Re: upgrade XServe G5: desktop processor?

[Matevž Markovič]

Hy!

Here is the link to the Xserve G5 developer note:
http://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/documentation/Hardware/Developer_Notes/Servers/XserveG5/XserveG5.pdf
.

I still do not know whether it is possible to install second-cpu, perhaps
others can tell you more? Do you have a secondary cpu slot?
Anyway, in the note it states: "Warning: DON’T TRY TO USE OLDER PROCESSOR
CARDS! This connector differs from those in earlier
computers and it is not pin-compatible."

As for the memory upgrade, the maximum for this computer is 8GB (184-pin,
unbuffered, ECC DDR400 SDRAM DIMMs, unbuffered,
8-byte, with parity, PC3200 compliant).

Yours,

Matevž Markovič

Found a link:

 They have a link to OS X software, plus a
bunch of other commercial sources.

I think this is the one I was thinking of; but it could have been
something I saw while reading Road and Track at the dentist's office
last month...

upgrade XServe G5: desktop processor?

[Bruce Ryan]

Hi there

I'm the proud owner of an XServe G5, single processor 2·0 GHz (Model  
Identifier: RackMac3,1). SInce I'm now using it as my main mac, I'm  
pondering cheap ways to increase its performance. (It already has  
three 250GB 7200repm hard disks, albeit they're second-hand 2·5"  
drives.)


So the other two obvious possibilities are
- more RAM (it has eight 256MB PC3200U sticks)
- 2nd processor. Does the 2nd processor need to be specifically for an  
XServe or would any 2·0 GHz G5 processor do.


many thanks

Bruce

It happened very early in the boot sequence, and had nothing at all to do with

I e-mailed the Panic Log to Bruce ... maybe he can see something.

I originally had Logitech's apps installed, but Uninstalled that a

The G5 has an 'AGP Pro' slot, not an AGP slot. They're different:

This is odd, because I don't think the driver puts anything in the pram. I 
suspect a coincidental issue with something else.

It works just fine with mine on both the computers it's installed on (both 
running 10.6 btw, but it worked just fine in every OS I've ever used it in, 
which goes back to OS 7 

I've actually NEVER had a problem with Kensington's drivers; the only problems 
with the trackballs I've ever had was when they physically wore out, and older 
ones' amazing ability to attract cat fur to the optical sensors :-) I've become 
pretty adept at field-stripping them to clean 'em...

Yes that will help, as will religiously marking them as 'Not Junk' when you 
find them. Sometimes Mail finally learns to recognize them.

Alternatively, you can use Mail rules to move those specific emails into their 
own folder before the junk rule is applied to the inbox, sometimes these 
messages are just too spammish looking to be properly evaluated by the Junk 
rule.

opt-cmd-P-R when installing Kensington MouseWorks 3?

[Bill Connelly]

Is it normal to have to do a  opt-cmd-P-R after installing the  
Kensington MouseWorks 3 into OS X 10.5.8?


I kept getting kernal panics on my Digital Audio Dual 533 under 10.5.8  
after a first attempt with a fresh download of the file from their site.


After doing a Safe Boot, and a Reboot, yet another kernal panic.

I finally decided to try the opt-cmd-P-R, and all seems to be well ...

Any comments about this c. 2006 mouse driver by Kensington?
When did OS X 10.5 come out, anyway?

My mail filter is working too good filtering out things I want to

Can you post the pictures of the slot and the card to photo bucket or 
something? There is no difference in the slot of an AGP 1x, 2x, 4x, or 8x.
