Hi everyone, I'm on a dual 2 Ghz G5 with an nVidia 6800 Ultra 256MB, and was wondering if there is any utility out there to tweak anti-aliasing for games in 10.4 or 10.5 on this card. I've looked all over but only found a way to add FSAA using OpenGL Profiler, and you have to add the changes...

Hi all, I'm using PageMaker 7 on G4 in OS 9.2.2, and am getting an error when exporting PM files to PDF - "Cannot open the Distiller. This may be caused by not enough virtual memory...." or similar. I adjusted memory settings on PM and Distiller 5 but same issue. I've been using the Acrobat...

Yeah, I always install the OS 9 drivers. I just did the CPU-swap/software install option - works. Thanks for your help!

I have an old TurboTV card that works in OS 9, and have some old VHS tapes I want to transfer. I know there are better alternatives but I can't afford them right now. Besides, once I get the VHS's done, I probably won't use the card that much. Best to use what's avilable if possible...

Hello All, I am running a Sonnet Encore 1.6 Ghz upgrade on my Digital Audio G4 - card was installed under OS X 10.4.11. I want to be able to boot into OS 9.2.2 but can't. Boot screen gets almost to the end then freezes, with or without extensions running. I would greatly appreciate any...

That's what I thought. Thanx anyway.

Thanks much for the info. The system still does everything I need it to, except that some things are a bit choppy (video, menus, etc). But would adding another 500MB of RAM make that much difference in a system with 1GB already?

Hi All, I'm having problems with iTunes video playback under 10.4.11. I'm on a 733Mhz Digital Audio G4, which I realize is somewhat below the iTunes specs, but I was wondering if there is anything I can do to get rid of the choppiness in video playback. My machine has a PATA drive but it is...

Yes indeed, thank you muchly! Will check it out. :D

Hello All, I'm looking to quiet down my ol' reliable Digital Audio G4, and would like to get some opinions on which are the best 120mm case fans for this machine. The stock one that's in there now is wearing out and really getting on my nerves. I've been looking around, but could really use...

Hi All, I just bought the Doom 3 DVD and installed it - and it starts, the screen goes black, then quits. I don't have the crash log in front of me, but I think it says something about the .PK files (?) Anyway if anyone has had this kind of a problem, any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hello, all. :) I am having a problem with a Seritek/1S2 SATA card in my Gigabit Ethernet G4. I was trying to reinstall the card's firmware, and got a kernel panic during installation. Now when I start the machine with the card inside, I get an open firmware startup screen, which is frozen and...

It's mainly the slideshow style games I'm wondering about, since they're pre-rendered and weren't designed for 16:1 monitors. :)

Hi, all. I'm looking at buying a new LCD monitor, and have a question about how some old games would work on it. I've read that on most widescreen LCD monitors, older, "slideshow" games like Myst and Riven get stretched horizontally across the screen because of the monitor's aspect ratio. Is...

For the most part it runs great - just rather choppy in some newer games. I've been looking at the 9800 for a long time, but didn't know if the 2X graphics on my machine would be a bottleneck.

Actually I looked at that one. I wasn't sure it was too relevant since the Quicksilver is (I think) a 4X machine.

Hi all, I'm thinking of upgrading the Radeon 8500 in my Gigabit ethernet (1.5Ghz) G4 to a 9800 Pro. I've looked all over for comments on whether or not this card gives much better performance than the 8500 on an AGP 2X machine, but haven't found much. Can anyone give me an idea as to whether...

It there any way to spin down one internal hard drive and not all others? I have two drives in my Gigabit Ethernet G4, one of which I only need to have on when backing up. The drives are on two different busses. Is there a utility that does this? Should I just get an external drive case? Is it...

I recently had a power surge (or something) that threw my Gigabit Ethernet G4 for a loop. After reinstalling firmware all over the machine, everything works - except for the connection between my Seritek 1S2 SATA card and the IDE drive it was connected to. On the internal bus the drive works...

It's slow even with minimum settings. I asked ATI if it was possible to force the in-game color depth to 16-bit to see if that would help, but he said that was controlled by the game. :rolleyes:
