RAM compatibility

2003-12-11 Thread Jacob Saariaho
I just inherited a slot loading iMac 350 MHz that I want to upgrade to Panther. Question is, will the 128 MB DIMM that I took out of my 333 MHz G3 PowerBook work in it. - Jacob -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com |

Panther on Lomard

2003-12-10 Thread Jacob Saariaho
Finally got around to updating my Lombard to Panther. Went through almost the entire installation when suddenly the screen when nuts, went dark with jumping vertical and horizontal lines, never seen that before. When I forced a shut down and restart the computer had a kernel panic immediately.

This can't be entirely true. I use iMovie 2 on my Lombard 333 (No FireWire) and connect to my Canon DV Cam using a FireWire Card. On Wednesday, November 19, 2003, at 10:41 AM, Steve Moody wrote: On Nov 18, 2003, at 8:03 PM, Melvin Watts wrote: I got a Wallstreet [233] running OS 9.2, iMovie

You know what? Spam or no-Spam, off-list or on. This List has gotten very tiresome this past week I don't need my email clogged up with 40 part discussions on email propriety or geek debates on Apple and Microsoft politics. I thought this was a better alternative to slogging through message

Look, I really appreciate all the corporate ass kissing and lawyer bashing, but I just wanted to know what exactly is claimed in the lawsuit? That Apple didn't offer support for G3 users? Falsely advertised compatibility for computers that weren't and then didn't offer refunds to customers who

I installed a TravelStar 30Gig HD and 512MB of Ram in my Lombard and have been running Jaguar exclusively. I love it, but I've always found computer speed to be a somewhat relative matter. What did I expect from a 4 year old computer? And how much money did I spend on the machine. Adding a

Finished my upgrades last night. I got a hand-me-down Lombard from a friend who was replacing it with a 15 TiBook. The screen was shattered and the battery was dead (I tried every fix I could find online and from previous G-Book messages, so I'm pretty sure it's really and truly dead). I

I was going to upgrade my HD to a 20GB 5400RPM IBM TravelStar but Other World Computing was out of stock. I got impatient and went with with 30GB 4200RPM, was this a mistake? I'm hoping to get my Lombard up to speed to at least work iMovie and maybe Final Cut Pro. I don't expect it to cruise

I'm in a similar situation myself, with a Lombard I got as a hand-me-down. I just purchased both the high profile and low profile 256 chips from Otherworld Computing. With 128 MB my Lombard runs Jaguar surprisingly well, but it is slow. I'm also replacing the hard drive with a larger and

I inherited a G3 PowerBook G3 with a cracked screen and a dead battery. I've already replaced the screen with an eBay purchase (good as new) and now am looking to do a series of upgrades. I'm about to place an order for a new battery, more RAM, a 20GB HD, and a firewire card from Otherworld
