Oct 19, 2008I purchased a used ATI X850 XT AGP 2-slot for PC, not the single slot found as OEM on PowerMac G5s. The goal is to flash it with the equivalent Mac bios so that I can use it in my Mac G4 867MHz Quicksilver (2001). By the way, I already know that I have to cover up pins 3 and 11 in order for an 8x AGP card to work in my Apple 4x AGP slot.

Dec 3, 2009I just set out to initialize the drive of my old G4 800 DP, using the system disc. Everything began fine but when I returned the screen was black, and video wasn't being picked up. I decided to force reboot and start over, but now I cannot get my mac to boot at all. Black screen with no video. Cannot boot from firewire target drive. Machine won't recognize system disc. When I boot there is no chime. I hear the machine apparently working hard to read the system disc but nothing happens and it eventually ejects the disc. I've tried 3 different discs, so I know it's the machine not the disc. Pressing "option" at startup has no effect. I also know it's not my LCD, as it works fine with my other machine. Anyone have any idea about what's going on here and what I can do to regain access to my machine?

Apr 20, 2007I can't seem to find specific information that would tell me if a 1.25 GHz processor from a MDD G4 would swap into a G4 Quicksilver (733 MHz) I have sitting in a corner.
They are both single processor machines, but I question the compatibility. I don't have the MDD machine with the 1.25 GHZ processor yet, so I can't look at them both for comparison.

PowerPC :: Hard Drive Not Mounting In G4 Quicksilver?
May 14, 2009My hard drive from my G4 733mhz wont mount at all. The ? in a blue folder just appears. I have tried to start up from an external mountable drive and the ? again appears. When I disconnect the internal hard drive completely and boot from my external drive it boots up.
Prior to this problem I took the hard drive from my G4 733Mhz and put it in my G4 867Mhz computer to load a new disk image. I did this as I didn't have access to an external mountable drive then. After doing this the hard drive doesn't mount in either computer and when connected all other mountable drives wont mount. I have the internal drive set to master.
PowerPC :: Video Card Upgrade G4 733ghz Quicksilver?
May 12, 2007pls be patient with my English, i'll try to do my best.
Finally i decided last week to upgrade an old Powerpc G4 733 Quicksilver (model before 2002 vers.)
I changed combo with a good Pioneer dvr-112d.
Now i'm asking u an indication: find a video card better than nvidia mx 32 installed with two important targets
1) Should support wide screen 1680x1850
2) should support core image tech in order to work better with last Tiger.
reading around i'm sure fx5200 satisfy nr2 but doesn't support wide, ati like 9600 had big problems of compatibility with my G4 model.
Pls could u point me to the right way ?
wich is the best video card compatible with a 733 ghz quicksilver ?

PowerPC :: Quicksilver Power Supply On A Gigabit Motherboard?
Mar 7, 2008Recently I didn't do my research, and I purchased a Quicksilver power supply to put on a Gigabit machine. I noticed it had four extra pins which look like some of the ones they use to power processors in some PCs (tho I've come to find this is for the ADC port). I dug a little deeper (Googled "powermac_g4.pdf") and found out that some of the pins have differences between the Gigabit PS and the Quicksilver PS.
Has anyone else had an experience like this? Will the PS work without any wirecutting or do I need to get a new one?

Jul 10, 2009I have two drives in my Quicksilver 2002 G4, one is a 250GB which can be fully used, the other an 80GB. Can U rid both of these drives and install two SATA 1.5TB drives? I do not want to use the PCI slots for a SCSI card and wire additional drives that way, because the transfer speed will be limited to 40mbps I believe. I have a Sonnet card a dual PPC 1,8Ghz card, a PCI USB 2.0 card and have other open PCI slots, but finally ran out of storage, and have a use for this machine to hold a LOT more. Other than the transfer speeds possible on SATA, are there any other differences between the original IDE (ATA) drives? Do they connect the same way?

It is a 40GB Ultra ATA/66 (5400 rpm)

I was told by Tiger Direct that this enclosure should work:

View 14 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: Will This RAM Work - Install Memory In Pairs
Nov 28, 2009I wanted to add more RAM to my PowerMac G5 1.8GHz and I found two 256MB sticks lying around my house from my dead Windows XP computer. I looked up on Apples website that I needed DDR 400 RAM for my PowerMac, and the two sticks I found are DDR 333, which according to Apple are only for the 1.6GHz PowerMac G5. Will they still work in my 1.8GHz PowerMac? If they work, I know my system memory will be at 333MHz, which is fine cause I only browse the web and type documents on this old computer now. I just wanted to put the memory to use.
Also, I have a single 512MB DDR 400 RAM Stick I found as well. From what I read, I have to install memory in pairs. Is this true? Will I be able to also utilize this 512MB Stick? (It has no matching pair)
PowerPC :: 4GB Memory Enough For A G4?
Apr 3, 2008does anyone know how much memory would the PowerBook G4 (the very last one, 1.67GHz with DL SD and 15" HD) take?

PowerPC :: G4 Won't Accept New Memory?
Sep 17, 2007I have inherited two PowerMac G4 450 MHz AGP machines for use at the non-profit arts organization that I help run. I believe these are either the "Sawtooth" configuration [URL] or the "Mystic" configuration [URL], probably the former.
They each came with two 128 MB DIMMs (256 MB RAM each), which is anemic of course, so I bought two DIMMs of 512 MB RAM of the same type, intending to add one to each machine. Same bus speed (133 MHz) and voltage configuration (contact edge indents) as the existing memory. There are 4 DIMM slots.
The DIMMs go into the slot just fine, but are not recognized by the system. It boots up as if they aren't there; there are no abnormal boot beeps or flashing power button. It just doesn't count them as existing in the RAM pool (per "About This Mac").
I did try both DIMMs all by themselves, separately in the first slot and together in the first two, and those boots failed with the warning beep, flashing power button, and no video.
I can take these back to the vendor (a trusted local whitebox shop) and have them test them, but is there something special that I need besides PC133 SDRAM?
I noticed that these new 512MBs are 16-chip DIMMs, and the existing 128MBs are 8-chip DIMMs. Does that matter? I vaguely recall that there's a difference between 16-chip and 8-chip.
IMac :: Memory Compatibility (DIMMS Work In Aluminum)
Apr 22, 2009I have two 512mb 667MHz DDR2 DIMMS from an old first generation Intel iMac. Would one of these DIMMS work in the Aluminum iMac running a single 1GB 800MHz DDR2 DIMM? Common sense tells me "No" and that this combination could cause Kernal Panics, etc with different speeds of RAM installed. However, I thought it was worth asking since I have these two DIMMS sitting here doing nothing and my mate could use the extra memory for free.

PowerPC :: Upgrading G4 867Mhz Memory?
Apr 11, 2007Is it possible for me to put a 1g memory stick in my PowerBook 12inch 867mhz? The reason why I'm asking this, is because when you check the apple store, the maximum memory is 512mb. But if you check elsewhere, you can buy the 1g stick. Some places says that the computer will recognize only 512mb, even if you put the 1g.

May 17, 2008So my dad decided to upgrade the ram on his Powerbook G4 to 2GB. Initially everything went smoothly and the ram was detected and working. Within a week though, the computer only recognized 1 of the memory slots. Switching the ram cards around proved that the ram itself was fine but that the one memory bank was not working. Is this at all a common problem with the Powerbook G4? Our concern is that a repair may cost more than it is worth considering this is an old machine.
