Radeon X800XT in a G4 MDD 867 mhz?

Can a flashed Radeon X800XT be used in a G4 MMD 867 mhz?
I assume it will need to draw power from the optical drive, is a standard Y cable OK?
Do pins 3 and 11 will need to be taped?

I installed that same video card into my old 1.25 Ghz G4 MDD.
You will still need to tape the pins, I believe, though.
As far as power, I am not sure in your MDD model.
All I had to do was take one card out and put the new one in.
The card I had before this was a 256 VRAM ATI 9600 PC/Mac edition card, but did not perform as well with some things.
The X800XT is a much better all around performer in the G4, G5 model Macs.
The only thing I was advised about is that this video card runs a lot hotter than the other standard video cards for Mac.
I was advised to install a PCI slot fan to keep both the interior of the Mac and the video card cooler.
So, when I installed the new GPU card, I installed the slot fan at the same time also.
Be advised though that the X800XT is a longer card and with the edition of the PCI slot fan, it was a very tight fit to get the MDD cases closed and locked.

DVD Drive Not Working in MDD 867 Mhz Dual

I have had intermittent problems with my DVD drive. Now the unit will not work at all. I can't eject the drive tray using the eject key on keyboard, and if I manually eject the tray using a paper clip, then insert a DVD and push the tray closed by hand, the disc will not appear on the desktop.
Is there any way to troubleshoot this device to tell if it's the drive itself, or something other than that?
Thanks,
Noel

It sounds like the drive, fairly cheap & easy to replace...

QS 867 Mhz processor in a QS 2002 motherboard??

Hi there.
I'm trying to get a Quicksilver 867 Mhz processor (with L3 cache) to run in a Quicksilver 2002 motherboard, but it ain't working. I've been pretty consistent in my troubleshooting, but before I toss it out (or try soldering the L3 cache onto a QS 733 mhz cpu... muhaaahhuuhhahhh), I'd thought I'd throw this out for some feedback in these lovely discussion pages.
I did earlier get this cpu to run on a Digital Audio motherboard and it booted up no problem - even the L3 cache was recognized. But it was unstable (unstable, but very fast...). I had originally thought that the motherboard was faulty (I got the exact same errors with the original 466 mhz cpu and a QS 733 mhz cpu - both a digital audio and a quicksilver psu have checked out ok in a different machine). I went through much trouble, troubleshooting, and eventually got a new/used Quicksilver motherboard, only to find out that the actual trouble-maker was a piece of RAM. Which was very insidious, because the mac(s) booted okay (the system profiler even said it passed), it only caused problems when I'd open certain applications, such as Firefox or System Preferences (which would eventually crash), or tried to do a new OS install or did a software update (none of which would complete, either in panther or tiger). I'm thinking it might have been a high density piece of ram that got pass me. I think Techtool said there was a problem with a piece of RAM earlier, but I thought it was refering to the new piece of 512mb (which had come from another quicksilver) and I tested that piece in other machines and it was fine, so I discounted it as the source of the errors. It turned out to be a piece I already had (256 mb hynix) and which I thought I'd used before with no problems, but I guess not (I had a couple of extra sticks).
Anyway, back to the current problem, now even with the new (tested) quicksilver board (it's a 2002 - but that shouldn't matter), the QS 867 mhz processor won't work and I don't know why! It did run in the digital audio board, only exhibiting the same errors as the other cpu's due to the bad piece of ram. It hasn't been treated any differently than the other 3 processors I used testing, in fact, probably even more carefully, and they are all ok.
It sometimes will boot to the apple OS X icon but stays there. I also get either a single beep, two beeps, three beeps, four beeps or no beeps at all (ie no power light, just the red light of the board, fans running, etc). I don't know if it got damaged earlier when testing (I did try it on another digital audio motherboard that I think was damaged in shipping), but I'm very careful (and have done a lot of computer updgrading, peecee and mac). The only thing I can think of is that when I first plugged this cpu into the latest QS motherboard, I tried to boot up without putting the heatsink on it first (not sure if this is important or not, it got hot but so did the 733mhz cpu which I'm using now - and nothing smells burned). I heard two little pop sounds, then the computer shut down (as it did before... many times with the other motherboard). I did also find out later that one of the cpu mounting posts wasn't tight to the board (it had snapped from the screw when I tightened it - didn't know my own strength), but usually no contact to the board would just cause no response, not a short to the cpu - and once again, the 733mhz cpu which is fine, went thru the same thing. I did get it to boot after this to the apple os x icon (I let it sit for a day). The motherboard is fine - I'm running from it now with the QS 733 mhz processor (and from whence I troubleshooted the bad piece of ram). And I've methodically zapped pram, reset the pmu, removed/changed batteries, took this part out, put that part in, threatened, cajoled, even sang to it... til I'm literally blue in the face - to no avail!
Any suggestions? Or it this processor fried? Or is there something I'm missing (maybe in regards to the QS 2002 motherboard)? I've searched and nothing comes up that I have to do differently, and when I put the old 733 mhz cpu back in it (not changing anything else), everything runs fine (a lot slower, but fine, as I wipe a regretful tear away).
Thanks for any input.

