-- Original message -- Subject: late 05 g5 question Date:Montag 20 September 2010N From:roger deghetto stink...@ptd.net To: G-Group g3-5-list@googlegroups.com i have a late 05 powermac g5 dual core 2.0 when i turn my machine on the power light goes red for a minute and i was wondering if this is normal for this model? I have the same model. The red light is one for about 2 or 3 seconds. Thereafter no more red, only green :-) Sorry, don't know more. Could be a lose contact, e.g. for the air deflector or so. If it works, it works, right? BTW: This model “features” a sudden death when the battery goes empty: you'll only hear the fans roar and that's it. Solution: simply replace the battery. Type: CR2032, 3V I just had this happen, and it took me some time to figure it out. Just my 2¢.

G5 Question
Greetings all, Today I was blessed with a nice used late-model G5/2.3GHz Dual-Core unit to use as a server in my office. This is one of the PCI-E models. Everymac.Com states this about the PCI-E slots: This model has two open full-length four-lane PCI Express slots, and one open full-length eight-lane PCI Express slot (I presume the two four-lane slots are the 100MHz slots, and the third is a 133MHz slot, yes?) My main question is: which slot of the three is the 8-lane slot? I suspect its the one closest to the CPU, is that correct? Thank you for the consideration.

Best regards, Dana PCI Express runs at the same clock speed, they're all 100 MHz. The lanes mean the data bandwidth of the slot. A 1x slot is good for 250MB/s, while a 4 lane slot is good for 4x that, and an 8x slot is good for 8x that amount. The graphics card sits in a 16 lane slot. You can tell which slot is which by their length. -- 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.
