Very many thanks to those who have advised me on sound cards -
solution was to get a pair of 'Creative' speakers, sound just fine now:)
More thanks to those who responded to the question floating in front
of the finder icon - particularly Mr Bruce Johnston, boots up just
fine now:)
Now then, an ATI Radeon 7000 card has been installed, replacing the
stock Rage. However, when I play DVDs such as 'the Shining', and yes
of course 'the Matrix', there is some juddering when the Player
remote is displayed on the desktop at the same time as the movie is
playing. The juddering stops when the remote disappears after a
minute or two. Is this normal? Is it a consequence of too much load
on the G3 350Mhz processor? Are there any fixes? All the latest ROMs
etc have been installed from the ATI site. Would I have been better
off buying the 9200?
The G3 B&W has now been upgraded to 1Gb mem, 80gig HDD, a Sony Combo,
Belkin Wi-Fi PCI. This leaves the processor upgrade to sort out. Most
probably will go for DayStar's MacH G4 600Mhz - there seems to be a
lot of sales puff like '8 times faster' etc etc - will it really
bring it up to 'Quicksilver' speeds, ie around 733, 867 Mhz???
Yes I realise some of you will say that I should have gotten a G4 in
the first place! My reason was that I fell in love with a G3 B&W a
few years ago and was not in a financial position to be able to get
one then. Now I have one, and it has been great fun learning a lot
about Macs in this way. I already have a PowerBook G4 1.33Mhz 12",
but that doesn't leave an awful of scope for replacing components and
learning about Macs in this way - which was the reason why I decided
against getting a Mac Mini, but that would have been no where as fun
as upgrading a G3 B&W and learning about Macs in this way. I just
*love* popping open the hatch for a look around and identifying the
innards. Hope this makes sense:)
Very many thanks in advance for your help.
Best wishes,
Myles
