There is no profit in selling G3/G4 machines that you have to upgrade. Once in a while you can find a cheap or free machine and parts from different places, but you cannot do it in any reasonable volume over time. There are quite a few people in every city in the nation trying to refurb and

G4 Sawtooth problem

2010-11-20 Thread Powermac
I snagged a G4-400 Sawtooth in the hopes of upgrading it to a dual G4-500. Unfortunatly I didn't know you need a Uni-n rev 7 or higher for the setup to work (the machine boots into OS 9.2.2 fine and System profiler shows 2 x 500 CPUs with cache, but OSX installs kernal panic on booting from the OS

Now that time has gone by we should have an idea what the most and least reliable G4 towers are. Seems to me that ADC equipped towers have issues with power supplies, other then that I don't know. What do you guys think? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group

Low end to me means the basic models, starter systems. If you are poor stick to an older used PC you can get for little money. Also learn to work on your own machines when they fail, this means buying some basic tools and using google to find fixes. The fact is the computer indistry doesn't care
