Re: Firefox Issues
The issue is not watching the beebs, it's getting their video. And I think if one is able to grab their video as easily as could be done from Youtube, the standard for making it hard to do so would have been sorted out. What amazes me is that no one, at least here, seem to know how to do it. So should we put a price on it...or extend it to PCs as well?

Steve R I have successfully used IShowU to watch the beeb (and the clever 2- part Apple ads on the NY Times site ) and save as a QuickTime movie. The tricky part is trying to match frame rates. There will be some unavoidable decompression/re-compression quality loss as well. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.

Re: The need, the need for (browser) speed
What a wonderful post. Maybe, just maybe, I will grow to love Firefox on my G3s again. I'd simply moved onto Safari. So, here we go again, completely deleting everything that mentions Firefox and installing the version from rpm. Thanks so much! What's webkit about? Dan wrote: RPM has posted powerpc optimized Firefox 3.0.6 builds - quite nice. http://www.rpm-mozilla.org.uk/index.html And the current WebKit Nightly, on top of Safari 3.2.1 -- wow. I donno what they did, but it zooms thru acid3 much faster on my Smurf then previous builds! http://nightly.webkit.org/ ...Don't forget to turn off the check for fraudulent sites in Safari/WebKit. That lame feature really slows things down a lot!

Re: Sawtooth vs DA/QuickSilver
hi, I just got the DA case and transferred my 1.5ghz and 9200-64MB, and the rest. Works like a charm, definitely better than in the sawtooth. Actually even with the 466 cpu it seemed snappier, came out most benchmarks with xbench about 25% lower than my pismo 550g4. With upgrades, Xbench says its half the speed of his g5. OK for me. This is my high end machine. I still use the pismo and less: a couple g3s an original g4, and some quadras including a 540c I use regularly for study and writing. Just a believer in efficiency I guess, or fit to the job or something. On Jan 30, 8:45 pm, tortoise cymraeg...@gmail.com wrote: hi, I just got this 1.5ghz cpu for my sawtooth and am enjoying it. I am wondering since the card is compatible would it be worth it to go toDA. Has anybody had the two to compare ? Also could I transplant a motherboard into the sawtooth case (possibly along with the higher rated powersupply) ? There are motherboards available cheap on ebay and of course the shipping is cheaper too (and I feel better about reusing the case and recycling the old mobo if possible). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.
