Just returning to this thread, if I'm reading this correctly, the Rage 128 sounds like the best card to have inside your G3 Powermac, would that be right?

What I dont get is, why does having the adapter in the back, suddenly increase the number of resolutions the onboard video can support? I'm still thinking that removing the ram might be a better solution, as I'm still getting windows appearing off screen.

I had considered the MDD :)

Only thing is, I'm not actually using the adaptor. It's plugged in to the back of the Mac, but the monitor is connected to the ati rage. But for some reason, this has fixed the problem. Still tempted to simply remove the vram.

Hey there, I'm in the process of writing a guide for this. You need a system running at least 10.4.11, that last combo update allows you to connect to WPA encrypted networks. But be warned the original airport card is puck with routers and will not connected, even if you have it set to WPA on...

PM8500 and Mac OS 9.2 I think I have it sorted...for some reason if I dragged both monitors on top of one another the display would shrink with a inch thick border around the desktop image. I think this was because the PCI card can to 800x600 and above and the onboard was saying it couldn't. I...

Hmm I tired doing that, but odd things began to happen, I'll give it another go. Btw where do i find "Monitor Mirroring"

Will the machine default to the PCI ATI rage and stop telling me I have 2 monitors? Just it's driving me nuts, opening windows off screen that I can't see.

Thanks for the advice, the more that I have looked in to it. The more I've concluded I've got the best setup I can have, in terms of CPU. Really if I'm after something that will be as quick as my 1.33ghz iBook, I should probably be looking towards a dual core G4 500 or single core 1ghz. If...

But are high speed G3's easy to come by?

I'm pretty sure it is a ATI Rage that i have in the G3, but for some reason I keep thinking I did something with a Voodoo card..I'll know more when I bring it down out the loft. Atm I'd just like to give it a speed increase, atm a G4 500mhz will actually be about the same speed as my Pismo...

First eBay, second was Amazon

Hey Thank you for the info, I will be taking the B/W out of the attic tomorrow and giving it a brush down. Fingers crossed it will work all fine and dandy. Question how easy would it be to source a CPU greater then 500mhz? I have a G4 550mhz for my pismo and after a look online. I concluded...

Update** My second attempt to buy a battery and yet another company emails me to say the item is not in stock, even though, they have it listed on their shop! Do these companies not check their stocks periodically??? ianj - Please let me know how you get on with batteryrefill as this rate, I...

Hey guys I'm thinking of bringing my old B/W out the attic and having a play around with it. Back when it was my main system, I upgraded it to a G4 500 ZIF, dont recall the make. It was a massive improvement over the G3 350mhz, but I'm wondering if there is anything else I can do to improve it...

Please do let us know how it goes. How did you manage to reach them?

Well I've ordered a battery from a company here in the UK. I did order one from ebay, only to have my money refunded a day later. The German based company, gave me a very odd reason for cancelling my order. Perhaps the person was struggling with English, I dont know. But from what I could...

Had anyone had any luck with this? I've tried contacting Batteryrefill.com twice in the past week and not received a single reply from them. I'm in the UK so calling their number would be a little expensive for me. I really would like to get a new battery for my Pismo or at least get the old...

Ill start a new thread soon, asking people to list their wireless setup. Perhaps build a list of compatible routers and cards.

Does it take the original fascia?
