G3 BW to g4 upgrade confusion

I recently picked up a G3 and got it up and running with OSX 10.4. It is mostly for my kids. I would like to get a G4 processor for it, but I am very confused about exactly which G4 processors will work with it. Will any processor labeled G4 up to 1 ghz work in a G3? I see labels like Quicksilver and digital audio and I know they refer to the machine the processors were pulled from, but I have no idea if they would work in the G3. If anybody could point me to a list of exactly which processors I can use I would be very appreciative.
Thanks!

What kind of G3 are you upgrading and what do you ultimately want to do with it? What are some of its other configurations (hard drive, RAM, etc.)? The reason I am asking is that several of the ZIF upgrades on OWC seem to run at least $150, maybe $100 used (nothing used for you there right now). You might be able to pick up a used G4 for about that much which would immediately upgrade everything like bus speed, etc. Especially if the used G3 is an older machine like a beige then I would definitely think about a used G4. Even if your G3 is all souped up with tons of RAM, hard drives, etc. you will still be limited by some aspects of its architecture.
Incidentally, I was patient and eventually found this used dual 800 Quicksilver (see. configs. below -- just added a second HD) for $200 locally. If I had done the same upgrades to my g3 beige it would have cost me at least $400 and I still would have been limited in some features that could only be changed by a complete computer change (e.g., native firewire and USB).

FB4 Premium Edu. upgrade-confusion

After discussing with several licensing resellers and the Adobe licensing support itself I'm even more confused than before, you guys at Adobe definately don't make it easy upgrading or even buying an education version of FB4 Premium
What I currently have
- Flex Builder 2 Pro. edu license
- Free Flex Builder 3 Pro edu license from freeriatools.adobe.com
- Extended FB 4 Premium Beta 2 Key
What I would like to have
- Flash Builder 4 Premium education
Education Volume Licensing Reseller
Ok, our education volume licensing reseller was completely confused about the name change, however they offer three products:
- FB4 Premium Upgrade from CF-Builder
- FB4 Premium from Flex Builder 2 / 3 Professional ( unbelievable cheap price of USD 40.- )
- FB4 Premium from FB4 Standard
However I have never heard of an upgrade option from Flex Builder 2 to Flash Builder 4 Premium and they were not able telling me if the freeriatools-key will work for an upgrade.
Also they were not able telling me if I can get the Free FB4 Standard for education version and then upgrade to FB4 Premium education and there don't seems to be an option buying the FB4 Premium edition directly, they just offer upgrade versions.
So they told me I will have to give the Adobe licensing center a call.
Adobe Licensing Center
Again, first of all a confusion about the name-change. However after several internal discussions I had to pass them my Flex Builder 3 key and they told me it should be possible upgrading to FB 4 Premium using this key....should..so they redirected me to the Adobe direct-selling hotline.
Adobe Direct-Selling Hotline
"Flash Professional?"...no Flash Builder 4 Premium from Flex Builder 3 Professional but using a freeriatools key.
.."please wait"....
..."we only have a business version, would you like to buy this one?" No thanks, I would like to buy the Flash Builder 4 Premium education version.
"ah ok, then please contact your educational volume licensing partner". ...But they told me to contact you because they don't have such an option, just upgrades.
.."sorry we can't help you in this case" mkey thanks.
..as they have no idea what Flash Builder 4 is as it seems, I decided to ask within this forums, maybe someone else already upgraded his/her FB3 edu pro version to FB4 Premium....or at least I hope so
Ok seriousely:
Is it possible upgrading my Flex 3 edu pro (freeria) or Flex 2 pro license to FB4 Premium?
Is it possible getting the Flash Builder 4 Standard edu from freeriatools for free and then upgrading it to FB4 edu Premium through our local volume licensing partner?
Thanks in advance for your answers
--Michael

Hoping to get an answer to this question as well - I work at a university and have been using Flex 3 with a key from freeriatools on a daily basis for programming everything (Flash, PHP, HMTL, Javascript, XML, etc etc etc) seems like. I received my freeriatools key for Flash Builder 4 only to find out it was for the Standard edition, not allowing use of the memory profiling for Flash - making me wonder what else will be disabled when I go to build stuff - not sure why this was done as it wasn't disabled in Flex 3 for edu. As the decider for my team if we are going to move to FB4 I'm staying Flex 3 until the vendors and adobe figure out what they are going to do for educational versions of FB4.

