Are there PCI cards for old Mac's to use "n"

Are there PCI cards available to install in older
G4 Macs to receive "n" speeds?

I have a Sawtooth G4 500 and want to know what I need to wirelessly connect to the new Airport Station? PCI card, External device?

  • Are there any themes for my mac?

    Different icons, skins etc

    Not officially supported by Apple for anything other than folder icons. There are third-party hack applications for earlier versions of Mac OS X, but I've not seen any yet that are compatible with Lion.

  • Are there PCI thunderbolt cards for mac pro 3.1?

    are there PCI thunderbolt cards for mac pro 3.1?

    It's that last sentence I'm curious about.  "However a MacPro already has much more capability already built in than Thunderbolt can add."
    I'm thinking of getting a Mac Pro, but see that it doesn't seem to have Thunderbolt. I'm not sure if I care. The reason for the Mac Pro is that I'm topping out my 8gb RAM 27" iMac capacity with the volume of work going through it, and my tech tells me I'm pushing it too hard.  I use it to run a small law office, but usually have about 15 apps open, with lots going on in the network in the background.
    Is there any reason to wait until Apple puts Thunderbolt into the Mac Pro?
    Thunderbolt will not increase the performance capability of the MacPro. It will add a bus that can be convenient, especially later on when Thunderbolt devices become more common, more mature and better supported - oh, and with more common will come less costly. From a pure performance standpoint the existing PCIe slots are much more capable and cheaper to implement. You would be giving up nothing with a current MacPro.
    My opinion. Thunderbolt is really a great move forward in the long run - needed something to replace Firewire and this is it. But there is no reason to wait on Thunderbolt on MacPro - it is redundant.

  • I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010?

    I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Quicbooks Pro 2010 is not responding or opening currently. Quickbooks does not support Parallels anymore.  I hear Apple Bootcamp is an opton.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010 on Mac?

    QuickBooks Pro 2010 for Mac is not supported in Lion. QB Pro 2011 will work, but I just got an email today that 2011 will not be updated to work in Mountain Lion. QB Pro 2012 will be updated for ML.
    Be aware that the Mac version of QuickBooks is shamefully lacking in features compared to the Windows version. I do use the Mac version, but it has more features than I need for a small business, so it doesn't affect me. No one knows why Intuit seems to hate Mac users, but they show it every day.
    If QB Pro 2012 for Mac can be downloaded as a demo, I would strongly suggest testing with it before making a final decision. You will be able to import the Windows data, but possibly not all of it, depending on the Windows version features you use.
    Boot Camp allows you to install Windows on its own, bootable partition. When you boot to it, you are of course running Windows in every sense of the word. Just on Mac hardware rather than typical PC gear. Your Windows version of QB will work there without issue. The problem is having to boot back and forth between Windows and OS X, depending on what software it is you need to use at the time.

  • Internet Cards for the Mac

    I am wondering, does Apple manufacture Internet cards for the Mac? If the answer is no, which third-party-companies manufacture Internet cards that are compatible with the Mac? Which of those Internet cards are the best?

    If you mean Cellular adapters there are several USB adapters (one from Sprint worked with my Mac no problem).  I would check with YOUR cellular carrier.

  • What is fastest possible wireless router and pci card for G4?

    There are many companies offering wireless transfer of data that exceeds the Airport Extreme card and Base Station. Are any pci cards other than AE compatible with a G4?

    Well if you connect via Ethernet (100Mbps) and use 3rd party wireless items similarly spec'd you will get a faster speed. However if your using the Airport card (iMac G4 800MHz can only take a Airport card (802.11b - 11Mbps)) then you will be forever limited to that speed. 
    Apple's Airport Extreme is limited to 802.11g - 54Mbps and is only for 1GHz+ iMac G4's. This is odd as Apple was such an early adoptor of WiFi (1999 on the iBook G3) that they haven't kept up in recent years - but 54Mbps is ample for all but the most demaning applications.
    You can't put a PCI card in an iMac G4 - where would it go?
    Your best bet is a 3rd party wireless bridge that connects via Ethernet and gives onwards access to WiFi networks.

  • ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB 8x Dual (DVI/DVI) (AGP) Video Card for PC/Mac

    We want to be able to use our 30" cinema display from the G4 and was advised in a previous discussion to buy the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB 8x Dual (DVI/DVI) (AGP) Video Card for PC/Mac. It doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Does anybody know of an alternate video card that's currently available that will get us there? (We had the display running from a G5 that quit / logic board failure).
    Many thanks,
    Philip

    The Nvidia 7800GS is a flashed card, runs a 30" with ease.
    BruinMacs on Ebay is a great place to get one, you support the guy who wrote the original ROM for these.
    He doesn't seem to have any for sale right now, but if you email him, maybe he will list one.
    There are also flashed X800s that work on your MDD and can run a 30". They are pricey but will offer dual DVI while the 7800GS is single DVI with VGA for second display.
    There are also flashed 6600GT AGP cards which will work, but harder to find.
    Any of the above 3 will run circles around a 9600.

  • PCI Card for a new SSD. Good Idea?

    Just upgragraded my 2009 MP (processor 3.33, video card, Ram). Just got a new 256 Samsung SSD wich is going below the optical drive. Did a search here about PCIe card for the drive and found that there's good and bad about it. Found this model model (Velocity solo x2). Is there one specific brand more suitable? or just make it simple and install the ssd below the optical drive.
    Thanks

    The 2008 only has two 16x PCIe slots and the Sonnet Tempo Pro should be in the #2.
    Even gpu's do not do as well as later models in performance, and some PCIe cards only supported booting in a 2009 or later.
    Installing Mac OS to Sonnet Tempo I am sure you have read of the issues and how to get around it, is even on Sonnettech.com
    Even though it 'tests' as xyz MB/sec in the real world the system is fine on SATA2 and in non-RAID setups. The 0.1ns seeks and latency and higher IO for reads. Someone did some thorough tests of different SSDs, different PCIe cards and the synthetic benchmarks. And concluded there was no real difference to the system and work load whether the system was on SATA2, but could be work performance using PCIE for other uses.
    Generally I find this to be helpful start: www.macperformanceguide.com on perfomance
    Putting scratch and graphic libraries for Aperture/Lightroom and others on a SSD and on a separarte bus helped. Even helps having iPhoto on SSD and the photo library folder on another drive - so you aren't read and write to same.
    SoftRAID 4 - using 3 drives in a mirror but it uses "stripped reads" seems like it is fast, simple, less overhead and most people just never get idea of using more than two drives in a mirror, but it works great and makes it easy to pull one for backup. SoftRAID also does a better threaded background rebuild, and during idle time scans its drives for errors and bad or weak sectors. A lifesaver. 
    Even using the optical bay for the system might be perfect and then using the Tempo Pro for other uses.
    With system's and SSD's and stripped, then of course a couple restore images and run DU against the array with TRIM enabled on a weekly basis, something, especially if the array is getting hammered as scratch. Tests though show those SSDs can take huge TBs of punishment day after day, but I have seen my own and read of too many errors.

  • Sound Card for the Mac Pro

    Best look for usb/fw audio interfaces which can be inexpensive and easy to get up an running.
    There are many many cards on the market all depending on how many I/O you are chasing and overall sonic results.
    If your in the market for entry level cards - check out
    www.m-audio.com
    www.focusrite.com
    www.digidesign.com
    or
    if your in the semi-pro market, look at www.rme-audio.com (mainly the fireface series)
    My pick if you are an entry level user wanting a great 2in/2out interface, have a look at the Duet by Apogee.

    (I use all their top end pro kit and can tell you they are a very good company in both product and support)

  • Mouse Availability for Old Macs

    Does anyone make a mouse anymore for old macs? I have an old system, with an 7.5.1 OS and a standard keyboard, that still runs fine. I had been using a Kensington "Mouse-in-a-box" Model #642068. But now it needs to be replaced, and I cannot find a compatible mouse. The current Kensington Mouse in a Box for older macs apparently only fits into a deluxe keyboard. Does anyone know where I can buy a compatible mouse?

    1) Thrift stores. Usually there will be a rack or something with a bunch of old mice, most of the time there will be at least one ADB mouse. You may have to try more than one store, or go back from time to time.
    2) eBay. I did a search for "mouse adb" and there were quite a few listings, not expensive, and some were a mouse and keyboard combination.
    3) Here. I bet there are lots of people here who have a spare mouse to share.
    4) Did you try bringing your keyboard into the store to try it with the current ADB mouse?

    Dell only provide some rather old Windows drivers for this model, no Mac drivers at all.
    Plug it in, you may get lucky but frankly I doubt it.

    Buddy, its a user to user community
    Regarding the miniPCI WLan card:
    Such part upgrade is not officially supported and therefore details about compatible cards are not available.
    But from my knowledge many different notebook series have been equipped with different WLan card from Realtek, Intel and Atheros.
    Probably such cards would be compatible even if they are not listed officially as supported part.
