Good place to get upgrades for a Quicksilver

I just picked up a Quicksilver G4 800. I am looking to get some upgrades for it. I am looking at get a dual 1ghz but I would also like to upgrade the video card and add sata drives to it. Where is a good place to get mac upgrades and what is a good card for the quicksilver. I do a lot of video stuff.

If you run Tiger on your systems, the nVidia GeForce 6200 AGP video card with 256 MB shared memory is a popular one, because it is optimized for Quartz Extreme and Core Image. nVidia never made a Mac version; but many East Asian cards with flashed ROMs can be found on eBay, others on Amazon.

The above example claims hardware support for OpenGL, Core Video, and Core Animation, making it suitable for Leopard. I cannot confirm these claims. Mine (from eBay) came with an audio VGA adapter and digital DMI adapter.

  • Want help in compiling a list of upgrades for my Quicksilver (UK)

    Well my Quicksilver will be arriving in a few days and after asking a couple of questions about upgrades I'd now like to compile a list of upgrades for me to buy so I can everything with ease. I live in the UK and can you use eBay and any other website/source as long as it can get to the UK. I'd like to upgrade the following to begin with:
    - Sound card
    - RAM
    - Graphics card
    - USB 2.0 ports
    - DVD drive
    - PSU
    - Any other good PCI cards
    And the following later on:
    - Hard drives
    - CPU (if I feel I need to)
    So can you guys help me compile a list of recommended upgrades for each component and where I can buy the parts from as long as I can get them to the UK? I'd appreciate it very much.

    Hi-
    Recommend not leaving the hard drive for last. Machine performance is dependant on hard drives, and the faster the better. This should be the first item on your list.
    WESTERN DIGITAL Caviar SE16 WD3200AAKB
    Install maximum memory, 3x512MB PC133 DIMMs. Use only quality Mac compatible guaranteed memory.
    PC133 SDRAM DIMM 512MB
    Might be cheaper to buy from the US and pay VAT.
    OWC 512MB PC133 CL2 2-2-2 168 Pin High Performance SDRam
    A USB 2.0 PCI card does not have to be stated as Mac compatible if it has the NEC chipset.
    NEC Chipset 5 Port USB 2.0 Card
    Scan 5 Port PCI USB2 Card
    For optical drive, recommend the Pioneer DVR-112 or the DVR-115.
    Optical drives.
    For graphics card, you need 4x AGP graphics, with Core Image support. You'll have to buy the 9800 Pro Mac from the US, or search eBay for an ATI Radeon 9700 or 9800 Pro (must be Mac compatible stated). Flashed PC cards (made Mac compatible) Geforce 6200, 6800GT or Ultra, or 7800GS are also available on eBay.
    Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition
    You don't need to upgrade the PSU.
    Sound cards are only available from M-Audio, or, get a sound card in a box in the Griffin Firewave.
    If you plug good external speakers into the audio out, you can get excellent sound without a card.
    Recommend Harmon Kardon Soundsticks
    And, finally, CPU upgrades in the UK are pretty well limited to Sonnet.

  • Anyone know a good place to get a 2GB chip for the new Core 2 duo MBP 2.16

    I jst sold my MBP 17 ionch fro the core 2 duo so I can have three GBs Of ram for ma audio apps. I am trying to find a decent priced 2GB chip unless there is a typo crucial says 929.00 I almost passed out. I used to get all my ram there but that is just too high any other suggestions

    I wouldn't expect a big drop too soon. That's a lot of RAM density on a small board. Unless there's a major increase in demand I wouldn't expect much of a drop in price.
    No doubt there may be cheaper prices than Datamem's. Although their prices are usually competitive, they are not always the cheapest. But they do offer good service, fast delivery, have a good return policy, and experience with Macs. My recommendation is based on a 10 year history with them which has been 100 percent satisfactory.
    But $500 for a marginal 1 GB of RAM is a lot. I'm not convinced it's enough to warrant going from 2 GBs to 3 GBs. I have 2 GBs in mine and it seems perfectly fine for my needs.

