Compatible PC cards for G3 Laptop

I'm using a Pismo G3 laptop for school and I want to be able to get on the internet while I'm there, but I don't want to have to pay $100 for the slower connection that an original airport card would provide. Can I use a third party PC card to be able to get the 802.11 g connection? I'm looking at the Linksys / WPC54GR. Would this model work?

The Linksys card will probably not work since Linksys doesn't offer any Mac OS drivers for it.
There probably are Mac OS compatible cards. Maybe someone else will have a suggestion for a compatible card.

PCMCIA firewire card for G4 laptop (follow-up to excessive timecode breaks)

1.) It was recommended that I get a new firewire bus to resolve excessive timecode breaks when importing from a Canon camcorder to an external hard drive. I've been reading through posts on this topic...and saw getting a new firewire port mentioned a few times... How come when I called Apple to check on the cost of a new firewire card for my laptop Powerbook G4, I was told that nothing could be added without replacing the entire logic board? Am I missing something? I didn't say "PCMCIA firewire drive" - is that something special? Any idea of the cost to purchase and install?
2.) Apple recommended just capturing to my internal hard drive, and transfering the projects. Apart from this being cumbersome... I need a little verification: if I transfer PROJECT X to my external hard drive, then do I also need to transfer my Audio Render, Autosave,Capture Scratch, Render, Thumbnail, and Waveform folders? [I realize this is basic, but I'm wary of losing the information the project needs and getting it all messed up]

pcmcia is an card slot. If you have a 12" PB you may not have one.
If you have a pcmcia slot, buy the card. Slide the card into your computer and start up. Put the camcorder on the card and your fw drive on the port built-in to your computer. Even if this does not solve the timecode issues, it will save you other headaches in the future.
Question. Does capturing to your internal drive solve the timecode issues you are having?
I disagree with the advice of capturing to your internal drive and transfering the project after the fact. There are a bunch of reasons why, and all of them are qualified, so I hesitate to go further until I know whether or not capturing to the internal drive is making your timecode headaches go away.
I suspect capturing to the internal drive will not help the timecode issues which will make the whole point moot. But hopefully I'm wrong :>

ps
When you talk to representatives from Apple, you have to be conscious that if they are not specialists in the area you are focused on their advice may be based on general recommendations from an IT or home user perspective. There is a difference between talking to a sales person on the floor of the Apple Store and someone from the Genius Bar. And the person at the Genius Bar may have a tremendous background in network installations, but never have opened FCP. Or you might get lucky and get a FCP savvy genius, who would be a bit weak when talking about some other area.
This is not a knock, just a reality. It is difficult to be deeply conversant with even one area. It is not realistic for the generalists you usually deal with to know the best answers to very specific questions.
I'm working toward becoming a certified trainer with FCP and it is not easy or cheap to become an expert at this one application, never mind all the possible applications and hardware combinations for wildly different needs and budgets.

Hi
Do you want to buy an 3G/GPRS WLan PC card?
Such cards use the PCMCIA port and should work on most notebooks which provide such PCMCIA slot.
I think you will find many cards if you will googel in the internet.

Finally a graphics card for Apple Laptop's Nvidia 7950 mobile released.

7950 = apparently dual ( 7800 gtx 256bit 256mb+ / g70/1 / 35gb/s / 800m )
Now Apple has no more excuses to delay building the first Apple Intel Laptop " NOT Apple ATI X1600 PDA ".
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/10/12/nvidiageforce_go7950/

Sorry to have fried your nerf's but I do love Apple and would gladly purchase another Apple if they give me something to buy and not provide weaker machines then 2 year old Dell Laptops.
I would have bought the Mac pro desktop until I found out it only has 2 x dual cores "4 cpu's" . LOL who would pay for that LOL
I wanted / expected and informed all my friends about it having 2x quad core xeon's ie: 8 cpu's until they called back and laughed at me
Well my 2 year old Dell E1705 Zippo has a 7800 gtx 256bit 256mb ram running at 800m thingy's / 35gb/s at normal settings.
The 7800 gtx comes from a 9300 celeron m Dell laptop model that was prior to the 9400 celeron m that was prior to the e1705 core duo.
I payed $1500 way back when I purchased it and added 2gb 667 ddr2 + 7200rpm 100gb hd 2.5". Not $2500 for a $900 dell clone. "Ebay" I do not pay for half a broken cup of coffee, I want the real deal not some ripp-off.
Now if Apple expects me to buy again from them they will have to provide a Apple laptop that comply's with my orriginal reason for switching to Apple = Power / Performance / Design / Craftsmanship and extremely high prices in relation to the other junk out there for sale "NON Apple Stuff / alternatives"
So when they think of returning to APPLE and stay away from the Dell clones that they are trying to produce now $900.00 stuff "Mac Book Pro actual value , then I will gladly pay $2500 - $3000 for a laptop that will in any case be plugged in to AC 96% of the time ie: battery = backup power.
Surely they will then have to provide power / performance / design / craftsmanship and a non mobile phone graphics card ie: 7950 or at least the 8800 g80 that will be released in november 2006
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/10/02/nvidiag80_to_shipnovember/
SO why get so upset it is a good product for children and teachers "Mac Book Pro" but for the idiots like me and NASA and any other normal person over the age of 10 we need power and don't mind paying for it.
Or we would have bought the MacBook to play with.
Surely the 110v/220v light bulb that light the room you are in will not be satisfied with 2 AA 2x1.5v battery's to power it as it will not be able to do it's job ??????

