Power Mac G5 :: Number Of Ram Slots On A G5 PPC Dual 2GHz?
Oct 28, 2007
A G5 PPC Dual 2GHz that I am working on freelance for a client apppears only to have 4 RAM slots - could this be the case? I thought that from the 1st Generation onwards all G5s contained 8 slots.

I just got an AirPort Extreme Card from Apple that has been refurbished. I installed it in my G5 and then on power-on, the system hangs before the chime even sounds? I remove it and everything is back to normal...

how do i add an additional hard drives to my G5 tower, what type of drive is needed? Is there a max limit to the the drive i can use like the G4's? What type of memory do I need to buy, and lastly, how do i determine what series fo Dual G5 do I have? It seems as if there was a 2003 and a 2005 produced G5 dual 2.0 GHZ model.

I recently bought a dual 2GHz Powermac G5. It really is a powerful machine, and dont preach at how much faster intel is thanks...I'd love one but I dont have multiple grand for a mac pro as Im 16. Im just wondering....what is the difference between dual processor, like mine, and dual core, like the 2.7GHz G5's.
Besides the fact that its on the same chip and you save power and space, what are the advantages? As for my 2ghz dual I think that these powerpc' s still have some life left in them, and I do wish to upgrade the cruddy stock 64mb radeon 9600 with a x800 256mb card or something like that to bring its graphics up to par with its power. What are some decent games that will run on my computer?

I've bought a dual 2Ghz powermac G5 secondhand, and bought a new drive and installed 10.4.3 and updated to 10.4.11, the fans where always on full blast so i searched the forums and ran the Thermal Calibration utility, everything seemed fine for a week. Then it started turning itself off with a click from the power supply after i left it on all night while downloading.

Crucial lists PC4000 (500mhz) as well as PC3200 (400mhz) for my Power Mac. It has 1gb of PC3200 in it right now. I always thought that you wanted your RAM to be AT LEAST as fast as your FSB. Well...my FSB is 1ghz per processor. SO, would it be a good idea to run PC4000 RAM as opposed to PC3200? From what I gather if I mix them, it will just run the RAM at 400mhz. So would it be substantially faster with say, 1gb of PC4000 as ooposed to 1gb of PC3200 ?

I have a G5 dual pro 2Ghz (June 2004), 1.5 Gb ram, Leopard
When I press the start button, the dvd drive spins, the startup disk "sparkles" (noise seems normal) but no image appears on screen (black monitor enabled), no start-music. It starts correctly after + / - 15 attempts ignition-extinction.
The various reset (pram, motherboard) have been tempted. "Cleaning" the computer with Onyx (maintenance). Battery voltage Bios = OK. The authorization of repairs were made. Repairing minor problems in head volume repaired (the install cd has booted). Tempted to start with a minimum of devices. The symptoms still persist for 2 to 3 weeks.
I have installed a new hard drive. I've installed Leopard on it.
But the problems stay. My mac starts when he wants...

I have a Powermac Dual G5 @2.0ghz, with 8gbs of ram, and 2 1tb drives running the latest version of 10.5. The problem I have is that I have 4 LCD monitors that I was using with my PC. I swapped that out with my mac, and while I am no novice, I didnt take into account that I cant just put any AGP and PCI video card into the system. What I need to know is if I can use two PCI video cards both with Dual Monitor outputs, and if so, which cards should I buy, and where? I found some video cards on ebay that are PCI, and it is quartz extreme compatible, but I am unable to use it with the AGP card already installed. The person selling the cards was unable to answer whether or not two of those cards could be used together. I only have about 75 per card to spend. Please help, I cant go on using this awesome machine with only one 19inch LCD. and I cant afford to buy new monitors

I had a weird issue this morning. I started computer and it did not make the chime sound, it didn't do anything at all. I disconnected it from the extension cord as well as all the peripherals attached to it and nothing. I tried a different start up disk and again there wasn't a sound. Then i unplugged it and reset the SMU on the mother board and air sprayed the computer to remove all dust. Then plugged it back and it came back on.

I scanned the posts and didn't see this question, but honestly I didn't read all 20K + messages.I bought in late 2005 a dual 2.3 G5, about 6 months before the Mac/Windows combination came out. Does anyone know if I can upgrade or is it too costly to do so compared to buying a new machine.

Anyone know if this elusive accessory can be bought from Apple?
It's the same AC power cable you plug into the MacBook PSU if you don't want to use the plug adapter. I find the Airport sticks out too much with the plug adapter, plus it wobbles too much for my liking. I've tried a search for obvious things (power cord, AC cable) and cannot find anything.
I did find a UK company that sells the cable from recycled Macs. However it would be nice if I could find it on Apples site It's the UK cable I need!

I currently have 4 x 512 PC3200 installed. Is it possible to remove 2 of the modules and replace them with 2 1gig PC5300? I remember my old G4 used pc100 and I was able to upgrade with PC133. Not sure if the same concept applies here.

I am posting this here as well as in the Logic area, to try to get some help. I am desperate, as i can't work. In Logic Pro 7, I can't click anything in the right pane of the bounce dialog box. I CAN select PCM, Mp3 etc. on the left, but get no response from the mouse when trying to change the sample rate, interleave, dithering etc. on the right. I also can't click the flip-box to select different packages in the Loop Browser. I haven't noticed this happening in other applications. DOES ANYONE READING THIS KNOW HOW I CAN GET SOME HELP FROM APPLE? I am told i can't even buy apple care because my computer is too old. I don't know what to do. Tried trashing prefs. Not running any failed audio units. Nothing new in software update. Don't really know what else to do.

I'm working on a Mac Dual g4 desktop computer at work, and it won't turn on. We've always had troubles with a sticky button, but it usually comes on after a couple tries. Just before I had this problem, we had tried to switch to an older startup, which gave us trouble, so we went to restart the computer and that didn't work either. Have been reading through discussion posts etc to troubleshoot, tried switching out the power cord and PMU restart, no luck. Unfortunately don't have a keyboard with a power button... What now?

I cannot seem to get my second hard disk (lower drive bay, B) out of the machine.
I've disconnected the data and power cables from the drive, lifted the B drive swing tab out of the way...but no matter what that drive seems to be wedged in there pretty good.

I have a question about the Dual-Proc MacPro's power management:
If you are only running one or two applications, using one or two cores, is the power management smart enough to put one of the processors to sleep, or into a low-power mode?

Is there an upgrade beyond 10.4.11 to Leopard 10.5 that doesn't require an intel-based mac. I bought Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and it tells me that I need an intel based mac. Will 10.5 leopard work?
