I just got a 1.8Ghz, G5 for $45.00, from a government auction. It's one of the original G5's with a 900Mhz bus, but it has only 512M of memory and it's missing its hard drive and graphics card.
Getting the memory (8 gigs) will be easy, so will the hard drive. I found the mounting screws for the spare HD hidden inside the case. Currently, I got the G5 running using an external firewire HD, and a Radeon 9200 PCI in one of the 100Mhz PCI-X slots. Is there anyone selling AGP x8 Pro cards for the G5? OWC appears sold out. Also, would the Radeon PCI card run better in the 133mhz slot? Is the Radeon currently running at 33Mhz or 66Mhz in its current slot? Any suggestions for upgrades? - Ron. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
