Not true. I bought a set of four 16MB sticks from him several years ago and he told me once that he sold some on eBay for big dollars.

To see what model that G5 actually is, pull the metal side panel off and inside near the bottom will be a label (in small print) that lists the model and the factory specs.

Hmmm. All four cores on my Quad run at near 100% all the time and the fans never speed up much unless the room temp goes to 80, then they will speed up. But never to full bore except during a KP. My experience with the G5 is that they are much quieter than an MDD, for example (and I've...

I'm no G5 expert, though there are two of them here, but as I recall from Macworld benchmarks the 2.7 was faster at cpu type tasks than the 2.3 DC (and quad?). However, with the slower Ram it's probably not up to the newer models for other tasks. Not to mention the more reliable LCS on the...

Very nice conquest, especially at that price.

Anyone looking for a IIfx Rom Simm, Mike Day has one for sale at: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/lemswap/WOe8NtwkFaI

Good to hear that at least one of those cards works. If the others work maybe you can sell a couple and recoup the mailing cost.

I happen to think Bean is a decent word processor and it's free. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of MS Word but is more than adequate for most uses. You can fine it, and other free software, at : http://opensourcemac.org/

The only MDD I ever had (the 1.42GHz dual processor model) was pretty loud, louder in fact than either of the G5 towers here. I never measured the power consumption.

$20 for one of those cards is way too much. I have 4 of them that all say MAC on them; you can have all 4 for the price of shipping. PM if you want them. No idea if they work.

Thanks for the feedback. I cleaned the one roller I can get at to no effect. Will have to do some disassembly to do more.

The Laserwriter 16/600 here has a problem with "ghosting" on print pages. The manual says to print a few pages and the ghosting should disappear, but that hasn't worked. Changing toner cartridges has no effect. Anyone have other suggestions?

A dramatic improvement in 17.0 from 10.0.11 in Sunspider on the G4 Powerbook.....1761 vs 2094, ie,8.4%. Not so dramatic on the G5...795 vs 818 (G5 Quad). Very nice work!

I have an 8*24GC card, driver version 7.0.1, in my IIfx running 7.6.1. According to TattleTech the IIfx is booted in 32 bit mode, and the 8*24GC works fine, though I can't tell you if acceleration is working.

In addition to all of the above, the 16/600 has two Ram slots for a max of 24MB, space and cable for an internal HD, and an HDI30 port for an external SCSI HD. Just in case someone wanted to go wild with the printer.

Congrats on that conquest! Those are great printers and built to last. I have a spare 8MB Simm pulled from my 16/600 when I upgraded it to 24MB. It's yours for the mailing cost if you want it.

I don't know about earlier PPC machines, but 9.2.2 boots and runs fine on an 8600/300 with the standard 604ev cpu.

If someone is really looking for a Quad G5, Richard Martin over on Lemswap has a couple for less than $250, shipped.

AFAIK the 8600/9600 cards are interchangeable but the 604ev cards in the faster models of the 8600/9600 will not work in the 8500/9500. That being said, the Sonnet G3/G4 cards MAY work in any of the four models.

Did that card come with the two Simms or did you get them elsewhere? Those are 64 pin Simms, Apple part number 333-0167 (I think) and seem to be hard to find. Would love to get a couple for my 8-24GC (and no, the IIfx 64 pin Ram Simms do NOT work; I've tried).
