    9.2.1 Seems to need a ton or RAM

    Hi No. That is extensions. Mine is currently using 49.4MB but at some point in time maybe 9.1 used like 54MB on my G4. If you have a lot of apps with a lot of extensions it will do this. No big deal get more RAM and turn off any unused extensions. But VM does suck. Because it uses the hard...

    G4 and G5 chips

    Hi PC processors use mostly CISC. I mean come on get with the times. Peh AMD and Intel blow though I do prefer AMD over Intel but IBM and the PowerPC over them both. Apple MAY start uisng a 200MHz DDR-SDRAM bus this Jan. And the Itanium (wink wink) sucks big wompy! The G5 and AltiVec would...

    OS X 10.1 complaints... STRAIGHT FROM APPLE

    Hi A small comment on the demo vs. release. Of course the developer releases are different from the public ones. And well Apple probably ran the demo on the Apple Power Mac G4 dual 800MHz. Which has so much processing speed it could kill. But not only processor speed but bus and hard drive...

    Lombard blues

    Hi I have the PowerBook G3 Lombard (low end 333MHz) It didn't include a DVD kit so of course no DVD unless you purchased a kit in which if it is non-Apple it may not be supported. And the wirless card I would say an update would remove a hack.

    Missing Features in 10.1...

    Hi I don't have 10.1 yet so I will post my full report next week. Now........ I could probably agree on the clock thing. A hard drive does get it's butt kicked if you do that. I didn't know that right away with my PowerBook but I got a nice crash once and the ? disk icon and now my hard...

    OpenGL Video Drivers for ATI non-128

    Hi 10.1 has supposed ATI Rage Pro support. And your Blue and White should have an ATI Rage128 (no pro). So Yippe! :D

    mac 3D videocards... WHAT IS THE BEST? for ligtwave, maya and so?

    Hi I would highly recommend ATI Technology's RADEON (AGP or PCI version) because it has 32MB of DDR-SDRAM and a hardware transform and lighting engine called the Charisma™ Engine. It should give you the performance you require.

    Video card questions

    Hi I can't give a complete answer but I can help a little, I think. First you need a program to flash the cards and well it doesn't always work. Second as far as I've read nVidia GeForce2 and GeForce3 graphics acclerators are 4X AGP only. What is so bad about buying the Mac version of the...

    common problem with 10.0.4?

    Hi Very few times. I believe it is when a program doesn't quite quit and doesn't unexpectedly quit. So it is still using resources and for some slight mix-up can't seem to let them go. It is more likely in tight RAM situations.

    Alitvec for OS X?

    Hi Yes (good goin on the research, I hate people that pull stuff out of their bums). But the current Darwin is set for up to two processors, and is AltiVec, and will be 1000% faster with the 10.1 update. I might be over doing the percent but still. And I stated why above. I will try to find...

    my G4 (sawtooth) doesn't accept 133pcRAM!?

    Hi PC-133 SDRAM will downgrade itself to 100MHz because of the bus but it will work. Though like others said, it could be a poor module. I recommend http://www.macsales.com. They haven't given me problems and I have the same model as you so try them out they are cheap too.

    Strange behavior

    Hi Correct the processor isn't made for that and OS X pushes your computer a hell of a lto harder than the previous OS's. So sorry I guess you're stuck thought that little MHz jump won't show tooo much anyway.

    G3 and G4 logic board differences?

    Hi Just wanted to add the next after that were the codename Sawtooth (AGP), after that Digital Audio (133MHz bus), and now Quicksilver (Quicksilver).

    G3 and G4 logic board differences?

    Hi You are correct. They are those logic boards. The Power Mac G4 codenamed Yikes running at 350MHz and 400Mhz were just the next revision casings with a B/W logic board hosting a ZIF PowerPC 7400 (G4) chip. No difference what so ever.

    How To Prevent Booting Off A Cd

    Hi Hell. Look at 9.2.1 and below. Even if you have a program installed. Just hold Shift to turn off extensions at start-up. Well the really only way around your problem would be either a firmware tweak or cut off access to all drives (CD, Zip, etc) Fully install all programs so you don't...