This configuration has been running stably using the QS 733 Mhz processor (and ran stably before with an earlier qs motherboard in a different machine). So unless there is something different with the 2002 motherboard, and all research indicated it completely backward compatible, nothing I have installed is causing the problem. I have stripped the machine(s) down to the original configurations at some point, and...

Can anyone tell if it would?
Yes, if it fits into the slot.

Use the Accounts pane of System Preferences to disable automatic login and log out or use Fast User Switching to change to another account as needed.

In Praise of the Quicksilver 2001 - 867 MHz

Yes, I have newer machines but this one has been working very, very well for over six years and I decided that I was not going to let it go and not give it the Leopard treatment. I find it amazing how well it is working with all the current system updates, a process that would cripple any older PC. I was a little concerned to find that now this machine is at the bottom of the Leopard food chain, but I did a backup on an external if I had to find my way back to Tiger.
Over the course of time I made some changes. I swapped out the 32 MB ATI Graphics card for a 128 MB model three years ago (Core Image as software though); I swapped out the 60 GB hard drive with a 120 MB model (largest this machine can take); and I added a PCI (SATA) card that allowed me to install a 250 MB internal as well. I also added an Airport (not extreme) Card to connect to the local network. The machine was built with 1.12 GB of RAM.
The installation seemed to go well, about an hour or so overall (I believe this machine has a 4x DVD read). Of course I had the issue with the Login based on 10.1 or earlier and found this right after my login after the installation. I had to do a new keychain, but (although a little inconvenient) it was fairly easy to do.
The first thing I noticed is that the icons for the PCI card connected drives had changed. Before they looked like the main hard drive, now they are orange and are similar to the FireWire attached drives. Everything seems faster than Tiger, and that is quite impressive on an over six year old machine. Safari is snappier than ever. Mail is fast as well. I don't miss the Spotlight delay while typing at all. Quick Look and the additions to viewing files in the Finder work fine and are very useful.
My menu bar is not transparent (not enough GPU power?), so for some detractors this may be a good thing, but it doesn't detract from the use at all. I'm a left-side dock person and I liked the original design that looked like when it was on the bottom, but the current configuration is OK and the lights for active programs are very easy to see. It seems to be using up more RAM than previously, but I'll have to keep watching that and see if it's overall or just certain things.
Overall my rating of this effort is a big success, and I'm sure I'd find it harder and harder to live without Leopard each day if I did not upgrade this machine. I'm not expecting this machine to act like a top of the line model, but with it's new spots, this mature machine has a lot of life left in it!
Some things I've tried so far (not in great detail, just briefly):
Photoshop CS seems to work.
Filemaker 8.5 seems to work.
Rise of Nations seems to work (maybe a tad slower in some respects, but barely noticeable)
Word seemed to work, although it seemed a bit cranky when initially highlighting text and moving windows.
Still bonding with Stacks, seems useful but requires some mindset adjustment, but it is faster than having the Application Folder in the Dock and holding it down for a menu of the contents. It would be nicer if you just saw a folder though and not the first application icon in the dock.
Spaces are definitely Cool!
Preview (4.0) has an odd crash after adjusting colors and trying to save
Disk Utility (11.0) takes a while to repair permissions and only give the rotating status bar while doing so.
So here are some thoughts from the bottom edge of the Leopard territory -- and they are good! And I still have a lot of testing to do yet.

