Re: Re: 2004/week 10 dual G5 with one cpu dead

2013-06-22 Thread Adam Vaughn 
The only dual core G5 CPUs were used in the very last series of Power Mac G5, offered in single processor 2 and 2.3GHz, as well as the dual processor quad 2.5GHz. The mid 2004 PowerMac G5s used dual single core processors, offered as dual 1.8, dual 2.0, and dual 2.5GHz (a single processor 1.8GHz model was offered starting later that year). I've heard of dual processor PMG5s running on only one processor before. Has the OP tried running AHT or ASD yet?-AdamAdam VaughnCollector of old computers, video game systems, radios and other electronic equipment...Visit my page at http://www.electronixandmore.com/adam/index.htmlOn 06/22/13, Kris Tilfordktilfo...@cox.net wrote:I'm not positive of this, but I'm about 95% sure your problem is different than you think.These G5 PowerMacs came in two distinct configurations that both used the term dual.There were earlier versions with one dual-core CPU, and later versions with two single-core CPUs, and BOTH these are referred to by Apple a dual. I believe your earlier 2004 PowerMac G5 has one dual-core CPU rather than two single-core CPUs.

 Hello everyone. I recently picked up a Dual 1.0GHz MDD G4, which is
 currently equipped with a (stock?) Radeon 9000 card. Since it's
 equipped with Leopard, I'd like to upgrade the video card. I have a
 933MHz QS2002 which I've upgraded with a flashed GeForce 6200 card.
 Some sources I've checked say that the 6200 doesn't work at all with
 an MDD G4, while others say that it does, if the proper pin
 connections are cut (which it appears is the case, since the card
 works just fine in my QS2002). Which one is correct? If not, why
 wouldn't the 6200 work in my MDD? And finally, would it hurt to try
 the 6200 in the MDD anyway? As usual, thanks in advance.


 According to Mactracker, these were the stock video cards for the  
 MDDs:
 NVIDIA GeForce4 MX, GeForce4 Ti, or ATI Radeon 9000 Pro

 Don't know a lot about flashed cards, but they are sometimes the ones
 you have to tape out certain connectors to get them to work. I'd be
 careful about just trying it, without a guru's blessing ...

 Hi Adam and Bill,
 I have a flashed GeForce 6200 (256Mb model) in my QuickSilver 2002  
 and an
 identical unit in my 1.6GHz G5. The QS one is indeed taped at the  
 proper
 contacts. The tape came off of the second one, making it  
 incompatible with a
 4x AGP, but worked fine for the 8x G5. Nice cards for a reasonable  
 rate.
 Best regards,
 Dana

Thanks for the info so far. My main concern in all of this is hoping  
that either video card or computer wouldn't be fried if I were to  
install the 6200 in the MDD. The 6200 was purchased on eBay from  
mac_geniuses, who sold it as modified for use in Macs; it works  
perfectly in the QS2002 when running OS X, but the resolution for OS 9  
must be set from OS X (a rather finicky process). All the eBay ads  
I've seen for Mac-type 6200s state explicitly that they work in  
neither MDD or FW800 G4s; however, LowEndMac states that they will  
work with all AGP Macs once modified; otherwise, it won't boot. Quite  
confusing, really...
