    10.4, a wise upgrade?

    Ok, i currently have OSX 10.3.9 installed on my rather old G3. It has 233mhz and 286mb ram. It runs MS word ok, so i'm happy. However the dashboard thingy in 10.4 looks really awesome. Is this version heavier on my system? Also, what about compatibility, i heard there are some problems on that...

    Apps won't start

    Yo i'm running Mac OSX 10.3.9 on a G3 233mhz with 286Mb Ram. For some reason, some apps won't run while others do it perfect. When i open an app, it appears in the dock for a sec and the dissappears right away. It's really frustrating. I found out that it's not the size of the app or something...

    Classic question

    I got this mac that has OSX 10.3 installed on it. I recently wanted to install good ol' Starcraft again (an OS9 game), but found out that Classic wasn't installed. When i pop in the OSX install CD's i can't choose 'upgrade' in the installation menu because i ran a couple of updates and the...

    Too slow to playback DivX?

    Alright, just installed 256 MB ram in it, so now i have total 288 MB. MPEG plays fine now. But still lots of trouble with DivX and Xvid. It's just too slow and i get the message from ffmpeg "dropped more then 5 seconds, computer too slow?". If i would put OS9 on it, i'd have to create a...

    Too slow to playback DivX?

    Yea i know. It's really tempting to buy a 2nd hand G4 system, but i've promised myself not to spend much money on it. I'll probably do a RAM upgrade but much more... i don't think so.

    Too slow to playback DivX?

    Thanks for the tip man :) SuperTyphoon, i don't need a fast machine. Mainly got it for the purpose of text processing. And maybe watching a video ;)

    Too slow to playback DivX?

    Right. The ram upgrade sounds like a good idea to me. Do i have to order it from that site or can i just throw in any pc100 ram?

    So you think it's a RAM issue, not processing power?

    Multimedia keyboard

    Whoo! I got it sorted out. A friend told me about this neat little program called "DoubleCommand" Download here: http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/ It fixed all my beef with this keyboard. Only the office buttons don't work, but that's ok. The volume buttons, the eject button and the...

    Multimedia keyboard

    The Windows key works fine as the apple key, the control and alt keys work fine too. Apple assesoires are way overpriced, that's why i bought a normal keyboard.

    Too slow to playback DivX?

    Damn. It's a DivX movie in standard DVD resolution with VBR at 1000~1500 kbps. Thanks anyways for the great replies. I got to say that communities like these are hard to find. I put OSX on it because i find it looks pretty and it's just cool. Only use the comp for word processing though...

    Too slow to playback DivX?

    Just a question. I got a G3 now with 233Mhz and 96MB Ram. Installed Mac OSX 10.3.9 on it. When i try to play a DivX movie, it runs at 1 frame per 5 seconds or something. Simply unwatchable. I installed the DivX codec from the official website, but no luck. It plays fine on my PC, but that's a...

    Multimedia keyboard

    It still sucks. The worst part is that the 'home', 'end', 'page up' and 'page down' buttons don't work properly. One of the reasons i got rid of the Apple keyboard was the lack of them.
