Ah I see, what a pitty. I guess the computer is bottle necking at the support chips then. No hope in upgrading those. I guess, for this computer, it's pointless to upgrade my RAM from 640 MB to 768 MB, or trying to get a video card with more video RAM. Okay, thanks for the info!

Oh wow, that's some interesting information about the processor. I had no idea the G4 upgrade wasn't giving me full G4-ness! (Look out oxford dictionary!). Yah I'm currently using XPostFacto to allow me to run OS X 10.3.9 on a six GB partition while the rest of the HD is used for OS 9. (I set...

Hello everyone! QUESTION: Does Mac OS X 10.3.9 perform disk caching? INFORMATION: I would like to max out the RAM I have in my machine and would be much more happy to know that if I exceed what is needed, the extra RAM will be getting put to good use. MORE INFORMATION: I'm using a highly...

I'm real sorry, "bobw" is right. (insert embarressed "smilie" here). One DOES need to back up all the important files, emails, book marks, ect. first. You might want to play it safe and LEAVE YOUR FIRST ACCOUNT ALONE and create a second "test" account and see if the Adobe software works on...

I had a similar problem with my Beige G3. The CD ROM read official comercial CDs just fine, but if I burned any CDs using my external CD burner or the CD burner in a G5, the G3 couldn't read it. It didn't matter what CD I used, it was just a matter of the CD ROM in the G3 not being able to...

My G5 does this every great once in a while as well. It seems to be when I cautch it off guard and tell it to shut down before it has a chance to finish coming out of sleep mode or if I just quit about 5 programs and then immediatly tell it to shut down. Are your G5s dual processors? Mine is a...

Take the weekend off (or maybe even the week :( ) and start diagnosing the thing, piece....by....piece. Eventually you'll find the faulty piece of hardware (hopefully). Take it from someone who turned a dead beige G3 into a OS X worthy machine, it's going to suck, but you've just got to do it...

Try deleting your user account and creating a new one. I had exactly the same problem when trying to get the Adobe software to run on a school B&W G3 running OS X. The program started up fine when the user account was set to "administrator", but wouldn't start up when the user account was set...

Hoe-k, So I started out with a Beige G3. I've upgraded it out the wazzoooo and haven't looked back. I've overclocked my processor and it's cash. Is there any way to overclock the RAM? I can't seem to find any literature on the process at all. :( Thanks in advance for your assistance. Your...

I only paied $50.00 for the card. ($58.00 with shipping). The 9200 may be better, but will the fact that it's a PCI video card make the A/V card not work?

If I switch to my onboard video, with xpostfacto installed, the A/V card works fine. I have QT7 working now because I upgraded to a G4 550MHz. My A/V card still does not work with the flashed PCI video card though. Sound out works, nothing else. What's the point of sending back the new video...

Is it common for the A/V personality card to not work when a PCI video card is installed? I have a G3 Rev.1 mobo, upgraded Rev. C ROM, 640MB RAM, 266MHz G3 processor, running OS 9.2.2 and OS 10.3.9 via xpostfacto. The video card I upgraded to is a Radeon 7000, 64MB edition. According to...

Hello, I would like to run a live streaming H.264 format video in a small window on my Beige G3 tower. The only thing left that needs upgrading is the processor. I'm trying to figure out if the processor I'm thinking of getting will work. I want to get a G4 500MHz upgrade processor. I tried...
