    Odd Hardware Issue MDD G4 - DVI No Video

    I've been having issues with DVI output on an MDD Single 1.0Ghz Geforce 4MX system that I picked up recently. The machine boots up properly, but just doesn't ever output anything to the display. When trying with graphics cards with VGA outputs, the machine works flawlessly over VGA but never...

    An interesting video card expiriment.

    I have an interesting question for you all. I have an interest in how video card support actually works after Mac OS is booted. OS9 likely won’t work this way, but I can’t help wondering: If you have a Mac version 9200 pci which seem plentiful and cheap, can you use a better video card in the...

    Best way to revive an MDD with a dead power supply?

    I just picked up a dual 1.25 MDD for free from a friend who had it sitting in their basement, last used in 2010. I brought it home and tried starting it, but the power button lights up, then dies. Based on some googling, this seems to be a sign of a dead PSU, which seems fairly common on these...

    Review on *upgrading* to a DP 1.5ghz (7455) MDD

    I haven't started a thread on macrumors since 2010, but, well. This thread is simply to explain my experience with acquiring an MDD and using it as my main mac. I wanted to have a MDD for years. Even after acquiring a dual 1.6ghz 7447 upgrade for my QS 2001 G4 ( which already had a single...

    Enable Nap script for OS X 10.5

    Hi all. I dug my Dual 1.25 MDD out of the closet. I missed it terribly. Anyway, after having it powered on for 15 minutes, I noticed the temps creeping up toward 55°C and soon realized I didn't have CHUD Tools installed. So, I installed version 3.5.2, and then tried installing the Enable Nap...

    My MDD dual 1.25 has been freezing a lot recently To start with it would freeze when I was watching a youtube video and had spotify running in the background .. assumed maybe this was too labour intensive but have since seen 'performance' videos of G4's doing much heavier multitasking so think...
