.5 or stick with 10.4? It only has a 32mb Nvidia card which means some features of 10.5 will not work anyway. Any thoughts?