Can I get a better graphic card for my laptop?

Hi, my name is Mitchell and about a few years ago i got an Hp Pavilion G6 Notebook pc. I use my laptops mostly for school work but now ive started to play games on it and ive noticed that I can play some games because the graphic card is not the best. Instead of makeing a new gaming pc I wanted to just upgrade the graphic card on it? Am I able to buy a graphic card for it and instal it?

Hi,
What is your G6 ? G6 is a series of many models/laptops and normally we can't upgrade video card on 99.5% of them. Not just G6 series, other laptops from HP and other vendors as well. We can only upgrade video card on some REAL games and work station class machines.

It also depends on the voltage rails (12v and 5v I believe) If you have a weaker number, some of these cards can make toast of the computer in no time!

Compatible WIFI card for Thinkpad a21m, wifi orinoco silver no longer working

Thank you for having this forum available.
My husband passed down his Thinkpad A21M Type 2628-GTU to our son. The wifi card that was with it is a Lucent Technologies Orinoco Silver 11mbit/s t/n 03549501 p/n012938/c. When powered up last night, the ethernet was fully functional, but the wireless card didn't connect to the net. My husband assumed the Lucent card was bad. Is there something compatible I may buy to replace it? Do you have a suggestion on what he might have missed in trying to get it to work at home?
He has used this laptop all over the country including at home before, so I would imagine he knows what he is doing. But, we do have a new service provider since the company upgraded his computer system.
Thank you so much!

Welcome to the forum!
Honestly, it's time to upgrade to a newer card anyway, at least b/g. Any PCMCIA wireless card will work with your A21m, it all depends on your router, and your personal preferences.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
George

Windows compatible video card for OSX?

I have a windows PC with an ATI All-In-Wonder 9600XT card that i put in it a few years back. I was wondering if this card is compatible with my PPC Powermac G5 Dual 2.7 machine to add on as a second video card. It's only purpose would be for me to import analog video into FCP so I can edit VHS footage. Also, if the TV tuner worked, that would be pretty sweet, but its not that important. Can someone help me????

"was wondering if this card is compatible with my PPC Powermac G5"
Sorry, but no. The card must have been specifically built for Macs.

Do I need a dedicated graphics card for my laptop if I mainly use Photoshop CS6 to paint?

I'm looking to buy a laptop and having a dedicated graphics card is obviously more expensive, but is it necessary for painting on Photoshop CS6 without lagging? I use a lot of layers, adjustments, masks, and large brushes, but that's mostly it, also I don't spam the undo button.

havnor wrote:

LOL, those are very compute-intensive operations. That's basically saying "I need the most powerful computer I can find" to run Photoshop.
It's hard to generalize an answer to your specific question, because not all GPUs or systems are created equal. If I had to generalize, I'd say you should try to avoid DUAL GPU systems, in which an Intel and some other brand are combined to try to deliver power saving and high performance capabilities. Photoshop traditionally doesn't really like that kind of arrangement, and forum members often advise folks with dual GPU systems who are experiencing problems to just disable one of them (usually the lesser one) anyway.
Keep in mind that a laptop isn't going to be able to achieve as good performance as a desktop for a resource hungry application like Photoshop, yet will be more expensive. You really will want a high-end machine (possibly even mobile workstation class) to paint in the manner you describe.
I invite others who use modern laptops to chime in here and relate their actual experiences, as well as provide information on their specific configurations.

Compatible video cards for my Mac Pro

Hi,
I have the first generation MacPro. It came with the Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT and that just died on me.
I called someone around here I can buy from, but it's going to cost me about $550.00 through him. He'd suggested I go third party but couldn't really elaborate on what that meant.
I don't mind paying, I just want to check my options first and see if I can do better in terms of cost. Does anyone know of compatible cards I might be able to use for this machine?
Thanks for any suggestions.
-Vincent

Hi Vincent,
I've just upgraded my Mac Pro 2,1 to the ATI 4870.
Couldn't be happier. Fast & Quiet, only problem is it runs hot. Great timing as it's fantastic for playing Steam games at unreal resolutions and levels of quality. I've upgraded from the 8800GT which will absolutely stump your 7300GT if you can get one.
I've done a review on my blog (see link below). Also a few other upgrades on my Mac Pro such as SSD , Blu-ray and RAID all enhancing the machine to such an extent that it benchmarks faster than the new i7 iMacs according to CineBench.
Anyway good luck with the upgrade.
