168 Pin RAm for Power Mac

Does anyone know if MT8LD864AG-6 168 pin DIMM is compatible with the RAM for Power Mac 8500 120MHz and Power MAc 7200 120 MHz?
Thank you in advance for your advice.

Hi Robert,
The ZIF processor upgrade I have in my Beige G3 MT (300 mHz originally) is a Sonnet G3/500--I wish it were a G4! I installed it when I still had OS9. It stayed in place when I installed Jaguar and, later, Panther.
As Grant mentions, I used a third-party helper program called XPostFacto, "XPF" for short. Installing "unsupported" Panther with XPF was far easier than installing the "supported" Jaguar and the computer is now more stable.
T'was Grant who talked me into trying Panther. Now I can't believe I waited so long! I used an older version of XPF, version 3.1, at Grant's suggestion. V3.1 seems to be the "sweet spot" for installing Panther. Some Beige G3 owners have successfully installed 10.4.x with later version of XPF but more users have reported stability issues than with 10.3.
If you are interested in learning more about the upgrade paths available to the Beige G3, there is a very active forum area here:

Hope this helps!

Need new low-end graphics card for Power Mac G5 (PowerPC 970)

My Power Mac G5 (PowerPC 970) has recently died I believe due to a bad
ATI RADEON X800 XT MAC EDITION video card.
Reason for thinking its the card, is that the machine was performing its intended tasks for several days even though the monitor was snow.
Having trouble determining a low-end replacement. (I no longer need the enhanced features of the RADEON X800 for this machine.
Much appreciated if someone could suggest a product appropriate for PowerPC 970.
Thanks!

I also ran into this issue with my dual G5. When I bought it, I didn't get wireless because it was a dedicated desktop on the network, but I'm upgrading and giving it to the kids to use in a room without wired network. Now that wireless would be really nice and it looks like the official solution is:
"Apple Wireless Upgrade Kit for Power Mac G5 Dual or Power Mac G5 Quad MA252G/A"
which is really expensive and difficult to install. But the weird thing is that I do have bluetooth. I wonder if there's just some little doodad I need to connect to get wireless going too, but I can't find any info on the card, and it looks like it's buried on the motherboard behind all the cooling stuff. I'll probably just spring for one of the USB solutions.

1GB RAM stick for Power Mac G4 MDD Okay?

My Power Mac 1.25 GHz dual-boot G4 currently has 768 MB of DDR SDRAM. One slot has a 256 MB DDR SDRAM PC2600U-25330, a second slot has a 512 MB DDR SDRAM PC2600U-25330 stick, and two slots are empty. The MDD will recognize up to 2GB of RAM.
I have a really good deal on a Apple G5 Power Mac G4 MDD 1GB DDR PC3200 RAM Memory stick. The seller says it will work in a G5 and also my G4. Is a 1GB stick safe to buy or should I try to find two 512s instead? I don't have "matching pairs" now and wonder how critical that is?

Other World Computing only has 256MB & 512MB RAM modules for the G4 MDD. http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?model=175 I would think that if 1GB modules would work, they would sell them. Give OWC a call & ask.
The G5 RAM is PC3200 & may or may not be compatible with your G4. Even if it is, it will only operate at your Mac's processor speed & not 3200. The G5 Macs require matched pairs, but the G4 does not.
 Cheers, Tom

Is this the correct type of Ram for a mac mini?

I have a 2007 Mac mini, and want to go from 1gig to 2 gigs of Ram.
I currently have 2 512's
I need to know 2 things. (i'm pretty sure on both but i'm not a huge hardware guy to bare with me)
1. Will there be any compatibility problems? I.e if i upgrade to 2 gigs will it even help or because the rest of the computer is not being upgraded will it be useless?
2. If i'm good to go, Is this the correct type of Ram? http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=4E665783A5CA7304
Not sure if these are needed but will post anyway:
Model Name: Mac mini
Model Identifier: Macmini2,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Type: DDR2 SDRAM
Thank you in advance <3

NO, it will NOT work.
You have to find the memory specific for Mac, and rule of thumb, Mac Intel chips usually take "ECC" memory. On occasions, You can get away with Non-ECC (on certain PPC Power Mac G5 towers) -- You can check on-line stores, like Newegg, Tigerdirect, or Goolge search for the Mac Mini memory. I got mine (for my two Mac 2,1) on line, and I put 4G (2x 2G), although only 3G was available.
It is worth of upgrade it. just need to find the right memory.

