RE: FYI:Fan on video board.

The fans on the 9800 series of video cards are notoriously unreliable - partly because these cards do run pretty hot compared to others. A lot of guys replace the fans with something that pushes a lot more air. The fan in my 9800 128mb went south after 6 months of use and I know of two others th

RE: Power MacG4-AGP, Radeon 9000 video card can't upgrade to Tiger

John Carmonnes approach is exactly what I do to troubleshoot any Mac. Remove all variables down to a bare bones system. Disconnect any PCI cards , hard drives except one for the boot drive, all ram sticks except for one and any other USB hub etc. Use an Apple keyboard and boot from the hard drive

RE: PowerMac G4 RAM limits

Take out all the Ram sticks and run your computer with just one in place. Use one of the modules that you know is good and try it in the suspect slot as well. That should tell you whether it is the slot or the stick that is at fault. Another way is to download and run Memtest http://www.memtesto

RE: Leopard or Tiger?

I put a new 7200RPM drive in my Pismo and at a rough guess I would say it made it 10-15% faster. On one of the LEM articles someone put Tiger and Leopard on the same G4 Powerbook ( 1.4Ghz from memory ) and using benchmarking tests found that Leopard slowed it down by only 4% - hardly noticeable

RE: G3 9200 dying?

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 a Radeon 3

RE: G3 9200 dying?

Is this the original hard drive in this machine ? If it is, then it is what - close to ten years old - a pensioner in computing years. I'd look at that as probably the main culprit here going by some of the follow up postings about other symptoms and not your video card. A reinstall of OS9.2 wou

I have had a Seritek 1S2 running in my dual DA ( 10.4.11 ) for over a year now with a 10,000RPM WD Raptor running off it just fine. The HD is bootable from this SATA card too - not all SATA cards can have a Mac bootable drive running off them I believe. If I wanted to I could plug another HD int

If the SD card is the only card you use then all you need is one of these http://cgi.ebay.com/SDHC-SD-USB-2-0-Memory-Card-Reader-for-2GB-4GB-8GB-16GB_W0QQitemZ320454208501QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCC_Drives_Storage_Internal?hash=item4a9c8f2bf5 I paid $2 for mine + post then bought another for my Powerbo

RE: Video upgrade options for a Gigabit Ethernet G4

I think at the lower end of the scale like a 16mb 2 x AGP vs a 16mb PCI card there would be very little difference but when you start to compare a 128mb PCI vs a 128mb 4 x AGP card there would be a much bigger disparity in performance. See here for a comparison http://www.cs.umd.edu/class/fall20

RE: Video upgrade options for a Gigabit Ethernet G4

A flashed Radeon 9800 256mb card off ebay will set you back $200 but is probably the best you could get for a 2X AGP slot. It depends on how much you want to spend too. A 128mb version of the same card would set you back $125 or more. I just bought a flashed nVidia 6200 256mb for my 2X AGP Cube

RE: SATA card for DVD burner in a MDD

Good result Ross. I have the Seritek 1S2 and run a WD Raptor off it in OSX.4.11 which runs well. You should list your success on the XLR8 database for PCI cards under the interface type - IDE Serial ATA PCI card and any relevant information. http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/drivedb/search.drivedb.la
