Cars never break down, TVs never fail, VCRs never chew up tapes, toasters never toast unevenly..etc.... Considering WHAT computers to and the complexity, I'd say its much more reliable than any of the stuff above. Incidently, my G3 has kernel panics more often than my XP box has blue...

I see, sorry, I missunderstood as well :) Ok I thought he meant that the final Xbox360 was a G5 - see helps if I read carefully next time ;)

Hi convert, maybe i'm still missing the point. What does a game console have to do with anything though? I posted the above link to show that the console's processor has nothing to do with the current G5 (as the previous poster had made a comment to warrant my link). The links you sent me...

Um...its not running on a Mac G5. Its running on a multicore PowerPC chip that has nothing to do with Apple so your xbox statement is really meaningless. Guess you had nothing else to come up with. http://lowendmac.com/musings/05/0513.html

Well I've never run 1600x1200 on a 17" CRT but I was running that res on a 19" CRT which is 18" viewable which is not far from a 17" LCD :) So give me a 17" widescreen and I could be happy - as long as its got some decent resolution.

You know, I was wondering that a little while back as well. I mean why not offer a 17" widescreen with higher resolution. I'd go for one of those - or two :)

Kubbie, I dont want to sound negative towards your post but I dont think you've used windows in a while. Maybe 95/98 was the last? Drag and drop works fine in windows. I just went into IE, opened up google, dragged the google logo on the desktop which saved it as an image. I opened word and...

I'm not a mac expert but dealing with many PCs I'd say that it might be a bad piece of memory OR it may need slightly higher DDR voltage to operate. I have had memory in the past (lower quality ones usually) that needed 2.7v to run right but in this case its not an issue of instability - youre...

Granted I'm not a mac guru but I do support macs and PCs on our network and while I'm still learning OSX (I wont even bother speaking of OS9 just as I wouldnt bother speaking of win98), I have to honestly say that I dont think its quite as stable as Win2k or XP - at least not in our environment...

Maybe the mini would make a fine server but I think the point here is that for the same $$, its possible to have a more upgradable system to act as a server. Speed is probably not a main concern. I mean even a G3 can serve files fast enough over a network. So really, the concerns are...

I cant seem to get an answer from anyone, at least not a clear one. I have an old B&W G3 400Mhz with 512mb RAM which I use more for testing and such. My main box is my P4 box which is running SCSI U160 drives. I recently upgraded my boot drive from a 10k to a 15K. I wish to use that 18gig 10K...

Laptop drives come in sizes up to 80gigs. Maybe even larger who knows...which is not that bad for a webserver for example. I'm also sure that there are uses for having a a raid 5 setup in a 1u chassis. If it was available, then people would buy it even if it cost 2x more than other 1u. Price...

If a hard drive was a hard drive, then 1u rackmound servers could easily be populated with tons of 2.5" laptop drives and then configure them as raid 5..etc. Just think how cool that would be. The fact that 2.5" laptop drives are not used in servers or at least of any kind that I know of...

I'm more a PC guy than a MAC guy but this is my take on things. The Mini may make a good server if speed is not an issue. Afterall its probably going to be serving files and that hard disc is going to be slow so clock speed is not an issue. A 200Mhz computer could be a faster fileserver than a...

Hi everyone, thanks for the quick replies. I'll try unchecking the 'fix permissions' options and seeing if that helps much. Other than that, I cant think of why it would be so slow. Also I guess I'll just stick to carbon copy since most are saying there is no speed difference between it and...

Ok I'll be honest. I'm a PC guy starting out in the mac world - or well starting in OSX, not really macs. Today I was using the above software to image a 6 gigabyte boot partition from one mac to another via Firewire. The source was a G4 733 with 1gig ram and the destination was a dual 1gig with...

Thanks for the quick repy. I'm going to go check that out right now :)

I wish to use a B&W G3 running 10.2 to serve as an internet sharing box but in conjunction, I'd like to be able to limit certain mac addresses. I have a few bandwidth hogs on the network that I'd like to crimp down. Any free tools for the bandwidth limiting that you know of? Thanks in...

Thanks guys for replying so soon. I'm going to check out both suggestions. I'm not an experienced linux user but I know the basics so I'll probably be able to figure things out. I also very basic cisco IOS knowledge and configuring experience. Being mostly an NT/2K admin, I'm used to having a...

Hi everyone, I'm primarily a PC guy and mostly windows. I'm interested in replacing my linksys router with a cheap linux box I was going to build from parts I had lying around and make it into a router using software such as shorewall. Instead of using the PII 266Mhz, 192mb ram, 4.5gig...
