I`m slowly upgrading an old G4 Gigabit Ethernet for the young son of a

card there would be very little difference but when you start to compare a

in performance.

Has anyone tried the 64mb ATI Radeon 9600 Pro shipped with 2004 PowerMac G5s

My friend`s G5 uses this card and I would like to know if it could be

symbiotic move between the Macs!

I put back the old memory to no avail.
I bought the new memory as Beige G3 compatible, so.
I also tried a startup from the front buttom with the same results.

Thanks a lot for your answer, Yersinia!
I have following a similar thread a few days ago which mentioned pressing
the CUDA switch and resetting the PRAM in a Beige G3. I went to my stored
manuals and checked them. According to the original manual (available for

Yersinia is correct about your PRAM battery being suspect. If you
don't have a suitable multimeter or battery tester, one way to find
out if the battery is any good is to remove it entirely, and try
starting up without it. You system should boot, but you will receive
an error message re time and

The 233Mhz Beige G3 desktop I recently resurrected (by simply changing the

Another way to get quicker HD response is using XPF to boot from a
Firewire 400 external HD. This is cheap and gets rid of both the 1st 8 GB
limit and the 128 GB limit, which only the ATA-133 card would also do,
but normally at higher total cost and less usage flexibility.
Now you mention
I think you mean 4GB and 40GB. My G3 here also has a 40GB in it :D

You could if there were such a thing. I've never heard of one. The
internal FW connector (on this card and on some PowerMacs) was intended
for FW drives, HDs whose interface was FW, not via an IDE convertor but
directly. Such drives never materialized.
Thanks for the answer! It makes a lot

Did OS 9 support the USB 2.0 protocol? I would like to get a USB 2.0 PCI

Sorry, no USB 2 drivers were ever written for OS 9. So the cards are
correct, but they should still work at USB 1 speeds.
Thanks! I´m fairly new to OS 9. The machine already has a 2xUSB/2xFW400 PCI
card so looks like a replacement wouldn`t be needed!

Yes, but I don't want to run OS X on this machine. It feels so fast,
even with only 96 MB of RAM... I don't want to put Panther just to
drag things down... to run OS X, I have newer machines, like my 2006
iMac :).
Mine is SLOW, with 9.2.2 and 386Mb of RAM. And a modern IBM Deskstar 40Gb
HD.
To get full advantage of the Radeon under OS X you'd need to enable
Quartz Extreme using PCI Extreme! 3.1 available at MacUpdate. You can
ignore the warnings if you're using Tiger 10.4.11, it works fine. It was
only under the bad OS X updates of 10.3.7 and 10.4.3-10.4.5 that it
didn't work.
And Gorka: to me, it feels fast! Indeed a lot faster than my 5200, and
all of my older 68k Macs... but for heavy work, general web browsing
and iTunes, I use my 2006 iMac! But I can't play those older games on
the iMac, nor can I talk properly to older hardware like my flatbed
scanner...
Impressive!