Annual upgrade, NE2, and more early upgrade confusion

I see a lot of confusion here regarding upgrade eligibility and credits. I've tried to research to get a clearer understanding but there are still some things that are hazy to me.
Regarding NE2 - I found this: "Annual Upgrade was a marketing program available to customers who signed up for a two-year plan of at least $49.99 or higher. Enrolled customers were eligible to upgrade after one-year."
Great, but when exactly did this "marketing program" end? Is it only available to the primary line if there are multiple lines on an account? Does the $49.99 refer to JUST the calling plan, or total (including data/messaging/etc)?
I've seen plenty of articles like this talking about Verizon giving early upgrades to those who would normally not be eligible. Trying to figure out what the criteria is, it seem like this early upgrade offer was extended to customers who purchased phones last year, up to late 2010. Aside from that though, I can't really tell what makes a one customer "eligible" and the next ineligible. I was wondering if anyone had information on this that could clarify the issue.
Also, I've noticed many smartphone owners, even those that purchased recent phones like the Thunderbolt on contract, say that they've been able to get early upgrades. I'm just curous as to what qualifies someone for an early upgrade and what Verizon looks at when deciding eligiblity, since with everyone's different experiences, it seems like there aren't many hard and fast rules. Thanks for any help

Thanks for the replies guys, that gives me a much better idea of what's going on as far as early upgrades go. Like everyone else, I'd love to be able to upgrade a little early, but when I check upgrade date, it seems to be on the typical 20 month schedule. I was just wondering if I might have some sort of eligibilty though since I renewed my contract in 11/2010, well before the NE2 and annual upgrades were discontinued. I'm pretty sure I would meet the calling plan requirement since my plan includes voice/unlimited messaging/data, but I'm on a family plan and don't know that I'm the "primary" line. Although I'm 99% sure nobody else on our plan has been eligible for NE2/annual upgrade either...You can sign into MyVerizon to see which line on your account is the primary line. Or you can look at your bill. Normally, the primary line is listed 1st. If you signed a contract for your line in November of 2010 yet are not eligible for an upgrade, then you can be certain that your line is not the primary on your Family Plan.
It'd be nice if I could find someone to look at the acoount and offer some sort of explanation as to why/why not I'd be eligible for annual upgrade, but the only "help" I've gotten is reps telling me when my upgrade date is, which is already well known. Or telling me to open a new line if I really want to upgrade now, which just seems like a wasteful option, not really saving any money over the long term compared to just buying a device at full retail. Reps will NEVER give the annual upgrade date PRIOR to the line actually becoming eligible for the upgrade. This is because it is not a definite upgrade eligibility, but a conditional one. If your plan changes prior to your line reaching the annual upgrade eligibility, you could lose the ability to become eligible. Then you would just complain to Verizon that you were told you could upgrade at a certain date and are not able to do so.
For example, you have a Family Plan with 1 Primary(contract signed in 11/2010) and 3 secondary lines(contracts signed in 11/2010). The Primary line decides in July of this year to leave the plan to join up as a secondary on a different Family Plan. In this case, although the Primary WOULD have been eligible for an annual upgrade in 11/2011 had they stayed on the original Family Plan, it would no longer become eligible for the annual upgrade because it is now a secondary phone on a different plan and the $9.99 line access fee would not qualify for the annual upgrade. If this person was originally told that they would be eligible for an upgrade in November of 2011, they would then complain that they weren't able to upgrade now! Furthermore, the secondary line which was switched to the Primary line on the original Family Plan WOULD NOT be eligible for an annual upgrade in 11/2010 because it became the Primary line AFTER annual upgrades were discontinued in January of 2011.
I am (mostly) satisfied with the actual data/voice service I get from Verizon, but their customer service seems to be on the decline, I'm my experience at least. They seem to be more concerned with getting new contracts (customers) than providing services to long-time customers and doing what they can to keep them happy. Just an observation as a VZW customer of 12+ years. Not to say this isn't expected, as they're a huge company and didn't get where they are by NOT putting $ first, but as the carrier with the reputation of having the best customer service, I've found myself being less and less impressed over the years. Sorry to vent here, but hopefully honest feedback is something that could be at least a bit useful to Verizon.

RE: Memory Upgrade Confusion and Second Hard Drive Recommendations ?