Well, it's been a month with Leopard and I like it very much, but on this machine I not quite "sold" as of yet. I'm hoping future updates round off the rough edges and put the past spark into all aspects of the machine.
I really like Spaces, CoverFlow and QuickLook.
I really don't like the Preview Crash, Disk Utility Speed and Indication, Hunger for RAM, and the "Little Stall".
The Preview crash still happens when adjusting and trying to save, but this is happening among a large number of different machines so it may be with the GPU and Leopard coding.
Disk Utility still takes longer than Tiger in repairing permissions and the graphical indicator of the task is still not fully corrected yet.
RAM seems to be more of an issue than it ever was with Tiger. I've got 1.125 GB well within the requirement, but at times it seems to get taken up more frequently than under Tiger. While running Tiger I never had to check what was using what RAM with Activity Monitor. It seems that more stays active with Leopard as with Tiger the active was always somewhere between 25% to 40% of RAM, and the inactive was at least that much or more, but active would slim down and inactive (less yellow than blue - on Activity Monitor standard colors) would increase, but never any slowdowns with this scheme. With the same amount of applications running in Leopard, the yellow (active) will work it's way up to half with very little blue (inactive). Over time if you leave the machine on and sleep more RAM will kept getting taken up. From my observations it seems to be Safari, which starts out at about 50-80 MB for five tabs, but overtime and surfing it will balloon up to over 300 MB and it makes more sense to quit and restart Safari to get back more RAM. I thought it might be related to Spaces, but I turned it off and the RAM usage was the same. I always expected Leopard to use more of the RAM, but I think there must be some optimizations that can be done to make better use of what is available and to curtail Safari's thirst for memory. Make no mistake, Safari is a great browser; and is my number one choice.
The "Little Stall" (using a Seinfeld-esque slant at naming) is also a result of Leopard I'd like to see the last of. While running the new screen savers "Shell" or "Arabesque" or using any of the iTunes Visualizer (including the original), the effect will run for about three seconds then they're be a "little stall" of about half of a second and it will continue for three seconds and on. It almost seems like there is some disk usage or caching involved and seems odd as I have 128 MB of Video RAM (ATI Radeon 9000 Pro). Could it be that even with 128 MB that Core Image is being done as software and not hardware is causing the the "Little Stall"? I find that hard to believe that this is how the effects are supposed to work on a machine with a non-programable GPU, since there are a number of machines that are well within Leopards requirements that have non-programable GPU's. How many iBooks and other machines are out there with 32 MB GPU's of the same type? I'm hoping that future updates will bring us updated ATI drivers that allow Leopard to take advantage of the same things Tiger could without issue.
All that said, I have Tiger on a backup drive with a complete backup of the drive when I did the upgrade, and I booted up in it the other day to update my Mail if I decide to take this machine back to Tiger and concede on Leopard. As I was working in Tiger, it was as good as I remembered, but in the end I was really missing some of the Leopard features. So I'm keeping Leopard (updating Tiger mail as a fail safe) and hoping future updates will take the Leopard experience on the Quicksilver 2001 - 867 MHz to where it needs to be.
So in the end, I'm a bit torn between what I had, what I have, and keeping hope for what I will get in the end. I'm a few tweaks away from true happiness, but the wait is excruciating.... I know I'm not alone, so let's hope the tweaks and fixes come fast and furious.

Install OS9 on a G4 (867 MHz computer)

I'm trying to install Mac OS9 on a G4 (867 MHz) computer. It is currently running OS 10.3.9. (I'd like to keep OSX on the machine as well.)
I tried booting the computer from a generic OS9 install cd - the one that is white with a large gold 9 on it, in order to "perform a clean installation."
The computer won't even recognize the cd! It stalls on boot up and eventually just goes to the OSX start up. It recognizes any other cd/dvd, but just not this install cd. After a few minutes the computer will "kick" the cd out. I've tried a # of install cds, and it does it to every one of them.
Any ideas!?
ps. I've even tried to re-boot the machine from the restore cd's that came with this machine and the computer won't recognize these disks either.

