    dualscreen with quake 3 arena

    quake 3 arena does not support dual screens, any game that you want to play on mutiple screens must be written to allow you to do that and quake sadly does not.

    Minimum G4 to run OS X well?

    yeah any G4 should be fine, and give it the extra ram, osx definately runs smoother with the extra memory. My brother just put osx on a G3 400Mhz iMac and it runs great with the 512 mb of ram.

    DVR-104 won't read or write DVD-R's

    I'm pretty sure it isn't a software item now =( I've tried different user logins under 10.2.4 and booting to a os9 system, still no luck. Question do super drives actually have 2 lasers, one for CD's and one for DVD's? This would make sense with the symptoms of my problem. Anyone have any ideas...

    I have the PIONEER DVR-104 Drive in my MDD Dual 1Ghz G4 that has stopped reading DVD's. It still reads CD's just fine and will write CD-R's just fine. To get arround the problem (I need to be able to atleast read DVD's) I've installed a plain DVD drive in bay 2. This problem existed before I...

    Vital system file?

    Are you running 10.2.3? I searched my system for this file and do not have it, however i have not installed norton either. .kext files are system extensions usually kept in the System/Library/Extensions folder. I would suggest that you search your system for this file and see if you find it. If...

    I finally switch back to netscape, ie and ns were about equal back in the days of 4.x versions. Then nescape sucked for a long time and ie was the better. Now ie has slowed down and safari and ns7 are becoming better browsers. Safari isn't bad i've used it some, but i really like the tabbed...

    Partition Hard Disk

    I don't partition drives anymore. Current speeds of drives for general purposes you won't notice seek time differences. Yes you can do it as organization purposes, altough i wouldn't recommend backing up to a partition. If a drive corupts or fails you still loose everything, you'd be better off...

    Mac OS 10.2.3 Icons won't change!

    I had that problem under 10.2.2 and 10.2.3 fixed it for me. Sometimes its a permissions thing too. But if your just doing your apps and work files a log out and in should work.

    10.2 startup page freeze - quicksilver 733

    Do you have any other pci cards installed in the machines? There are some incompatabilities with especially some scsi cards. I have had this issue to where a scsi card kept me from even booting of the cd, just getting the gray screen and never going anywhere else. If you have any extra cards...
