Re: Bad Video Card?
I would send it back if you are able as card does not function as it should. If it was AS IS then your pretty much stuck. -Original Message- From: Michael McMurtrey Sender: g3-5-list@googlegroups.com Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:08:48 To: Reply-To: g3-5-list@googlegroups.com Subject: Bad Video Card? i recently purchased a Radeon 9800 Pro video card from an ebay seller. It was advertised as 256 Mb VRAM, and there is indeed a sticker on the card which identifies it as such. However, after installation, System Profiler reports it as 128 Mb VRAM, not 256, and there is a distinct hot, ozone smell coming from the computer. Upon reinstallation of the original video card, the smell has disappeared. What's the consensus? Is this card defective?

Re: hdiutil help

The iMac is in this case acting as the router for the local network. Routers usually use less power than an iMac will when left powered on 24/7.

Re: Dual 500 G4

This evening I noticed that one of my processors was not running--MenuMeters showed 0%. To remedy the situation I zapped the PRAM, did a low level reset and restarted. The G4 restarted in OS 9.2.2, and indicated that my date and time were incorrect. When I went to the Date and Time Control Panel to set the date and time, my Mac crashed. I ran DiskWarrior and it repaired several itemsthe same issues on each of my internal drives. I don't know what the problem was with my date and time, or why the Mac crashed when I tried to set it. My PRAM battery is freshyet the date showed as 1904. Strange. Thankfully, I am back to normal now. What is the keyboard command that allows you to re-start and then select a startup disk?
