My sister has a dual 1ghz Quicksilver and would like to upgrade the processor. I have a Sonnet 1.4ghz card that will fit but am wondering if it would really be any faster (if not slower) than the current dual processor she has. Any thoughts? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Yo

Re: "Smurf"

The smurfs (pitufos in Spanish) were very popular in the early 1980s Spain. When the PowerMac G3 B&W appeared, it was quickly nicknamed "pitufo" as both were blue and white. The original iMac G3 was popularly known as "cabezon" (Big headed), while the fancy iMac G4 was known as "Lamparita" (d

Re: Distributed processing.

Good call! There's that x-grid thing built into (and addable seperately) later versions of OS X, but the main machine needs to be running the server version of the os, and it only works with certain apps (like final cut) from what I understand. Would be nice though to hook my old iMacs up th

Distributed processing.

In essence, I am wondering how you can use multiple older ppc computers to make things happen faster? I have occasion to run unix based programs via X11 at work. I am not a knowledgeable unix person but actually OSX is educating me in that direction. It's possible for me to use "ssh" to connec

Re: Question about how Time Machine works

Thanks Ralph. That article is heavy going for a non-techie like me, but what I seem to get out of it is that these "enterprise" drives such as the two I bought are built to a higher standard than regular drives, able to run reliably non-stop 24/7 even while enduring higher operating temperatures.

Re: Upgrading a used G5

I got a GeForce 7800 GS for $50 (from the popular auction site) and flashed it for my G5, it is one of the best AGP cards available. Before that I had a Geforce 6200/256MB AGP card which was also very good, they are pretty easy to find in the $50 range. On Sep 7, 2:01 pm, Ron Romine wrote: > I j

Re: Power mac G5 2.5ghz

Howdy, I would not want it. But, it is a pretty nice machine in some ways. You say it has no leak issue, but these machines seem to develop that over time. If you want to use it for several more years, you should monitor that cooler. I know I am on the lookout for an inexpensive G5 tower that