Hi, jlehrer -
1) Software Restore CDs are definitely model-specific. If the ones you have available are for a different model G4, they will not work on your G4 867MHz machine.
Perhaps an important issue - Software Restore CDs are intended to revert the drive to its original as-shipped configuration. Although it is possible to use them to re-install without erasing the drive in the process, it is very easy to accidentally do just that.
2) System Profiler should have that info available, in the Hardware Overview section on the System Profile page. These pages from http://www.apple-history.com may help -
G4 QS '01
G4 QS '02
G4 MDD '02
The education version of the G4 QS '02, the 867MHz model, is not specifically mentioned on those pages for some reason, but would share the same basic criteria as the other G4 QS '02 models, including needing the version of OS 9.2.2 it shipped with.
Apple KBase Article #25114 - Mac OS 8, 9: Compatibility With Macs can be very useful, too, in determining what OS Install CDs may be used on various Mac models.

Connect 17" Studio CRT to Quicksilver 867 mhz G4

I have a 17" CRT Studio Display connected to my B&W G3. I just got a Quicksilver 867 mhz G4 and I am wondering what kind of adapter(s) I will need to connect the Studio Display to the G4. Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the information. That's plug looks exactly like what I need. However, I am still wondering about the other half of the solution that involves the monitor's power source. Currently, I am using this monitor on an old B&W G3. The power cord that comes from the monitor plugs directly into the back of the G3 tower to get its power. That connection is a female plug rather than the standard male wall-socket plug. I am guessing that I could just replace that monitor cord with a standard computer power cord, plug it in, and have the monitor get its power directly from the wall socket rather than through the computer.
Does that make sense?

Ati Radeon X800XT

I have an ATI Radeon X800XT video card. Is it possible to connect my two new 23" Cinema displays (DVI) to it? I know I can connect to the ADC with an adapter, but what about the Dual-link connection? Also, do I lose performance?
Thank you.

Yes, it will run two 23" displays. Just use a ADC to DVI adapter for one of the displays. Dual-link and single-link DVI use the same connector, just some of the pins aren't used in single-link. A single-link DVI device will work on a dual-link DVI port.
The performance will be a bit lower with two displays, because the graphics memory, AGP bandwidth, and graphics processor time have to be spilt. You are displaying twice as many pixels, with the same hardware

Anyone running Leopard on an 867 Mhz computer?

I've got a Titanium G4 867 Mhz and I'm wondering if Leopard will run
decently on my machine or not. I know that it meets the minimum system requirements but if it runs poorly it's not worth it.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.

Hey There,
I just installed Leopard on both of my G4 powerbooks last night. One is a titanium 667mhz DVI and the other a 667mhz titanium Vga model... I tricked out the installer into believing i had a 1ghz cpu by using openfirmware before i inserted the install dvd which I purchased at my local Apple store. If you want me to tell you how let me know. I had a few problems do to the consitency of my previous Tiger drive. I had to reinstall it a couple of times which honestly was a pain in the behind. When I totally erased the hard drives and installed fresh new Leopard It was a success. The very first boot was reall slow as expected. When leopard opened up for the very first time after all the welcome stuff and registration, It was a lot slower then tiger to my surprise which didnt make me to happy after all of those long hours of install after install. So I decide to go to the upgrades menu and check for upgrades. Once I installed the leopard 10.5.1 upgrade it was Way faster then my tiger ever was. I really don't see why Leopard needs at least an 887mhz because it runs Superbly on my 667mhz. And I've messed with everything already with massive multitasking to really see stabillity and It is better then tiger at least for me. The trick is A CLEAN install with No previous data from tiger. and then after install just manually transfer documenst and applications if you like But def not the user data especially if your tiger was modified in anyway shape or form by you.

Performance Problems: Power Mac 867 MHZ G4

I have a Power Mac 867 MHZ G4 with 1.12GB RAM. Going from Panther to Leopard REALLY HURTS performance. Programs launch slower and even MS Word typing characters echoes slower. Is this something that more memory would cure? THX.

Thanks Joe. That seems to have been the bottleneck. Now that Spotlight has finished indexing, the system actually runs ALMOST as fast as it did under Panther.

Need 867 MHz G4 to run Leopard! Dang!

As per rumor, we will need a 867 MHz G4 with 512MB RAM and 9 gig of available disk space to run Leopard. Any one wanna trade?
Cheers! DALE

Hi Simon,
The only Mac we've shed was a "pre-owned" Performa 6200/75, the Mac that got four Road Apples from LowEndMac. Had I known it was going to be a giraffe (a horse built by a committee) I'd never had bought it (explains the cheap price). Our 6100/60 was MUCH faster than the 6200. Still, the 6200 let us limp through a difficult period until I got the first beige G3 in 1999 (still have and use).
I parted out the 6200; it was such a poor ambassador that I didn't want some other poor sod ending up with a bad MacTaste in his mouth!

