There is nothing wrong with these old machines.
My 8 yr old daughter uses a black 1996 Directors Edition 5500/180 upgraded to a
5500/250 logicboard( sold only here in Australia and Japan and kinda like the
old Mac TV you have there in the States ) with a G3/500 upgrade Sonnet CPU and

Um.B&W G3s use a separate graphics card, so there could be any sorts
of card in there and thus any amount of VRAM, so that is no guide. For
instance, mine has a Radeon 7000 in

I'm having no luck trying to get the heatsink off the card. Any tips
on how to get this thing off?
The nipples don't want to twist off and they're too wide to go back
through the holes on the card.
It looks like the compound is epoxy too - like a glob of tooth paste.

LOL, no. I don't get many problems from it either. It's from my eMac

I really can't figure out if this is a serious conversation or not. Is it
possible to end it because it doesn't seem to be going anywhere? just my 2
cents.

If it is, then it is what - close to ten years old - a pensioner in computing

I'd look at that as probably the main culprit here going by some of the follow

I mean the PCI USB cards can cause problems like booting with the
keyboard plugged into them and the system may not be able to use sleep
mode.
cheers!

Hi there!
Are you using this keyboard in a PCI USB expansion card?
If so, you should use the keyboard in the main USB ports of the G4
instead.
The USB ports can be problematic for issues such as booting up and
sleeping the system.
Cheers! :)

I would clean it out on the inside to make sure it's not running a little

Well, I swapped the 9200 with the Rage 128 and the graphics issue
seems to be gone. I guess the 9200 is about toast.
Though I should have a second spare GPU PCI card for this. I just won
another G4 (AGP) on eBay and it has two GPUs, one in the AGP slot and
one in the PCI slot. So, a spare may not b
