    PowerMac G4, recommended AGP card?

    So, a friend has this G4 I was going to help him with as the Ati Rage Pro 128 (Apple 630-3075) and/or OS9 doesn't seem to like any of 7 tested monitors. Full HD resolution is only active with VGA hookup, when using the DVI connector there's even less usable resolutions even if using the same...

When I turn it on, it will make the chimes sound, the fans will turn on (not at full speed), the hard drive will start seeking like it normally...

    Hello everyone. It's been a (very long) while since I've logged onto MacRumors, but I have a question regarding a PCI USB card. I have a PCI USB 2.0 card that is made by NEC and has an NEC chipset in it, and I was wondering will it or should it work in a Power Mac G4 MDD model? Everywhere I...

    Install Leopard on PowerMac G4

    I've just installed Tiger (10.4) on a PowerMac G4 with 800Mhz. But now I'm looking to install Leopard (10.5) on my PowerMac. I've got the DMG installation file burned on a DL-DVD, but the installation keeps giving the same message that tells me it can't be installed because of my hardware...
