"...would somebody hold me, please. i am about to breakdown - tightly, but not so tightly... so err ahem hrrr pprrr." Forget computers dude - from the "dubious" sounds you're making what you need is a woman! If you want someone to hold you (tightly), comfort you, and make reciprocating...

I think "RacerX" said it all... Although Mac OS X can (to a certain degree) run on almost any Mac, Apple decided to only support G3 computers with USB ports. This included all the Macs designed and built since Steve Jobs came back to power at Apple. This was a marketing decision - so the...

1. Make sure your ATI Radeon 9000 card has the lastest firmware/ROM. (October 2004 ATI RADEON Universal ROM Update for ATI Retail Mac Cards) 2. Make sure you have the lastest version of ATI Displays software. (ATI Displays 4.5.1) (Both are downloadable from the ATI website). If the...

umm - there should have been a fail safe mechanism to prevent this very situation. Normally (in mac OS X), just before you change the display settings the OS system automatically comes up with a pop-up window for which you have to press "OK" in order to proceed. It states: "About to change...

Hey guys - lets be serious here... There is _NO WAY_ that Apple is going to be calling their new Intel machines "Mactel". Think about it : Apple is a company renowned for their ultra 'cool' products, savvy marketing, & outspoken declaration to "innovate". Historically, the names and titles of...

Hey - thinking that since you are able to access the HD thru DiskWarrior you might be able to do so with other utilities. DiskWarrior is a brilliant program, but it's also only a disk recovery and defrag application. Your problem might be a OS X permissions gone wrong or something. I'm assuming...

Okay - I'm getting good at answering my own questions... I found this site: <http://macmod.com/content/view/75/2/> "While overclocking to 933 MHz was a walk in the park, at 1 GHz an annoying issue appeared: L3 cache was usually not activated at startup, either silently with OS X, or with...

Okay - to clarify what I want to know: > I want to know if anybody out there has successfully overclocked their G4 867mhz to 1ghz? > Also, is there a utility to downclock the L3 cache in Mac OS X? (See original post as to why I would want to do this...) It seems that the G4 867mhz _IS_...

Yes, both DiskWarrior and TechTool Pro are very good utility programs. If when booting from the OS X install disks and using Disk Utility, you are still not able to access/fix the drive - suggests that the drive has severe problems. One of the above programs may be able to fix it... You...

Granted, the processor is only one hardware part of many that enables a Mac to perform faster. Other system bottlenecks include; hard drive (one that many overlook), memory, and graphics card. Then there is the speed of add-on hardware such as the CD-RW or DVD drive and speed of connection...

Looks like little'ol'me slightly "missed the point" too. Thought I better quote the above - again...

> eh, that is slightly a "spoiling" comment... Although, thank-u for your concern. I can understand if overclocking is not a familiar thing, it could be seen as more trouble than it is worth. Generally I have found Mac users not to be too accepting of hardware modifications such as...

mmmmm, it's a tricky one. On one hand you want it to be simple. And I like how in the recent past we have had short catchy names for each processor development, ie: G3, G4, G5, regardless of who is making the chips (IBM or Motorola). I'm thinking that we need to continue that tradition so...

Having done the research and found (too) many sites on how to overclock the G4 867mhz processor in my Quicksilver - I've decided the time has come to go ahead. However one question remains...933mhz or 1ghz. I orignally planned to overclock to 933mhz (one jump). My reasons: > the 7450 cpu...

Hello. I'm wishing to change the 60mm CPU fan in my G4 Quicksilver tower. I know that many sites refer to quieting their Quicksilvers - however I'm finding it very hard to obtain a fan (or information regarding brand/model) that has adequate CFM but is also quiet. The original fan is as...

The 5 Stages of Grief: Denial (what the #$@#! Apple can't do that! This isn't happening!) Anger (why? Is Apple #$%#ing with me!!!) Bargaining (They have to be dual boot AND with better graphics cards...) Depression (My new G5 suddenly de-valued by $2000) Acceptance (I'm ready for whatever...

Thanks "Oscar Castillo" for giving me the - "NEW" - Apple marketing blurb... Gee wizz - the way Apple keeps changing its tune these days you have to think twice to find out which side of the fence your sitting on. Now look... - don't get me wrong... I completely understand that this...

Definition of Idiot: A foolish or stupid person. I don't know about you - but having been seduced thru years and years of Apple marketing about the virtues of the PowerPC over anything else... to suddenly be told that it was all bullshit... Well... I'm feeling a little foolish!
