How much to ship that imac dc to me at zip 97048? Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2012 02:13:54 -0700 From: [email protected] Subject: Re: Macintosh SE 30 + Powerbooks To: [email protected]
G5's and faster G4's, still good all around Macs, as long as you don't need to run Intel only software. The G3's are as capable as they were when new but have fallen behind like the 68K and pre-G3 PowerPC Macs did in their time. I'm giving away my 450Mhz blue iMac DV because I haven't used it in a long time. It got put out to pasture because it just couldn't cope with the way the WWW was changing. I fired it up again when Ten Four Fox was out of beta, put OS X 10.4.11 on it, updated everything and it was still slow on the web. Back in the closet it went. I did look into a G4 upgrade for it, but not at the prices those upgraded mainboards sell for. Too much for a $10 yard sale Mac which I upgraded with a 7,200 RPM 40 gig hard drive, 512 meg RAM and an AirPort card, all of which I already had from PC upgrades or got for free. Use an old Mac for what it was made to handle and it's a good computer. I shoehorned OS X onto a Revision 2 beige G3 desktop and the result was pretty much useless. The same would be true for putting OS X 10.5 onto any but the fastest G3 Macs. --- On Wed, 4/4/12, Michael Needham <[email protected]> wrote: So I think the PPC is quite viable at this time. I hope to get at least a couple of years out of my G5! -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
