CPU upgrades for Beige G3 DT
I have a 266MHz Beige G3 DT which is a workhorse for the OS 9 apps that it runs. 768Meg memory, USB, FW, and ATA133 PCI cards. Is there a ZIF cpu that I can install, perhaps from a B W, which would give me a noticeable increase in speed? Other than speed, the fit of the DT to my needs is fine. I see CPUs available on eBay often, but don't have any idea which specific ones would be compatible. I would certainly be happy with 450 to 500MHz, but the machine needs to be solid, as it is in use most of every work day. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: CPU upgrades for Beige G3 DT
My 300MHz Beige G3 minitower -- which I passed on to a new home last November -- had a Sonnet Encore/ZIF G4/500MHz Processor Upgrade. IIRC, the upgrade was was easy, and it certainly made for a great OS 9 experience.

Fwd: teach yourself illustrator CS3
Hi folks I've just set my dad up with a base-model mac mini after years of supporting his ancient XP box. He's used to Autosketch for technical drawing, but this doesn't work on the mac - even the wonderful Crossover turns up its nose. So I've given him my copy of Creative Suite 3 so he can use Illustrator. I've tried to teach him some things and written a few exercises, but I'm not a good teacher, and most of the time I'm 350 miles from my parents. So can anyone recommend a good guide/teach yourself Illustrator book? I don't think it will matter if it's from as far back as V5 (I recall the manual for V5 having a good teaching session, and I don't see that any of the fundamental functions have changed since then.) thanks indeed Bruce -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

IIRC, the upgrade was was easy, and it certainly made for a great OS 9 experience. 500 and 533 MHz were offered by various companies. The Beige is somewhat unique in having a selectable bus speed, and the processor's speed is a selectable multiplier above that bus speed. It is all encoded on that jumper block which goes with the motherboard. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

___ From: Fabian Fang f...@mac.com So can anyone recommend a good guide/teach yourself Illustrator book? I don't think it will matter if it's from as far back as V5 (I recall the manual for V5 having a good teaching session, and I don't see that any of the fundamental functions have changed since then.) http://www.amazon.com/Illustrator-Windows-Macintosh-Elaine-Weinmann/dp/0321510453/ref=sr_1_2?s=booksie=UTF8qid=1364233558sr=1-2keywords=illustrator+cs3+books It is a good book. You can still buy a brand new copy for as little as $3.37 (plus shipping) from an Amazon Marketplace. I'll second that suggestion. During the past few years I have purchased half dozen or more Peachpit Press Adobe CS instruction books from Amazon for a dime on the dollar. Clear and easy to read and shipping is only $4 IIRC. Even a used book purchased for $0.01 was in good shape. --glen -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: teach yourself illustrator CS3
G'day Bruce. As an aside, have you set up a screen sharing link with both Macs, so you can show your parents what to do? Skype makes it easy, but you do need reasonably fast links. Skype suggest 300 KBs. I find screen sharing invaluable, even from a few kilometers away.
