I have a question about the reliability of some Macs. I have two
G4 Cube 500MHz and two Tibook 500MHz machines. The Cubes seem to
be somewhat problem prone compared to the TiBooks. Both have the
same 10.4.11 the Cubes have 1.5 GB Ram and the TiBooks have 1 GB
Ram. Otherwise AFAICT all are the same, yet the TiBooks run
along with out any hitch but the Cubes at least once a week have
an issue' Anyone know maybe why?
> "an issue"?
Just kinda unstable compared to the TiBooks.
Check the system log.
Many times they'll have trouble with the FW ports, a real battle to
get them recognized,
Firewire can be twitchy. You using known good cables etc? And when
you have problems, what is being thrown into the system log?
also some times don't want to boot, in which case I reseat RAM and
video cards and up it'll come up.
That's odd. Are the slots clean? Heat issues?
