will a PPC cloned boot drive work as the boot drive for an Intel?

2009-07-28 Thread amorielljason
My dual 2.5 G5 with the CPU error that wouldn't boot (possibly due to bad capacitor acc. to earlier respnses) is still dead. The local tech cloned its boot drive onto an external hard drive for me so that I could use it to boot our Mac Mini. He said he wasn't sure if it would work as the boot

I'm probably missing the obvious here.  This forum doesn't have a lot of Symantec virus scanner software fans, and Norton/Symantec's had problems detecting the malware aimed at ACH bank accounts.  There have been a large # of infected computers in my area lately with malware that has

Re: router recommendations?

try fixed DNS entries and/or purchase a new router and take it back if it does not work. At work earlier this week there was a problem with the providers dns servers which can really mess things up. Lots of luck. Thank you. What's the best way to try fixed DNS entries? Googling that didn't
