    PowerMac G5 Dual Core 2.0GHz GPU

    I just ordered a 128mb GeForce 6600. Since everything I do with my powermac cluster is CPU based, the gpu doesn't have to be too good.

    PowerMac G5 Dual Core 2.0GHz GPU

    I recently acquired a Dual Core 2.0GHz PowerMac G5, but it didn't come with a graphics card. What's the best place to look to find and buy a graphics card for this machine? It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just enough to run 10.4.11 and classic mode. Thanks!

    LC 520 hardware issues

    Hello people of 68kMLA, I just got an LC 520 in pretty good condition. The logic board has been recapped, it has upgraded RAM, and a larger hard drive. I am having a couple issues with it, though: I took the back panel off to look at the motherboard, and now it won't go back on. It sounds like...

    Upgrading my Performa 6360 with L2 slot CPU and Ethernet card

    Thankfully my QS is pretty quiet most of the time, if I can get the MDD for a low price or free I'll still get it just for fun, though.

    Upgrading my Performa 6360 with L2 slot CPU and Ethernet card

    Thanks for the reply. I already have QIII and UT99 on my dual G4, just thought it might be fun to try to get them to run on the Performa. I actually found some fractal iterating and rendering software for OS9 that takes advantage of the Dual CPUs on the G4, pretty neat stuff, I may post some of...

    Upgrading my Performa 6360 with L2 slot CPU and Ethernet card

    Thanks for the reply! After reading yours and others and other stuff online, I think I will splurge and get a G3. At the computer place I get my parts, there's also a couple Sawtooth G4s and (I think) an MDD in the back, I can't quite remember. They've been out in the weather and rained on for...

    Upgrading my Performa 6360 with L2 slot CPU and Ethernet card

    Thank you for the reply. Based on what you and others have said, I think I'll get a CommSlot II ethernet card. I also am able to get a beige G3 for around $70, so I think I'll get that instead of going for the upgrade. As for graphics, I may go for an upgraded graphics card, but for the G3, not...

    Upgrading my Performa 6360 with L2 slot CPU and Ethernet card

    I have a Performa 6360 with a PPC 603e running at 166MHz with the original 1.2GB HDD and 40MB RAM on MacOS 7.5.3 (fresh install from the disc that came with it). I want to speed it up a little bit and install MacOS 9.1 to play Quake III and UT99 on LAN parties, but still be able to dual boot...
