Hello everybody- Just bought my first MAC today.
Picked it up for cheap. According to it's serial number and from cross
checking on a mac site(not sure if i'm allowed to post links) It's a
Powermac G4 MDD 1.0ghz. Unfortunately, it did not come with either a
power cord or any memory but it
Welcome to the world of MACS! ;) You picked a great machine to cut your teeth
with. I had a dual MDD back in the day. Well, okay that back in the day was two
years ago! It was an upgrade from my faithful digital audio Dual/533. ( I
actually miss both of those machines. But I digress.
As others
Thanks for the links, that was the site I was going to post.
Great info.
I originally thought I had the dual processor version (not the
firewire800 version).
I based this on the serial number. The last 3 letters in serial number
for reference. MMA which only shows me the dual processor specs

No they meant dual-processor. There were no dual-core PowerPC cpus ever used
in Macs. This one may have had it's cpu board replaced.
Not true: the quad G5 is technically a dual-CPU, dual-core G5. But you are
correct in that there was never a dual-core G4.

You are forgetting the last generation dual core G5 PowerMac's,
starting with the 2.3GHz

One more thing: the video card is a ati9000 pro which has both dvi and
adc ports. ADC is the primary and dvi is the 2nd port. since I don't
have an apple display I can't use the ADC.
I'm plugging my lcd to the 2nd port (is there some settings
You can save PRAM settings. So in a sense you can access them.

What do you mean? AFAIK, they are automatically saved. No user intervention
required (or possible, save for erasing them).
I know it's possible altering PRam parameters
That was weird, i posted a reply yesterday and it never got posted.
anyhow here goes:
The last part of my serial is MMA and according to that site you
posted, it looks like my model is the dual proc 1.0 (not the FW800).
Although it does have 2 firewire ports, i'm not sure what the
differences

Except this one:
PROCESSOR
Processor PowerPC 970MP (G5)
Processor Speed 2.0, 2.3, or dual 2.5 GHz
Number of Cores 2 per processor
Cache 64K (instruction), 32K (data) L1, 1MB
Weren;t the liquid-cooled G5 quads double dual-core?

This one should run up to OS X 10.5 without any hassles, 10.2 is quite old and
there'sa lot of stuff liek modern browsers and such that is not compatible.
Best option is probably 10.4. It's faster than 10.5 on old Macs, and it's
compatible
Tina, I do know, the hard way. Jane 2.0 and I are at the mall, and she
asks to go to the mac store. You know where that got me. :)

I'm assuming that this means the memory isn't recognizable and the mac
probably needs pc2700 memory.
I don't have any pc2700 but I may be able to get a couple of pc3200
memory, do you think this will be ok?
Yes, it needs PC2700 minimum, and yes

Links are fine, as long as they're to the point, and
In the old days Dan Knight would make sure no one called a Mac a MAC ! :)
Somewhere in the user rules I think he lays out why.
And dear god don't miss spell MHz or GHz !
