Re: I am forced to go Intel? Common rant, I guess.

PPC linux has terrible 3rd party support. Most versions of software say linux but don't specify that it's x86 or x64 only. You can pull it off though. You'll need Debian Linux as it has the best PPC support. On May 10, 2011, at 2:08 PM, imrazor wrote: > > > On May 10, 1:46 pm, Doug McNutt wro

Re: I am forced to go Intel? Common rant, I guess.

For web browsing, movie watching, and word processing, you wouldn't even need a quad core. You could easily use a P4 system. I'm using a P4 3.2GHZ machine and it runs pretty fast. You could get a descent P4 system for $100-$150 easy. -Jonas -- You received this message because you are a member o

Re: I am forced to go Intel? Common rant, I guess.

You can also go with Linux Mint 10. I prefer it to Ubuntu. You can build a cheap quad core system for under $500. Just get your parts form CompUSA. On May 10, 2011, at 12:46 PM, Doug McNutt wrote: > At 22:36 -0400 5/9/11, admin wrote: >> Adobe Flash 10.2 Intel only, I believe. Web sites are star

IPC is the distro of 10.5.6 that I used. I recommend it, out of all the ones I've tried, it's the best. It has all the drivers and patches needed for the two systems I mentioned before. -Jonas -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and

Well, if you know Kalyway, then you know that any hack disc image is going to have a name. IPC 10.5.6 Final was just one that worked for this poster. Google it, you'll see downloads available. On May 10, 12:27 pm, Jack Countryman wrote: > "IPC 10.5.6"??  What's IPC mean here, or where do I find t

Re: Problems maxing ram on Quicksilver

Thanks Albert. The memory chips are all the same speed and from the same source. When I returned the original stick I thought was causing the problems the source said sometimes the Mac doesn't like certain chips and sent a set made by a different manufacturer (Samsung this time, I think). He tested

Re: Problems maxing ram on Quicksilver

Mike, I would verify that you are using all the same speed memory and same latency. Mixing different chips could cause problems. You might also want to clean the slots and test each stick individually using AHD (Apple Hardware Diagnosis) if you don't have the CD that came with the computer

Problems maxing ram on Quicksilver

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any similar problems or solutions when maxing out the ram on an old Quicksilver. It's model M8493 running a 933mhz processor. I have tried to max out the ram to 1.5GB but when I put the final 512MB chipset in it causes programs to freeze or just quit midstream
