Mark, Please learn your terminology SO-DIMMS are for laptops and tray loading G3 iMac ONLY not desktop machines.

Like i said... it goes like this: I first pulled 4 1GB So-dimm low profile SDRAM modules from a Dell Poweredge 2500 server, and then updated my firmware version from 4.2.8f1 to 5.2.5f1. I restarted, and pressed and held COMMAND+OPTION+P+R. Warning, the PM G5 2003 firmware update only works on the PM G4 sawtooth as far as i know, and on all other sawtooth's i've tried, this is the only lucky one so far. I had to type in an OF command that temporarily wipes out the system info until restart in terminal. Then, once the G5 firmware has been applied and i pressed COMMAND+OPTION+P+R during restart, I then shut it off. I plugged in the 4 1GB Low profile modules, and it started up. I had the Question mark over the folder icon flashing, So I installed the lightest version of Mac OS X that the Application can run on, Mac OS X Jaguar. I installed Q emulator, emulated the (PC only) intel architecture, and I inserted the Boot 132CD. I then took it out, turned everything off in the Jaguar (host) system including finder, and inserted the install disk for Mac OS X Snow Leopard.) I put the guest OS (the one in the emulator) at full screen, and from there, isnatlled Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and since then, updated it to Mac OS X 10.6.3, or build 10D578. -- Sent from my Power mac G4 Sawtooth. -- 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.
