That looks amazing! Do you have the files you used for that?

Mine is just normal :( Decent specs though :cool:

On my iBook G3 I messed with my About This Mac window so much, I even made it say I had a 900GHz processor and 384TB of RAM :D

lol i originally read it as 900mhz with 384mb...
i was like "thats nothing special!!!"

but WOW. i want that!. hope is has a GDDR54^3 GPU and DDR89 at 4THz!

Lol well what you oriaginally read were my real spacs :D

Its easy to change once of the strings files in the loginwindow app so instead of "MB" it says "TB" and so on... In fact, as I am bored with nothing else to do, lets write a tutorial!

Go to System/Library/CoreServices and right click on loginwindow and click "Show Package Contants" then click "English.lproj" then "AboutThisMac.strings" (I think you have to have XCode installed for it to open).
Now, heres the slightly tricky part, make a backup of that file anywhere then open the original (the one inside the loginwindow app), and go down to the bottom, I am gonna change the memory, just as a example, so find this bit:
/* in the final UI with a description of the memory (e.g. "256 MB") */
//"ABOUT_BOX_MEMORY_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Memory: %@";
"ABOUT_BOX_MEMORY_FIELD_FORMAT" = "%@%@";
Then change it to this:
/* in the final UI with a description of the memory (e.g. "256 MB") */
//"ABOUT_BOX_MEMORY_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Memory: %@";
"ABOUT_BOX_MEMORY_FIELD_FORMAT" = "TB";
Now, save the changes and exit, then next time you bring up the About This Mac window, it will say your RAM in TB instead of MB or GB. If you look around that file, you should be able to work out how to change other things, go on, have a go, nothing you can do in that file will change anything outside of the About This Mac box, and if you end up messing it up you always have the bakup.
 
Perhaps a little intimidated by you folks

Still a very useful machine, my smurf will run circles around PCs half its' age.:D
 
I noticed some of you guys have Copyrights from 1983-2008....

I wonder my brand new Mac Pro (Early 2008) still has 1983-2007 on it?

It's completely up to date on all software updates...
 
Decided to test out SP3. No noticeable changes, a tad snappier however.

SP3 is out? I knew they said it was going to be out today, but you know, it's Microsoft we're talking about.:D

Anyway, this is my baby, an iBook G4. I plan to upgrade the RAM when I can afford it. :)

Is it officially out ? Lost track of it a while ago.

Engadget reported that it was out earlier today and their source was this (includes download link from MS).

However it appears to have been delayed...again

You decide how to proceed

Well, as I type this I'm halfway through installing it already, so we'll see how it goes.

EDIT: Well, gotta post some picture. Here's my little "desktop" computer, my iBook G3. (Yes, Tiger really does run great on 256 MB)
