Re: Are powermac g4 still useful?

I used (and still am using) my PowerMac G4 MDD (1,25 Ghz) for (amateur) mathematical research, along with one other Core i5 computer. It certainly still is useful. Matevž -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with

Hy! Check this link (themacelite): themacelite.wikidot.com/compatibility As you can see, for more than 75% of graphic cards, pins 3 and 11 need to be altered. Your computer can go up to Radeon x800 and GeForce 7800, as you mentioned. Good luck, Matevž -- You received thi

Hy! Support for the Blue Box environment (alas, classic mode in OS X) was abandoned on Intel versions of OS X. Rosetta (along with Apple Java) will face the same fate in Lion. What about having the old Mac Mini and the new one at the same time? Matevž -- You received this message because you a

Guys, I agree with Jonas Ulrich. I use my PowerMac MDD Dual 1.25 for my own research into theory of numbers and it is performing very well! So far it had over 900 hours of computing time in last few months, and it still performs well. Be well -- You received this message because you are a member

Re: Apple_ARM ?

About your bet, Dan, what do you think will happen to the Mac Pro line? At the time I see no alternative to Xeon Nehalems. The reason I am concerned about this is because I use computers also to compute number sequences and there you need all the power you can get. And more cores mean more interval

Re: Apple_ARM ?

So Apple will just stick to intel on high-performance models, while using ARM for everything else? That seems too optimistic to be true... that would mean that Apple would have to develop 2 parallel versions of OS X at the same time, one for ARM and other for Intel. This actually is nothing new, Ap

Re: Apple_ARM ?

Wow! If Apple goes to ARM on laptops, wouldn't that be like going back to the PowerPC. I know that the times are different today and that ARM is way better off than PowerPC was in 2005 as far as Apple is concerned, but still, what would the performance of say future equivalent of MacBook pro be? A

Downclock Powermac G4 mdd

Hello! I have a Powermac G4 dual (1.25 ghz), running under OS X Tiger. I use this computer as a test server with low traffic. Because no performance-demanding tasks are running on it, I want to decrease the temperature of both cpus and thus also reduce the noise of the fan, as it is way too high.
