Re: Boot chime on G4
I've tried resetting the sound preference with external speakers removed - but with no effect. Did you pull the external speaker jack out ?

RE: Uses for a Wallstreet
That is his ebay id. I've never bought any Wally bits from him, but I have bought a couple of Lombard ones... he is just about the only seller I've seen who had the Lombard HDD tray and cable. Reasonable pricing and he will discount shipping on multiple items.

Re: Uses for a Wallstreet
hook it up to the stereo and use it for iTunes music streaming. I had a powerbook 3400c for internet radio streaming in the basement, that I just upgraded to my old G4 tower since we got a new intel mini.If I ever get power to my garage I might put the 3400 out there since I have an airport card in it(scavenged from an old graphite base station) -sam Hello Everyone.. Thanks for all the help in the past. Anyone make any suggestions on what I can use a Wallstreet for? Think the battery is shot, but still runs well.

PM G5 graphics card upgrade
Hi All I have a PM G5 Dual 2.7 8G RAM. It has a Radeon 9600 128 MB VRAM chip set ATY,RV351 I have a VIZIO 36 LCD display. I would like to know if an upgrade of the card would result in better video, I only use it to watch DVDs I do not play any games. So if I would benefit by upgrading my card what should I try to buy, cheap I hope, also if an upgrade is the thing to do then I guess I could use the 9600 in my G4 MDD dual 1.25. Or butcher it and put it in one of the Cubes???

There are two steps up available to you, the Radeon 9800 and Radeon X800. I'm not familiar with any NVidia options; perhaps someone else can address that. Flashed PC cards are also an option; according to some the flashing process is simple, but my understanding was that it was pretty difficult. If you do buy it from someone else, make sure you can return it if it's incompatible with your system. But this is ignoring one problem with your question; what exactly is wrong with the video you're seeing on your TV? Is it blurry, are there anomalies on the screen, is it too dim, etc? Have you hooked up a dedicated DVD player up to the TV to get a sense of what the TV is capable of? The problem could also be unrelated to the video card; if you're using an analog cable, you could see a significantly inferior picture. It could also be the TV itself, or perhaps the input that you're using. Perhaps you just need to change some settings in System PreferencesDisplay. There are many variables to consider. So to review, it would be helpful if we knew: 1) which connector on your Radeon 9600 are you using, 2) if you are using any adapters between the computer and the TV, 3) which input on your TV you're using, 4) what kind of cable are you using and most importantly, 5) what's wrong with the picture you're looking at.
