Re: MDD just shuts down by itself opinions please.
I had a quick silver do this to me. It was a bad power supply. Check if you can hear any arcing going on where the cable goes into the machine. If so, you PSU has had it. Also sometimes the power cable used to work itself loose, which probably ended up killing the power supply in the first place. Quick Silvers were known for this.

Re: Thinking about a quicksilver...
I always advise people to avoid the Quicksilver. They seem to be the ones that suffer dead power supply problem. Particularly the 733mhz like I have which is now a door stop. Just go on ebay and see how many you find described as: parts only or won't power up or powers up then shuts down I'd go for the MDD every time, but if you have to get the QS, go for 900mhz and above. just my 2p worth.

Re: G4 MDD or Quicksilver?
I've had 2 Quicksilvers and two MDDs. They are both fine machines, but there are a lot of quicksilvers (particularly 733mhz) that seem to develop power supply problems. It is a known problem and you can find a whole load of people selling spare QS cases and motherboards on ebay as a result. I have not heard of this problem on the MDD as of yet, and for this reason, I would suggest the MDD. I'd go for the dual processor, but then I do a lot of graphics. On Feb 20, 2009, at 08:38 am, lrbarrios wrote: I've recently purchased an Apple 17 Studio Display with an ADC connector. I was originally thinking of hooking this up to a PowerMac G3 BW 350MHz.

It seemed like alot of money to hook this bad boy up to a computer that I paid $10 for. I haven't even used the G3 BW yet and now I'm exploring another alternative... getting a G4. :) I've been watching eBay. There are so many out there to choose from. I've pretty much set a minimum configuration that I'll consider. The single processors are cheap, but I'm afraid that if I got one of those that I'd use it for awhile and then lust for a dual processor. Might as well just get the DP to start with. 867MHz, 512MB (with available slots), 0GB hard drive (I've got drives laying around), DVD burner, AND it MUST, of course, have an ADC connector on the video card. DVI as a second connector would be preferred over VGA. Dual display capability. Now I just need to come up with a maximum price (including shipping) that I should consider. Any suggestions there? I've noticed that, for obvious reasons, the DPs get the most attention from bidders. I've already been sniped in the last few seconds by someone who had a larger wad of cash than I did. And if you were one of those snipers, then congratulations... you got a very nice machine. I just wish it was being shipped to my house. :) Now, about the subject of this post: MDD or Quicksilver. I kinda prefer the look of the Quicksilver over the MDD. I've read that the MDD is nicknamed 'Wind Tunnel', but that there was a firmware update that may have fixed that problem. I'm setting up a little computer room in the house and the last thing I need is more noise (except for my music) and heat in here. Currently (I just counted) there are 18 computers in here (and that doesn't count laptops and the Kaypro II 'cause it won't power up right now). Of course, they won't all be powered on at once, but the potential is there. The G4 might be put into service as a server of sorts, so it would be powered on 24/7. Here's the questions: Other than the look (and sound) of the two lines, is there any real difference in performance of two identically configured systems? Did both lines have video cards that supported ADC and dual display. Everymac.com doesn't show the video connection types, but does make a note about the stock card's ability to do dual displays. Many times, however, the eBay machines have upgraded/ different video cards (in that era). Which video cards should I be looking for? I'm sure they're both fine machines. I just wanted to hear from some actual owners. Thanks. Oh, and if you have one to sell, let me know -- I really hate playing the auction game.

External FW drive mounts on SOME machines not others

I put two 250-gig hard drives in it and maxed out the memory at 1.5 gig. It was all set to go. Since you have 2 250GB HD, I assume you have a controller card, either ATA133 or SATA that supports large HDs, and that means you do not need to worry about large HD support on the motherboard that the second generation QS have Fortunately, replacement 733s are cheap and plentiful on eBay, going for around $150 or less in good working order. Make sure you check out LEM swap list, DAs are going for about 100 there All the above is the setup for this question: there are Digital Audio 733s, and there are Quicksilver 733s, going for approximately the same price. The Quicksilvers are newer, but are they that much better that I should only consider the Quicksilvers? I think that a QS can accept the RAM from a DA, so switching the drives and memory from one to the other should not be a problem. But what would I really gain by upgrading to a Quicksilver 733 instead of a Digital Audio? Or are the differences so slight that I should go with a DA if I happen to see a better deal on one of those on eBay? If it is a choice between a 733 DA and a 733 or single 800MHz QS, go with the DA. The 733 and single 800 QSs were the entry level models and do not have a level three cache. They will run like a 5-600MZ processor with a cache. The 733 DA was the top end and has the L3 cache and will be faster than the 2 QS mentioned. The other main consideration is the easily usable OS. All of the above systems will run 10.4 with no problems. You need a very easy hack to install 10.5 on any system with a processor less than 867MHz, but a hack nonetheless. I am fairly certain that 10.6 will only run on Intel based Macs, so if I were in the market for a G4 mac, I would be looking for a 867 or 933 QS to run the latest operating system I could, with a preference to the 933 since it seems to run cooler. Since you have all the parts, I am sure you could get a 867 or 933 stripped (no HD, ram, OS) off of the swap list for not much more than $100. FWIW, I bought my DAs a while ago when there was a big price difference between DAs and QSs and I could upgrade the DAs slowly. My 2 configs are: Work DA has an 867QS processor, hacked Radeon 9600 64MB from a G5, 1GB ram, 120GB HD running 10.4.11 (I need classic apps at work) Home DA has a dual 1.2GHz OWC processor (to be overclocked as soon as I get more cooling) 1.5GB ram, hacked Radeon 9600 pro 128MB video card, 2 x 120GB HD on the onboard ata controller, 320GB and 500GB HDs on a SATA card.

I have a MDD with wide-screen running 10.4 and an 20inch intel iMac. I would love to connect the set-top box output to the g4 or iMac in some way. Anyone have any ideas other than shelling out for EyeTV or some similar type set up, as to how this could be done. :0) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