Hi,
Afraid I'm a bit confused with what would compatible and what wouldn't and was hoping I might get some advice. I want to increase memory by about a GB on my Power Mac G5 (spec. copied below purchased UK early 2006). I understand that once you have the right cards (two installed in parallel) that its quite straight forward. I searched the apple site and the cheapest it gave me for my model for 1 Gb was:
Apple Memory Module - 1GB DDR2 533MHz Non ECC - 2x512MB DIMMs
at £140
http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/91234046/wo/hn5g4hFDfgHw3aTb YlYSoSb9duX/3.0.28.9.5.9
Then Micro Ankiva quote this and I assume here I would need four of them to get the 1 GB. Also though not sure if this would be compatible ?
Apple 256MB PC3200 DDR400 DIMM Desktop Memory 184Pin
£25 x 4 so £100
http://www.microanvika.com/product.asp?PNO=MAC57117
Then finally I came across these guys at Mac:Upgrades offering this which again I assume I would need 2 of them (they said these are compatible but I'm dubious because they are so much cheaper?)
Kingston DDR2 PC4200 DIMM - 512MB
£17.11 x 2 so £cheap !!
http://www.macupgrades.co.uk/store/productinfo.php?productsid=199
Here is my spec.
Machine Name: Power Mac G5
Machine Model: PowerMac11,2
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (1.0)
Number Of CPUs: 2
CPU Speed: 2 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 512 MB (2x 256 MB DDR2 SDRAM PC2-4200U-444 OK)
Bus Speed: 1 GHz
Boot ROM Version: 5.2.7f1
Serial Number: CK6100AVV5V
Any advice on this is hugely appreciated.
Finally while I'm here I figured I may as well ask for recommendations from people with regards reliable second internal hard drives. Ideally I'd like to go for 500GB - I currently have 160 GB. Would this be possible with what I have - I read (though not sure correctly) that maybe only 500 Gb in total is possible. Anyway any pointers on this too gratefully received.
Thanks
Phil

Hi MrJax
Couldn't find your machine via the serial number on apple support pages. Is it a DDR2 G5? 8 slots - max 16gig ram - PCI-X? If so its the same as mine and I'm just looking to upgrade my ram after having some shoddy old dimms die on me! Many thanks to the reseller that did me on that one!!!
RAM can be a real conundrum, clock speeds and CL's...very confusing. Keep an eye on my post as well as I'm researching what to install as well. Keep in mind whatever you have in there will affect the speed of new RAm you add, so adding faster RAM than what's already there its pretty pointless.
In the past I've always gone with Crucial RAM. I've installed it on several machines over the years and its always been very reliable.
I've just moved abroad and so can't buy Crucial here so will be going for Kingston this time round, just not sure which exact dimm type yet.
Kingston have a better warranty situation than Crucial (think crucial is a year) and from what I've heard, from people who should know, it's very good RAM. Both are really cheap and to be honest whichever you go for buy it from the manufacturer. Crucial deliver really fast, as i said I've always bought from them and never had an issue. Even one time when I thought the RAM was dodgy they sent me a replacement without any problem! Both Kingston and Crucial walk you through the Ram options on their websites, its very straight forward.
I'll keep you posted on how the Kingston RAM shapes up
As for HD's. My advice is to go for a Western Digital drive. If you're in the UK then hit ebuyer.com Great prices.
Hope that helps.

Computer memory upgrade confusion

I am interested in adding memory. When I read the information on the Apple support page for upgrading memory it tells me that my G5, 1.8 mhz, dual processor machine should use memory that is "333mhz, pc2700". However, when I look at information in "about this mac" I find the two 256 meg memory sticks that are installed are listed as "256 mb DDR SDRAM pc 3200u-30330". Apple info says that the pc 3200 memory is only used in machines that have eight expansion slots and can hold 8 gigabytes of memory. My machine is only upgradable to four gigabytes. I really do not know what pc 2700 or pc3200 means. The current memory was ordered as an upgrade and installed at the factory.
My plan is to add two 512 meg memory sticks in the slots currently used by the 256 meg sticks and move the current memory sticks to the open slots.
I am confused about what type of memory I need to purchase.
Any help and clarification would be greatly appreciated.
PowerMac G5, 1.8mhz, dual processors Mac OS X (10.4.3) 512 megs RAM

You don't need to move the existing RAM, they can stay happily where they are. Just add the two new RAM modules to the two remaining memory sockets.
As for the type of RAM, your dual 1.8 G5 needs RAM of the following type DDR SDRAM, pc2700. However the pc2700 is a reference to a speed rating of the RAM module. pc 3200 is the same type of RAM but can work with a faster memory bus. As a results, pc 3200 will work fine in your G5, though there will be no increase in performance, just because the memory can run faster, your G5 is still running at its rated bus speed.
Sometimes, it can be cheaper to put the faster rated RAM in. This is because more of the faster rated RAM is produced, driving down its cost, while less of the slower RAM is made, keeping its price steady or even goes up.
DDR SDRAM pc2700 or pc3200 should work fine.

