I just got the computer yesterday and all I have to say is WOW! The Powermac is 9 years old but it seems as fast as my 13 MacBook Pro. The only thing that I can't stand is the GPU. The seller stuck an ATI Rage 128 card in the computer so right now Leopard is out of the question. It looks fine on

Ok. I haven't bought the graphics card yet so I'll try to find that one. Did you do the install from an Intel Mac? If you did that would be the problem. On Sep 30, 11:12 am, Ashgrove salum...@gmail.com wrote: On Sep 28, 3:46 pm, Alex kab...@gmail.com wrote: Ok, it is a Quicksilver model. And

Ok, it is a Quicksilver model. And I'm getting an ATI Radeon 9600 card from ebay. If I do run Leopard I will try LeopardAssist for the install, though I think it's weird that Apple will let a 867 MHz single processor Quicksilver run Leopard but it won't let an 800 MHz dual processor Quicksilver

And yes, it is the fastest way, if you don't count the work to make a CCC copy. For only one Power Mac the effort is propably more time consuming than to install a fresh Mac OS X – provided you don't reinstall every week! p.s. yes, I've also got CCC images laying around… waiting to be

Dude, just google LeopardAssist. It isn't even real hacking and is the best way to install Leopard on a G4 slower than 867MHZ in my opinion, and for sure the easiest. I have used it several times and it works great. -Jonas -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a
