I have two video cards. ATI Radeon 9000 Pro and nVidia A74. Which one is

Can I swap the Radeon from the G4 MDD 1.42Ghz with the nVidia which was in the

Quicksilvers are very nice machines, especially the Dual Processor ones, you

Hello David:
You might try unconnecting/reconnecting the hard drive cables at all
connections, same with the RAM and the video card. Do you hear drive

Hi there,
I am looking to move an Aluminum Apple Cinema Display 21 at least 15 -
20 feet away from my G5. The further away the better. However I would

Are you running OS 9? OS 9 can only access 1Gb, OS X can access the full
amount.
Actually, OS 9 can access up to 1.5GB. /pedantic

Beautiful manual you linked to. Anyone have a similar document for the MDD
