I have to admit it's rather speedy compared to my dual G4/450. Currently I have two 40GB hard drives in it - one with Tiger and one with Leopard. I have a 200GB and a 250GB I could use but I need to back up with is on them first. What is the fastest dual-processor module that will work in...

I got it and I have a question. How do you eject the DVD drive if you don't have an Apple keyboard? I tried the mouse button without success.

I'm not a big fan of it either. The recycling center is run by the county as part of the "convenience center" - AKA a place to drop off your trash - and doesn't have a building to offer things for sale.

I'll work on the price next weekend. Considering I'm not supposed to pick up anything over 20 pounds for a couple of weeks (recovering from hernia surgery) I'm not in a rush to get it right now. It's the first time that I have seen a Quicksilver at the booth. There were some Sawtooth G4s, a...

Yes. Not sure which one. Didn't see a fan or an ATI logo on it.

Yesterday at the flea market I found a Quicksilver G4/867 with memory and a hard drive. I don't know the amount of memory or the size of the hard drive, only that they are installed. They want $35 for it. Currently I have a Sawtooth G4/450 dual processor with 1.75GB memory and I'm debating on...

I have a TrendNet-based card in mine, but I haven't used it in a while. The chipset on it is a Realtek RTL8185. While 10.4 doesn't support it out of the box Realtek has drivers for it on its web site. Once those are installed it works quite well.

I had something like that with my first iMac. I also remember just how slow it was. :)

I think I got all of the needed kexts on there. Doesn't seem any faster though.

Success! I updated the firmware, then used LeopardAssist. It took a bit longer than expected (almost an hour), but it's running Leopard now. Currently it's installing updates.

I thought I did that years ago. I'll try the firmware update when I get home from work.

The message is: panic(cpu 0 caller 0x0036C4F8): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"PowerMac3,1\".\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1228.0.2/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp:1378 Edit: I also typed in the commands listed above with the same result.

Initially it was a single 400mhz processor. Later I replaced it with a dual G4/450 from a gigabit.

It's got the bog standard ATI Rage 128 video card in it, a Western Digital 80GB IDE hard disk, and a generic DVD+-RW drive. As far as I know it has the most recent firmware, but I'll check again when I get home.

I was setting up my Dual Sawtooth G4/450 again and currently have MacOS 9.2.2/10.4.11 on it. Out of curiosity, I was trying to get Leopard to run on it with LeopardAssist. I managed to actually get the Leopard DVD to boot, but it KP'ed with a message that it was an unsupported system. I'll be...

I normally draw a quick diagram of the screw locations of a laptop and tape them on as I go. Helps a lot.

I found MacSoft Shadow Warrior at a local thrift store for $1.99. Now to get my G4 set up again to actually run the thing...

Picked up an older HP Vectra. Not for the machine itself, which didn't work, but for its memory. It had 3 512MB PC133 DIMMs in it. They are now in my dual G4/450 for a total of 1.75GB. Not bad for $10!

It was a guess. :)

Token Ring network card? What does the D-sub connector on the end look like?
