Hi James Sorry to correct you, but PowerBooks do have an IBM chip. They were PowerPC units. It wasn't until Apple went to iMacs (Intel) and MacBook's that all the chips were then Intel chips. The G3, G4, G5 were all PPC (IBM) (including iMac's up to G5) The PowerBook series until the last PowerBook G4 (1.67GHz) were all PPC (IBM)
They then changed over to Intel and had iMac (with an Intel Core chip) and the laptops got "re-badged" as MacBook and MacBook Pro. Just wanted to clarify ;) Kind Regards Daniel On 11/8/10 11:10 AM, "James / Hans Kunz" <[email protected]> wrote: > i'm using a powerbook g4/1.33ghz 2gig ram & 320gig hd, have final cut > studio2 installed & doing edits for ch44 shows > powerbooks do not have ibm chips.....it would be an intel & that came > up with the macbook series...... > then just someting re tv recording > under the brand name strong str5425 you can get a recorder/ hd > received-setop box for below $120.- but w/o hd in it > the unit has a usb port for connecting a external hd up to 1tb (you > can record 1ch & watch another channel) records in mp4 format, you can > removed the hd & use a computer to view & edit > James > > On 11/08/2010, at 10:06, Justin Davies wrote: > >> >> Hi guys, been watching this with interest - is this idea feasible >> with an old g4 powerbook (IBM chip)? >> Best regards >> >> >> >> Justin Davies >> [email protected] >> www.justindavies.com.au >> 0414 567 638 >> 9309 9309 >> >> Linked In: www.linkedin.com/in/justinkdavies >> Business website: www.emergination.com.au >> Twitter: www.twitter.com/justinkdavies >> >> > > SAD Technic > Video Productions, Electronic repairs > U3 / 6 Chalkley Pl > Bayswater WA 6053 > +618 9370 5307,+618 6262 5707, 0414 421 132 > http://www.iinet.net.au/~saddas > skype: barleeway > over 40 years in electronics > > > > > > -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- > Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> > Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> > Unsubscribe - <mailto:[email protected]> > --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: <daniel @ macwizardry . com . au> Web: <http://www.macwizardry.com.au> **For everything Macintosh** -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[email protected]>