Upgrade from 867 Mhz to 1.33 Ghz?

Hi, is it possible to upgrade from 867 Mhz to 1.33 (or better) Ghz?
I have a Powerbook G4 I bought in June 2003. I am still running on 256MB RAM and 40G. The battery doesn't really work anymore. I'm guessing I need a new battery, more memory, etc.
I realized I need to upgrade to 1.33 Ghz because iTunes 7.0.2 will no longer play video, and apparently I need at least 1 Ghz to play video.
Should I attempt these upgrades, or should I try to trade in my Powerbook and get a newer model?
Thanks so much,
Lisa.

I wonder whether it would really be worth the effort. As someone else has said, the logic boards from the later versions are not the same and it is unlikely you would be able to successfully upgrade.
Having said that you might want to consider upgrading the memory and the hard drive. I have the same model as you and have 1.12GB of RAM. I don't have any problems playing video from iTunes (although the odd video will sometimes stutter). In addition there isn't really anything that important (to me) I can't run. Programs like Garageband can put a bit of a strain on the system and iDVD encoding/burning is an overnight job for a full DVD but overall this is still one very useable system. Increasing you hard disk space can only be a good thing for your system too! One benefit of hanging on is that you will save a bit of money which you can put towards a new one!
The processor upgrade mentioned here sounds interesting but I have never heard of it before so am not in the position to offer any advice on it. I am a little surprised about the battery. I use my Powerbook everyday, often using the battery and have done since I got it in Feb 2003. I still get a couple of hours out of it...

Will Radeon x800xt support 30" ACD plus a 23"ACD

I have a dual 2ghz G5 tower with an ATI Radeon x800xt graphics card. Will the system support two Apple Cinema Displays simultaneously: a 30" plus a 23""?

According to ATI, the X800XT has one dual link DVI port (for the 30" ACD) and one ADC port (for legacy Apple displays). If your 23" display is the newer aluminum version, you'll need an adapter.
Hope this helps!

Can I get an upgrade from 667 MHz to 867 MHz for a PowerBook G4?

I'd like to use my old PowerBook to support an iPod Touch for a family member, but need to install Leopard to do that. I bought a new copy of the OS for this but can't get it to install and now see that I need 867 MHz and have 667. What to do?

The deal-breaker may not be the processor but the lack of USB 2.0 on the older PowerBooks. Newer iPods require USB 2.0 and a 667mHz PBG4 has USB 1.1.
You can use a Cardbus adaptor to provide USB 2.0, like this:
IOGEAR Hi-Speed USB 2.0 CardBus 2 Port USB 2.0 for Laptops
These are getting harder to find as newer computers ship with USB 2.0 capability.
FWIW, I recently bought Leo by calling the Apple Store and installed in on a Powermac G4 1.25Ghz with 1.75G of RAM and a 64MB VRAM video card. It is not very limber compared to Tiger on the same machine, Even if you use the installer hack, I'm afraid you will have an mostly unusable computer.

Not impressed with the ATI Radeon x800xt!!

I have been using the ati radeon x800xt for about two months now. I do motion graphics and 3d and I am not impressed. Barely saw an increase in AE 6.5 or Maya and Motion is painfully slow.
I have a G-Raid 300gb that runs at 7200rpm through FW800.
With 3.5 gb of ram I would assume I would see a major increase.
Is it because I only have 2.0Ghz
I am using all the high performance settings in the preferences and still no luck.
I am dying here. please help!!!
2.0 GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) 3.5 GB RAM, G-Raid 300 GB, ATI Radeonx800xt

It doesn't sound like the Radeon's fault, sounds like the G-Raid isn't keeping up with your demanding tasks. You might need a faster solution for piping the data through. Hmm, what's your G-Raid's transfer rate right now? Mine gives a solid 80Mb/sec read rate (500Gb G-Raid) FW800. I don't think it's because you only have a 2GHz machine, that's still a really solid performer...
You might need to stripe 4HD's in RAID 0 or just get a pair of Raptor 150's in an eSATA enclosure and then you'll see some serious motion.