ATA IDE for Power Mac 7200?

The original IDE with my Power Mac 7200 is 1.2 GB. It is getting tired recently. The connecter is a 50 pins. I have a 40-pin 15 GB IDE. How can I use the larger IDE for my PM 7200, if the larger IDE is useable in Power Mac 7200.
Thank you in advance for your advice.
Robert

Your 7200's original 50-pin hard drive is connected to a SCSI bus, not an IDE/ATA bus. To use an IDE hard drive in it, you'll need a Mac-compatible ATA controller PCI card, because ATA controller cards designed for PCs won't function in a Mac. The Acard AEC-6260M features an ATA-66 bus, but is limited to IDE/ATA drives that are 128 GBs and smaller. At $25 (USD), it's the least expensive IDE/ATA solution for owners of older SCSI-based Macs. If you want to use a much larger drive (160 GBs and up), you would need an Ultra ATA-133 Mac controller card, that supports 48-bit LBA.

DVI to s-video adpater for Power Mac G4?

I'm attempting to view digitial photos on my Power Mac G4 on an HDTV with an s-video connection. I've tried Apple's "DVI to video adapter" for the Power Mac G5, but it doesn't work, even after clicking "Detect Displays".
Is there a DVI to s-video adapater from Apple or anybody else that will work with the Power Mac G4? If not, are there any other options?

The Apple DVI to Video converter only works with certain graphics cards. The card has to be able to generate interlaced video at the correct scan rate, and modulate the color onto a carrier signal. For other card you would need a scan converter like:
<http://www.audiovisualdevices.com.au/viewprod.php?catid=&productid=CPT380>
This device has a VGA input, so you might need a DVI to VGA adapter. There may be other devices available with DVI input.

Dual monitor for Power mac g5 dual 2.3ghz

I wanted some advice on which monitors to get for a dual monitor setup and if its even possible to setup on my G5 or do I need a different video card?
Here's my computer spechs:
Power mac G5 dual core 2.3 ghz (late 2005)
Model: A1177
Memory: 2GB DDR2 SDRAM
HDD: 250GB
OS X 10.5.8 Leopard
The only thing I run on this is logic studio 8. I wanted to expand my setup but not sure how.
Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks
< Edited by Host >

It depends on which video card you have installed, though not much. Whichever card you have installed, you should have two DVI outputs available. With the minimum 256 Meg VRAM, you should be able to support two 1920x1080 monitors without a problem, and the "HD" monitors are getting very plentiful and dropping in price. Were I to buy today, I would make sure to get an LED monitor, as that flavor should have a longer overall life than a florescent panel monitor. You can find monitors in 23" dimensions for under $200 a pop, and more 27" monitors are showing up at a slightly bigger bite.

Optical Fun for Power Mac G5 - Chosing a Burner

Hi all,
So I have a Power Mac G5 with a burner that is not so great anymore. I burn at 1x for DVDs and on good days, burn a CD at 4x. Time for a new burner you would say. I would agree.
I have a predicament and wondered if anyone suggests a burner to go with. I'm not looking to spend a lot and just want something that would work well and fit nicely.
I found two that might suit my little G5:
Pioneer
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827129007
LG
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136119
Those two were Best Sellers at New Egg with nice reviews, but nothing on the Mac.
Does anyone have any other suggestions or anything that worked for you?
Has anyone used the brands above?
Thanks for reading and in advance for the help,
Bryant

Hi. The Pioneer 112D is often recommended in these forums - can't recall any adverse reports. I installed a previous version, the 110D, with no problems - works well.
The installation instructions are here
http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/pdf/g5/073-0807.pdf
Installation is a bit fiddly, but not difficult. There are two things to check: that the stand-offs (see Figure 8 of the installation instructions) are the right length to line the drive up with the aperture in the G5 casing - and that you remove the plastic bezel with CD, DVD, etc. on it from the front edge of the tray, so it doesn't catch on the edge of the aperture in the G5 casing - discussed here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4443213#4443213
If your current drive is a Pioneer, the stand-offs should be re-usable. If not, they may be able to be adjusted by not screwing them in fully, and then locking the thread with Loctite or similar.
The drive should be recognised in Blue Apple menu > About this Mac > More Info > Hardware > Disc Burning (System Profiler). If there are any problems, please post again. Good Luck.

