You're right in wanting more RAM: IMO 512 isn't enough. Personally, I'd go with at least 2 GB, but if you've already got spare memory, 1.5 is probably enough. Just make sure you're using the right type of RAM: your G5 uses PC3200 (DDR400), if I'm not mistaken. As long as that's what you've got...

Good choices. Fryke and Simbalala also made some good points. A lot of people get caught up in size and price with LCD displays, and overlook important details, like whether or not it's DVI, and what the refresh rate is. There are a ton of really cheap, big LCD displays out there that might...

That was one of the first things I tried. Still doesn't explain the weird problems at startup with the premature login panel...

I'm at a complete loss on this one. I'm a pretty competent Mac geek, and even I can't figure this out. Bear with me, I'll try and explain my problem as best I can. First, some basic info: My hardware setup: iMac G3 600MHz 1GB RAM 120GB internal HD, running OSX 10.4.7 The computer's...
