    HD upgrade - whats the best config

    There's not really much merit in partitioning these days, particularly if you're using the drive for big files such as video. Your best bet would probably be to keep your system on one and your video on another, that way system tasks won't interfere too much with your video loading/saving. Plus...

    G4 867 fan noise

    Yeah, Seagate hard drives here too. Could be the answer. What drives are you running?

    help me upgrade my mac g4 =)

    I think he meant that he never put in more than 512, not that it can't go over that. You can get get double that amount with little problem, providing the RAMs the same speed as the computer. Definitely keep your old drive - the more space the better, and don't bother partitioning the new one...

    G4 867 fan noise

    You sure there's not something wrong with it?! Compared to the MDD models, my Quicksilver runs very quietly. There is a bit of a whirr, but I have 3 hard drives on the go. Nothing like as bad as the DualG4s we have at work. Make sure its all dust-free inside and there's nothing blocking any...

    G4 hardrive addition recommendation

    My seagate ones were more expensive than the equivalent maxtor and Westerns and they've always performed faultlessly. They also seem faster than the numerous WD drives I've used. Just lucky me, I guess! Or am I getting a better spec ones than everyone else?

    G4 hardrive addition recommendation

    They're all fairly similar. If you want a bit of a speed bump, you might want to consider going for ultra scsi stuff, but they cost loads more. If you just want extra capacity from a standard drive, I can recommend Seagates Barracudas. I've got 2 in my machine (40GB and 80GB) and they've been...

    What DVD-R int drive for my 733

    Is it as simple as that? So I could use one in my G4/867? I can't use iDVD with that tho can I? And can I make proper playable DVDs of home movies and suchlike? Isn't the Apple superdrive the Pioneer one and if so, how come Apple don't sell them as add-ons?

    Why Apple can't disable OS 9 booting completely

    Well, looks like they've gone and done it, no more OS9 booting with Quark still many moons away. Not totally convinced by the premium priced OS9-ables so now's Adobe's chance to get InDesign the market it once had with PageMaker. Brave move by Apple risking losing people to Quark on Windows...

    Polygon Links

    Even very basic programs like the old Adobe PageMill do them - you just have to double click on the image and you get a little set of drawing tools up to make the polygons with.

    SBC Owns Patent on Menu Bar Links

    Sheah, I'm sure there are gonna be a whole host of multinationals stepping forward with their $50,000,000 prepaid licence fees so they can continue using the sites thay had designed before this patent was even entered. Case dismissed, claimant to pay all costs. Plus a bit extra for making a...

    12.1" G4 - Mixed reactions

    Yeah, the 12" looks great and would be ideal for me - was reluctant to get a 12" iBook because it was only a G3; but I have to agree with the initial post, that it shouldn't be the worst spec, just because its the smallest.

    Powerbook Keyboard

    I was under the impression that the light sensors were in the speaker grilles at the side of the keyboard. Not sure why, I think someone may have gestured towards that area in one of the videos. I may be wrong tho. Either way, I could use a Pro Keyboard with glowy letters. That would be v...

    A great addition to 10.3!

    Nope, no replys, but I get the impression they do listen. Things I send to them generally seem to appear in the next upgrades. I'm guessing I'm not the only person asking for things, but we probably all want similar stuff and if enough people ask... We are the reason they're still here, after...

    MAC OSX 10.2.2 Newbie

    I've never seen vast improvements with upgrade cards on older machines such as G3s in 7500s etc, but since your G4 isn't all that old you won't have too much bottlenecks due to bus speed if you do upgrade. I would think that more RAM would be a far more cost effective option though. You could do...

    Replacing Publisher?

    Quark's a piece of cake to get the basics of, but as Toast sez, there's a whole lot more going on than first meets the eye. InDesign is fantastically capable, but is yet to be adopted by many printers due to RIP problems. Getting better all the time tho. Unfortuantely Quark is yet to be released...
