Re: Trying to work out some bugs with os 10.3 server
I have two 128 and one 256 of pc133 (I swear it makes a diff. EVEN ON 100 MHz bus g4s), so I'll send u the 512mb for $35 with insurance. Also have an unused copy of 10.5.4 server unlimited because apple accidentally sent me two copies. Contact me at nylahotti...@aim.com or IM me when I'm online. Leopard Server works great on my gigabit dual 500 with a gig of ram and geforce 6200/256mb which is fully core image accerated. It's nowhere near sluggish. Definitely usable. TTYS.

I was able to find different manuals online. look on ebay for documentation.-Jonas It is unwise to publicly announce that you're using pirated software, especially $1000 pirated software, especially since it's easy to get a 10-user copy of 10.3 or 10.4 (more than sufficient to learn with) for a song, legally. I've seen it go for $50-$75 many times. Would completely agree here.. Just don't know if U I can really run 10.4 on this G4/400/512. Unless I can find some PC/100 256 or 512 chips this is where it's going to stay. Tried some PC/133 and it was unstable if it even booted at all..

Re: Can I put an 8X AGP video card in a 4X MDD?
The 6200 works PERFECTLY with my G4 Cube (which on this list is between the GigaEnet and the DigAudio as I have 10/100/1000 and it originally came with), Core Image SUPORTED IN HARDWARE, NOT IN SOFTWARE. Also have 1.5 GB of PC133 in there and TWO 1.6 74447A G4s in there...faster than either my MDD 1.42 Dual G4 or my sons' mac mini intel core 2 duo machine. its actually scary, especially using my Pinnacle Video Capture for Mac device; I found a way to use USB 2 by removing the original AirPort Card and modifing a USB 2 CardBus card into the slot, then routing the ports out and making one port dedicated and the other connected to a pretty 7-port hub. Anyways, the point here is that the Pinnacle connected to the Cube is faster and smoother at 480p res (FULL 480p, as in S-Video, not composite) than it is connected to the mac mini core 2 duo (TWO duo). The best GPU for 2x-4x AGP Macs is the NVIDIA GeForce 6200 (256 RAM). I can't think of a single sore-point to this card running under Mac OS X 10.4-up. My GigEnet 500x2 FLIES with Leopard with that card (Core Image Hardware, remember) and 1 gig of RAM. BTW unfortunately my Cube is no more; had to e-bay it (crying), along with my much modded mac mini's next week (really crying) Joey.

See this chart to select a card that will work:http://themacelite.wikidot.com/compatibility I highly recommend the GeForce 7800 GS/256 MB, one of the best AGP cards. PC versions go for around $50 if you have the ability to flash the card yourself; otherwise you'll end up paying up to $300. Any 8x video card will need to have pins 3 11 taped or cut for your MDD. Explore all the links on themacelite website to familiarize yourself with the pros and cons of flashed PC cards in Macs before you purchase anything.

Re: Odd Behavior for a G5 Optical Drive
Okay, 10.5.6 finally made my system usable with Leopard (NO Glitches anywhere and it's heavily upgraded and mix 'n matched). I have an identical HDD to the one i'm booting from and want to keep perfect, or go back to this very day if there's any issues later on. How can I Clone the drive, down to its very last label color pref. 47 layers down into the Terminal...ya'll know what I mean. Thanks a TON! Joey. Sent from Joey's iPhone 3G. Lose Micro$hit; Go Apple!

Re: Odd Behavior for a G5 Optical Drive Thread changed??
Thank you Ted. Leopard was unusable on my 500 MHZ DP G$ Gigabit. There were install problems, network probs...every problem. I don't know what possesses me to do these things, but I decided to do a nuke n pave on a perfect Tiger 10.4.11. I just needed to try the Leopard thing yet again. Before I did it, I realized I never did a Firmware Update on it to my knowledge, and I found one. Installed in OS 9.2.2. Bravo! I did the Open Firmware commands, and it all went smoothly. Leopard installed slowly but surely, I did all the updates on the night of 10.5.5 (TEDIOUS when u have iLife, iWork, etc etc...). Wasn't thrilled with my stuff not working, especially my 2nd G4! Here's a list of what got murdered (USB 1.1 Bluetooth Adapter behind Cinema Disp. for my wireless kb+mouse and Contour METAL headset...great for A or A/V iChatting for everyone that uses isight without a bluetooth headset), Griffin PowerMate, Ultra SCSI-2 Card for my scanner, my high quality euro spec. Epson scanner, my beat-it-daily USB HP PSC4480 all-in-one, my iSub pissed me off the most not working, for those that haven't heard the USB Cube Speakers and USB iSub working in harmony together, lemme tell you -- it sounds better than the SoundSticks, esp. the new ones with the cheap minijack...shameful. The setup is more clear through USB than most optical-based systems i've heard, and was NEVER supported by Apple until 10.2.8...I REMEMBER it lol...) with the performance, but I was noticing the more I used it and fresh-installed apps, it got quicker, like EVERYTHING's Cached. Is that a fact BTW? Anyways, I went to bed a bit unsettled about the whole thing. I woke up and it told me it was ready to Finish the install (That auto. $hit is the 1st thing I turn off) OS 10.5.6. I agreed and it installed. After the install, and a second restart b/c there was an app I forgot, then I realized the speakers were working and the PowerMate was pulsing. Good sign. Looked around the Finder; it was more responsive than my nuked n paved MBP15. Both processors were working. The system i'm on is FASTER THAN the MBP. I have TONS of background activity going on (LimeWire, Finder tasks, iTunes, Activity Monitor which can be a pig, Mail, 3 iChats, AOL Desktop, Carbon Copy Cloner...thx again ;-). The CPU is MAXXED out, but I keep adding things and it's coping beautifully. Like me just turning on the iTunes Visualizer (Pretty but I wish they just refined the old one where you never knew what u were gonna get...)...slow, gritty, but I turned it right off w/o any spinning balls. On my 2 Intel Macs, if you do mor than Safari, Finder, and Citrix in a Java VM, and the spinning ball shows up; I walk away now. I've tried everything on those (yuk*cough...AHE) APPLE x86 boxes (I never thought i'd type that, and even those of you that like the Intel machines, you never did, either ;-) I think there was a *BIG* PPC layer change; a MONSTER optimization; a good lil developer at Apple that wanted to give G4/G5 users 2 final, stable, sprightly releases of OS X before they drop all support...and i'm glad. The Intel machines will just have to suffer till 10.6 Snow Leopard for a decent release. ...Apple should have stayed on the PPC platform, even if we had slow development at times. Now my intel Macs feel like x86 junk. BTW my config is: Dual original G4s 2GB RAM (PC133 - IT IS FASTER IN PRACTICE EVEN THOUGH ITS A 100 BUS; MAYBE THE DP THING?) ATI RADEON 9000 Pro 23 Apple Cinema HD Display, 17 Studio Monitor for Activity, LimeWire, iChat buddies, Main mail window.
