Re: iMac G5 issue with DVD Drive
Are you trying to boot a OS disk or just a regular disk in general keeping it from booting? If you're trying to boot an OS disk you need to use a 10.2-10.5, 10.5 is the best as it provides the most usability and it runs well on a G5. Also, to boot from a disk you need to hold down the C key, and if that doesn't work try holding down the option key to bring up the "Boot menu". -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: vintage-2000 G4 in trouble - wont start
Depending on what you want to spend, you can get a G5 which will be faster than any G4, or find a cheap Intel mac such as an original Macbook, even a Core Duo will be faster than a G5. The Core Duo macbooks can be found on my local Craigslist for between $150-250 with a battery that doesn't hold a charge, but using it on a desk a battery isn't needed. As for the clicking, that I find strange.

Re: G3 Blueberry --- was: Help! What to do with iMac Bondi G3 Tray Loading 233mhx cpu 256 mb ram
I have a G3/400 iMac, slot loading also, and it feels quite slow to me running OS 10.2, I just got Tiger disks so I'll run an upgrade sometime soon, whenever I feel like digging it out of the garage. Mine has a gig of ram, but then again I also never got to reinstall the OS when I got it so the original 20 gig drive has like 2 gigs free. I will tell you though that speed is a matter of opinion. For my mac I typically use a Dual 2 GHz G5 with 4 gigs ram, and that makes my desktop running Linux feel slow (2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo with 3 gigs ram). As for airport, I also noticed that all the adapters seemed to be in China also. About 2 years ago I got my iMac and I wanted wireless also, but didn't feel like buying one from China, so I just used an old Windows laptop with a bad screen (backlight was out) and ran that using Internet Connection Sharing and a crossover cable for internet, cheap and works, even more so when you pull the screen completely to save power. And for ram, mixing is fine, I originally had it running with a 512 and a 128 before I got a 2nd 512 meg chip, both of different speeds and it worked fine.

Re: iMac USB 2 1.25 GHz G4
A G4 really isn't the best for movies, a G5 can do it a lot better but for anything above 480p you'll want to find an Intel mac.

Re: emac 700Mhz Opinium
1 gig of ram on an 800 MHz G4 was usable but not the greatest. However, it will be a huge improvement over 256 megs, you will not regret upgraded.

Re: Running Linux on mac G3
I installed Xubuntu 9.10 on my iMac and the only problem seemed to be with the video. (16-bit). I couldn't find a driver so I put the original hard drive back into it. You may have the same problem if you have an ATI Rage 128 card in it.

Re: selling imac late 2006
I would try the LEM swap list. You also can keep this iMac because it will run Snow Leopard, only it can't boot in to 64-bit mode due to a 32-bit EFI. -- C:\win Bad Command Or File Name C:\ -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: old imac wireless question
Well, I would just tell them to use a wire because it would be much easier than trying to find a card then the installation.
