    Does the DP G4 800mhz Quicksilver use thermal pads or paste?

    Yeah my Pismo had one basically adhered to the heatsink but i scraped it off and dissolved the rest with alcohol lol

    Does the DP G4 800mhz Quicksilver use thermal pads or paste?

    Does a pad need to be used if you just replace it with thermal paste? I did that in my Pismo and it seems to be working fine 😛

    G3 tower, OrangePC only works on loaded system when on bottom.

    Haha understandable, I probably wouldn’t want to give mine up either if I found one 😛 I finally got a Wings card so I’m stoked enough about that 😃

    G3 tower, OrangePC only works on loaded system when on bottom.

    Is the card with heatsink so heavy that it’s pulling on the PCI slot? That would be my first guess. Is the Sonnet card a Tempo by chance? I hear G3 rev C ROM doesn’t like those. Though if you get sick of fiddling with the OrangePC I’d be more than willing to buy it from you and save you the...

    iso image from OS X "Netboot Server" disc??

    So you have like, physical CDs? The fact that they’re for a netboot server leads me to believe they can’t be booted on the hardware locally, rather that they’re meant to be used with a netboot server. I bet you can find images of the regular installers on the Macintosh Garden though. I think I...

    Wings card. Performance enhancement?

    UPDATE: Moving the monitor from the Rage 128 to the integrated Rage II completely solved the chop issue. I have not tried two monitors at once yet, but I doubt it’ll make a difference. Thanks to @Phipli for the suggestion. To wrap up for those of you googling in the future with a problem like...

    Wings card. Performance enhancement?

    So you think running two displays and just using AVP, et. al on the Rage II’s monitor would alleviate some of the chop? That’s what I’m thinking, I’ll have to try it when I’m home next and I’ll report back.

    Wings card. Performance enhancement?

    At first I had nothing plugged into the onboard Rage II but I quickly realized that *something* needs to be connected to the socket in order for the video in on the Wings to become available. If I remove the adapter, audio works but video does not. I haven’t tried removing the Rage 128 and using...

    Wings card. Performance enhancement?

    Yes, I’m using the Rage 128 as my primary display with no display connected to the onboard Rage II. I haven’t tried it yet, but do you think having a second monitor connected to the Rage II would help? Like if I ran AVP on the monitor being served by the Rage II so the CPU doesn’t have to send...

    Wings card. Performance enhancement?

    Hello friends. I have finally acquired a Wings A/V card for my Beige G4 with the intent to play PS1 games and capture ancient VHS tapes. It works, however I notice the video is very choppy when viewing with AVP; I tried HackTV and BTV(sp?) and they too work, but with little improvement on the...

    14943 Vincent 601 PCI Card

    I picked up a lot a few summers ago that included a couple of Sawteeth, a couple UPS units, a whole bunch of Lacie D2s, and a TON of A/V equipment that includes some Vincent cards and some kind of Media100 breakout. I guess it belonged to an ad agency in my state before changing hands because...