  • Any good place to get native extensions? (looking for an ok/cancel modal dialog myself)

    Hi all,
    I imagined someone would have made an extension that just pops up a native dialog and return the answer but I'm finding no real centralized place for extensions.
    I see the examples on the adobe site such as the NetworkInfo and Gyroscope and I may have to turn to attempting to wrap my head around creating one. Before I do that, does anyone know if there already is a native extension to pop up a simple dialog?
    I need to just adjust the title, have the two "Ok" and "Cancel" button setup and get the response from the user. Dimming the screen (modal) so it requires an answer would be great.
    Any hidden treasure troves of premade extensions?

    Thanks very much, this is right up the alley I wanted! I will try this and report back!
    edit:
    Geez you can't even get Xcode 4.2 without Lion. I had to update my system just to get Xcode 4.2 so unfortunately testing will need to wait until tomorrow..

  • Where is a good place to get a reliable battery for my mid 15" 2009 MBP?

    I have seen a few advertisements online for some, but they also have bad reviews. I don't want to send my entire MBP to Apple and have them do it, I can do it. Any suggestions?

    You may try iFixit.com and see if they have a battery for your model MBP.
    Ciao.

  • Where is the best place to get support for iPhoto?

    Hello,
    I have an issue that is listed here, in regards to iPhoto being very very slow, this is something that started to happen a while ago and I have been all over trying to find something to resolve this issue.
    6000+ Images, it used to work fine but now it will not Quit, it just hangs. You can send some images via email then it will crash. I have tried all sorts of suggestions from various forums etc, but nothing. Clearing Cache's etc, nothing seems to help.
    Is there any place I can get help from, or should I go directly to Apple for some suggestions?

    William,
    You have come to the right place -iPhoto forum. It's the best place I know to get the help you need from knowledgeable iPhoto users.
    When you say that iPhoto runs slow and quits, that sounds like a memory problem. How much free space do you have on your boot drive? The OS needs about by 15% free and clear disk space to use as virtual memory. An iPhoto library of 6000 can put a real drain on the system.
    Apple recommends closing down other applications if you are getting sluggish response from iPhoto to free up memory.
    Working in iPhoto you can also speed things up dramatically if you close all the rolls in the library source window, except the one you want to work with.
    If you got the zoom set to give you big displays in that source window then minimize the zoom in the organize mode. I photo creates fasting loading thumbnails for browsing through your library. If the zoom is set all the way up, iPhoto has to load the full size file in the library for viewing in the source window. If it has to load all your photos full size in the source window you will get slow response and iPhoto is apt to quit on you

  • Can imovie11 use plugins?, and if so where is a good place to get them?

    i just got imovie'11 and was dissapointed that there was not a lot of effects. Is there more but i have to click somewhere? Also can '11 use plugins, and if so where is a goow website that i could find some?

    You could find a copy of iMovie HD 06, which has some really nice third party plugin support.
    These people have some great stuff.

    You could check on ebay for copies of final cut express 4, which Apple has just stopped. I just checked and there are a lot of copies around your price range.

  • Quicksilver dual GHz upgrades for ProTools??

    I have a Quicksilver dual GHz G4 that served me well under OS9 and Digidesign ProTools LE prior to version 7. ProTools is a recording application, and I use Digidesign's 002 "control surface" for recording, mixing and editing with PTLE.
    Version 7 or ProTools LE requires OSX Tiger, and to insure a solid transition, I formated my hard drives and did a clean install of OSX Tiger and ProTools. Unfortunately, Digidesign states that the Quicksilver Macs are "not recommended" for use with v7 PTLE, and my Quicksilver machine is totally unstable now. Digidesign won't comment on why they are not recommended, but I'm wondering if there are any upgrades to consider before buying a whole new machine, or going back to OS9.
    I have done a lot of testing, reformatting of drives, reinstalling software, but to no avail. As the Quicksilver ran quite well under OS9 with ProTools, I'm not sure if its a problem with OSX or the new version of ProTools. To run an older version of ProTools, I have to de-install the new version and jump through many hoops to re-authorize (via web sites and an iLok dongle) the software ware and other plug-ins for ProTools.
    The ProTools 002 control surface is a Firewire device, and I wonder if the FW400 bus of the Quicksilver can't keep up.
    There are mixed reviews about CPU upgrades, FW and ATA controller cards, but I'm wondering if these may offer some relief.
    If anyone has any experience using a Quicksilver Mac with ProTools, or any upgrades, please chime in. I could really use a hand here.
    thanks in advance,
    Dave

  • Good place to estimate the price of a Mac?