External CD drive for power mac 8100

I have an 18 year old power mac 8100/80 AV. It has an internal CD drive that is read only. I need a cd drive that is read/write so that I can copy thousands of files off the mac. I'm assuming that an external drive may be the best route, rather than removing the old drive and installiing a new one. Can someone please advise on two points:
1. Is the external read/write CD drive the right way to go?
2. Where can I obtain said drive?
Many thanks.

Jan and Ji~m,
Thanks for your suggestions. I have to say that I'm not yet sure what to do. I don't want to buy hardware unless I have to, and both of you appear to agree on this point. I plan to give away or recycle the powermac when I get the files off it as I have no use or space for it. I don't need to move the files to a CD; I need to move them to a PC (where I can read them) so I can get rid of the powermac.
The 2,500 files on the powermac are mostly in MS Word, in the first version that was PC and Mac compatible, so I believe I can read them with no problem on my PC when I get them there. Is this a good assumption? Or am I going to run into a conversion problem like Ji~m mentions?
I can't use the 3.5(?) inch "floppy" disk drive in the powermac because it gets formatted to mac-compatible before I copy files to it, and then the PC can't read it.
So I thought of the CD solution I mentioned in my first post because I believe a physical CD reads and writes on both the mac and the PC without being re-formatted. Is this correct?
I like the idea of a cable like Jan mentioned. I googled "AAUI to RJ-45 adapter" and can't tell from the pictures I viewed if I have a matching "AAUI Ethernet port" on the powermac. It has MANY ports, but nearly all are unlabeled! How do I determine what port might be the AAUI that Jan mentions?
If I use the cable suggestion (which I like), can I plug the other end into a PC? That's all I have -- this old powermac (OS 8.6) and several PCs (Dell and HP) with several OS's (W - XP, Vista, 7, and maybe 8). (Jan mentioned moving the files over a network, but the only "network" I have is my in-house router connecting my PCs to the i-net.) So how would I follow your cable suggestion?
Many thanks for all your help!

Wich MacOS is the best for Power Mac G5?

Wich MacOS Can I update to a Power Mac G5? Somebody told me that the last one that I can update is the 10.5.8, maybe I can update it for a newest version but it can give me some troubles, is it true?

Hello,
10.5.8 IS the highest any G5 can go.

Can I use my new iMac 20" as a monitor for for Power Mac G5?

Actually I want to buy the new iMac 20" computer with the intel and then randomly use the iMac as a monitor display for my Power Mac G5 when I am editing video and then unhook it and use the Imac as a stand alone when I'm not editing video with my Power Mac. Will this work please. Thank You

Hello,
It's not possible to use either the iMac (Flat Panel) (G4) or the new Intel iMacs as displays. The only options would be:
VNC set-up. It's fairly low speed of refresh would probably make this undesirable for your situation: Screen Recycler (link)
A video-in device. A device like Elgato's EyeTV Hybrid (link) would not be of sufficiently high resolution to be any use for video editing.

Tiger or panther - is there a version of tiger that works for power mac g4

I was searching for a version of Tiger that shows system requirements are compatible with a power MAC G4 - all I find is the 10.4 version of Tiger that shows system requirements as power PC G4 (not power mac G4). Wondering if anyone can help me out.

The B&Ws are strange beasts, see the bottom of this page for one instance...
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/100SD256324/
Still I'm fairly certain it'll work, if worse comes to worse, I've used XpostFacto to install it on even older machines!

I need an inlet fan for Power Mac G5

I have a Late 2004 Power Mac G5 that needs an inlet fan any good websites?

Hey Miles, Of course the fans work. Why would I offer a non working fan? Anyway I need some info as to which fan you need. They are all called inlet fans. There is the two in the back the two in the middle that slide out for access to the memory and the one up by the hard drive / optical drive bay. The fans are all off my now dead Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5GHz. This is the PCI-X Quad so the Fans all seem to be the same as the DP PCI-X Macs but not 100% sure. Do you know the part # you need? I'll take a pic and post once I get home from work.
