g4 mac

Hi, So I have an original PP G4 Mac mini that was given to me for free. Its old but very cool to look at, and has more collectors value to me rather than usability. It runs tiger, but is password locked from the previous owner. I tried to install Leopard on it last night to wipe the password...

I got some questions for those who run Leopard on low end G4 machines or upgraded to G4, G3 machines (under 1ghz)... I know of people who upgraded beige G3s to leopard by installing a G4 card. How is overall performance on a low end G4 doing daily tasks such as web browsing (leopard webkit...

I don't currently own any G4's but TenfourFox is slow on them from YouTube videos ive seen. Only recently has YouTube been possible on later G4 macs on that browser but their are noticeable frame drops. Webkit plays YouTube flawlessly at 360p, as seen in many demonstrations. Is Webkit still...

Today i was - again - surprised by my 14" iBook, especially by the temperatures it develops. I was trying to install the newest possible version of Eclipse for Tiger (3.8.1) and had problems downloading it because the download process in TFF took about 80% of CPU. Then the iBook didn't react to...

Good afternoon, I recive the community of MacRumors to help me relive my old powerbook, I want to know if anyone has an idea of the reason for not starting, I have a powerbook G4 1.25Ghz 15 "(FW800 - Al) I've been this week trying to revive it and sometimes I'm lucky and it turns on the system...

Hi everybody, I've got a powermac g4 which has installed OS9. 2(.2?) and OS X on the Same Volume. Unfortunetely, osx wont Boot and just shows up UniNEnet putToSleep - disabled Cell clock in the Unix shell. Also, booting from a OSX cd does not work for some reason. Can someone tell me how to...

Hi folks. I got myself a Powermac G4 "digital audio" (466 MHz, 768MB RAM, ATI RAGE128) off Freecycle, as well as a nice 20" acrylic ADC Cinema Display. The thing is, the hard drive has been erased on the Mac - and it's only got a CD drive. I believe there are some boxed versions of OSX 10.3 and...

Hi everyone, I recently bought a dual processor 533Mhz PowerMac G4 to upgrade and resell. However, when looking on eBay to get an idea of what it's worth, I found that there were no listings at all for this model. There were some for the single processor version for average prices but none for...

Currently running Tiger on a 12"G4PB 1.5GHz/1.25Gb. TenFourFox is a little slow. In the opinion of those who have tried it, would it be worth moving to Leopard in order to be able to use Roccat? TIA, Stuart.

Hello, I have a problem. I've got a B&W G3 and I've heard it's possible to swap the CPU with PM G4 Yikes!. So, few weeks later I've purchased the latter one, swapped CPUs, powered my B&W on and... does't work, I get 5 beeps and that's all. I've made some research and as far as I know I need to...
