  • New machine.... Again (Yes, I have serious issues)

    My second Apple laptop; Introducing..... THE iBook G4!

    This is the A1054 model; 12.1 inch screen, 1.2ghz CPU, 256mb built in RAM, and most importantly to me, a combo CD/DVD drive. It's slightly scratched, but with some cleaning it should look pretty good. The hard drive also functions, unlike the G4 PowerMac.....


    The battery life is awful according to the seller, but with how laptops this age are, I'm not surprised. It'll gladly run off AC though.

    The seller of this machine also offered me a few other surprises which I will reveal soon! (I have SERIOUS issues that should be diagnosed with a mental health specialist, and probably a money management teacher)

    Correction: This is actually the 800mhz model :(

    But the ram has been hugely upgraded so I can't complain

    New Machine: Power Macintosh G4 Graphite

    Came with a weird amount of RAM (64+128+256=448), sadly the 256 stick appears to be faulty. Case is also in horrid condition (broken foot and super dirty). Will begin some TLC shortly and begin investigating what'll be needed to test this thoroughly.

    This is only my 3rd mac EVER

    I'll be on the lookout for a couple sticks, I'll need a lot for both this and my 2 iBooks currently sitting in a Japanese warehouse (coming soon)

    @Vacaneu - it should just take regular PC100 memory. I usually just find some PC133 on eBay (because it runs cooler and has overclocking headroom), it's super cheap. Really a pair of 256MB or 512MB modules and you should be fine. :)
