Dual 500 Mhz G4

I have MenuMeters installed so that I can monitor the activity of
each processor.
This evening I noticed that one of my processors was not
running--MenuMeters showed 0%.
To remedy the situation I zapped the PRAM, did a low level reset and restarted

"SnakeBite" is the code name for your Power Mac G4 (Gigabit Ethernet)
according to the indispensable Mac evolution database (free download)

That would most likely be the Gigabit model, unless we're talking
about an upgraded G4. The Yikes was basically a G4 welded on to a G3
motherboard. If you ever do have the opportunity to own a Yikes, run

I oc'd my 400MHz Yikes! to 450, added a Sonnet Trio FW400/USB2/ATA133

I should've known I'd be flamebait for dissing the venerable Yikes. I
will say that for a time I had both a Yikes and a Sawtooth with the
same clock speed. Even stock, the Sawtooth was noticably faster.
Plus it was easier to find faster/better upgrades for it. It most

Turn on, or restart, your Mac.
Immediately press and
hold the Option key. After a few seconds, the Startup Manager should
appear.
The Startup Manager scans for available available volumes.

I'm reading alot here and elsewhere about upgrading my G4 dual 500
from Panther to Leopard and looking for more info. From what I read
it's doable. A couple of stupid questions. I have a Macbook Pro with
Leopard. Can I use that installation dvd to install Leopard on my G4 ?

Yes, you can use the MacBook's installer just fine. It's only locked
as to the Mac it will install from, not the drive it will install to.
Start the G4 up in Target Disk Mode, boot the MacBook from the
installer, and choose the G4's HD to install to. I've done it before,
it works fine. No need for

Oh, I want to mention that a MacBook installer might be x86 only and
not install the proper files for the PPC machine. Well, if your

You're mistaken. Only Tiger came in separate PPC & x86 versions.

I have installed leopard on that identical computer, and the easiest way is
to use leopard assist. Just download, its super easy to use and comes with