    Does anyone know of a good place to get a true value of an older iMac? I am looking to sell one we have.

    We actually have a few friends locally who are interested, so shipping would not be involved. I priced it on Mac2Sell.com, and I can't believe how low the value is...here are the specs for some other opinions...

    1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 processor;
    512MB of 533 MHz DDR2 SDRAM expandable to 2.5GB;

    ATI Radeon X600 XT with 128MB DDR memory;
    built-in AirPort Extreme wireless networking & Bluetooth 2.0+EDR;
    250GB Serial ATA hard drive running at 7200 rpm;

    I RECIVED AN EMAIL FROM ADOBE AS  :  As good will gesture, we can help you with the upgrade for PSE 13. We would request you to place the order for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 as an upgrade and then we will provide you the full version serial number for the same product against the new upgrade order"  IS THIS UPGRADE FREE AND WHAT SHOULD I DO, HOW CAN I HAVE THIS UPGRADE?

    Compare with on-line stores. The full version is often cheaper than Adobe's upgrade price.
    See this example from Amazon, but check pricing in your own region.

  • Can I performa an In Place upgrade for 11gR2

    Hi all,
    I goofed a bit, I downloaded and installed 11g R2 (11.2.0.1.0) and installed it. After installation I went looking for the patchsets. Then I learned that as of 11.2.0.2 these are not patchsets, per se, but full installs. (I'll know now to log onto My Oracle Support first!)
    I've read the various threads hear regarding upgrades for 11g and none are quite the same - trying not to recover existing discussions.
    Because I'm installing this as a backbone for Windchill (a CAD file data vault), and I will allow the Windchill installer to create my database and so my installation was software only. The Upgrade Guide e23633 and other documents advise against in-place upgrades. This is a Single-Instance Oracle database with no database created yet, Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition, x64.
    In this forum and others as well as various blogs, have threads and articles on the relative difficulties people have had de-installing 11g.
    Would you recommend I do an in-place Upgrade to get this to 11.2.0.3.0 or use the Oracle De-install Utility (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64) and actually start from scratch installing 11.2.0.3.0?
    (I'm still downloading the 7! zip archives for Patchset 3, so I have a moment before I have to make this decision!)
    Thank you,
    PT

    Thank you for the reply Srini, but it really didn't answer my question.
    I've already been through the Upgrade Guide, that's what lead me to post my question for advice and suggestions. My question is, was it really necessary to perform the Out-of-Place Upgrade - the preferred method - when I had only installed "software only" of 11.2.0.1.0 and had no database created to upgrade? Save the time by simply an In-Place because I was already software only.
    I fully understand reasons for and have practiced the preferred out-of-place upgrade. The fault tolerant undisturbed source database is the only way to go - when there is an actual database.
    Unless someone advises against it, I'm going to simply run the 11.2.0.1 De-Installation Utility first, rather than upgrade in place. Then install back in the same base path the 11.2.0.3 version was. Not that it matters if it is in the same base path or not, but I'll de-install ~0.1 anyway, why not do it first since I have no database to upgrade.
    Cheers,
    PT

  • How do I skip upgrading itunes? I used to have an option, now I can't get past the upgrade for free screen!

    I have been trying to access the itunes store for a week now but can not get past the screen to upgrade for free.  I do not want to upgrade, I tried but can not install the free upgrade because I am using 10.2.2.  I do not want to upgrade I just want to get to the itunes store... how do I get past this screen?  There used to be an option to skip the upgrade. 

    I have an iMac G5 with a pre-Intel processor.  My current OS is 10.4.1.  When I open my iTunes store function, I get an upgrade to iTunes 10.5 page that does not allow me the opportunity to refuse the recommended upgrade and I don't want it because my processor is not the Intel processor.  I can't get past this page to access the iTunes store.  I can't find iTunes 9.2.1 online to download, if that is the only solution.  I can't believe Apple is forcing me to purchase a new iMac in order to continue using iTunes on my current iMac.  I'd like a good answer and solution to this problem.
