I was reading this page and well Somthing does not ad upp. > http://www.macgurus.com/beta/showrampage.cgi?mbppcg3desk.html I have a G3 300MHz minitower.
This is what they say about the MT: Note: All Power Macintosh G3 All-in-one computers and (platinum) Power Macintosh G3 300Mhz and 333Mhz Desktop/Minitower computers have revision 2 logic boards. This is what my system profiler says: ROM Revision $77D.40F2 AND Slot F1 Display card Card type: display Card name: ATI,mach64_3DU Card model: ATI,GT-B Card ROM #: 113-XXXXX-1.1 Card revision: 154 Card vendor ID: 1002 VRAM size: 6 MB and Internal ATA 0 ID = 0 CD-ROM drive HUMM what does this say? I assume that i have a rev1 board (for better or...) but i know nothing about this display card? And is the Power Macintosh G3 300Mhz called "Platinum"? I was planing to go for a new IBM ATA 7200rmp 40gig HD! Will that be a problem What will i need to do? > This is just some of the info from > http://www.macgurus.com/beta/showrampage.cgi?mbppcg3desk.html > this is an excellent resource, esp if you dont have a manual/user's guide > (like me). A nice diagram is a key feature. Thanks macgurus. > I've noted the designations of logic board revision as "A,B,C" and > "1,2,3" seem to be interchangeable.