Email Upgrade Confused

Hi,
I'm slightly confused about email changes.
I was informed a long time ago that my account would eventually be upgraded to "BTMail" which I understand is different to the BTYahoo mail and is no longer provided by Yahoo.
However I have now received an email many months later saying that my BTYahoo email will be upgraded to the latest Yahoo version.
Does this mean the switch to BTMail is cancelled and we are staying on BTYahoo?

JDK upgrade confusion

I had up-to-date JRE and an older JDK5 and wanted to get latest JDK.
I installed jdk-1_5_0_08-nb-5_0-win-ml.exe. There is now two JDK directories JDK1.5.0_0[18] , jre1.5.0 and jre1.5.0_0[12468].
But the environment variables did not get changed.
CLASSPATH=.;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\lib\ext\QTJava.zip
javabin=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_01\bin
JAVA_HOME=C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jdk1.5.0_01
QTJAVA=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\lib\ext\QTJava.zip
I was expecting one of the updates to correct the environment variables. Or at least a document that explains what needs to be done. I am confused by the JRE vs JDK and what should point to which.
Can anyone clarify this or point to a doc that does?

Java installs do not create or update MS's environment variables - do that manually, as explained in the Java Installation Instructions.
And note that your installed the Netbeans - Java combination package,
jdk-1_5_0_08-nb-5_0-win-ml.exe
Uninstall all but the most recent JDK and JRE version, and point the variables to them.

UPGRADE CONFUSION! What are the facts?

Hi All!
I have the 'new' Intel 1.83Mhz mac mini but would like to upgrade my processor. Is this even possible? The techie over at my local mac store told me that the processor can't be upgraded due to the motherboard?! Is this true or farce?
I have been lurking around cyberspace trying to find information about what type of processor the mini uses and I'm not sure what to ask for IF it is possible to upgrade.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Processor swaps are easy, just take care not to damage the nylon posts holding the heatsink in.
If you ebay it right, you can get a good Core Duo for under $100. I bought a Core Solo mini with logic board problems for $200 that I fixed in 5 minutes, then bought a 2.0Ghz Core Duo off of ebay for $70. So I was able to get a decent system together for half the price of a new mini. It all just depends on how much time you're willing to put into it and if you're at all comfortable with taking stuff apart.

Photoshop CS5 and CS5 Extended upgrade confusion

Hello,
I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS5 from CS2 in the last couple of weeks as I was in need of a program to edit videos in and wanted to upgrade my Photoshop anyways. However, I soon realized that you cannot edit videos in CS5 and it is instead CS5 Extended that I needed. Unfortunate, I know. Should have done my research .
If I wished to have Extended now, is upgrading YET AGAIN from regular CS5 the only option I have or is there some other option to switch what I bought, pay the difference, and get what I needed in the first place?
Thanks!

There is no "swap", indeed you'd have to buy a sidegrade. But frankly, and I really don't mean to be rude, "editing" videos in Photoshop? Seriously? Unless your kind of editing focuses on paint-centric stuff like rotoscoping or artsy effects or you do animatzed web banners at most, this is slightly more than insane. PS doesn't deal with even some basic stuff that's commonly associated with video/ film processing and even Premiere Elements can do many things better not to speak of the "big" Premiere, After Effects and other such tools.

One Year Free Speed Upgrade Confusion

Just received a letter from Verizon offering to double my download speed from 3.0 to 7.3M. Tried to do it on-line but the website listed in the letter wouldn't take my username and password info. Called the number in the letter to look into the upgrade. First agent I spoke to was all set to upgrade me then told me my 327 wireless router/modem could not handle the upgrade and I had to buy a new unit for $39.99. Didn't sound right to me so I told Verizon to forget it.
As things go with these call centers, I decided to try again with a different agent. This one told me my cost would actually increase because I didn't have bundled service. Wrong again - I do have bundled service - phone, broadband and wireless. Strike two!
Tried again and the third agent was clueless.
My past experience with Verizon has been good but this makes me wonder.

Ahh, I see what you're asking now. Basically, you're wondering if, when Windows 10 comes out, will you get a retail license of Windows 10 to replace your 8.1 license, or an OEM license that's based on the machine that you upgraded.
Based on the statements from Microsoft, I'm guessing the upgrade will be an OEM license. Gabe Aul, through his tweets, has been very clear to point out that upgrading a system to Windows 10 will get free updates
for the life of the system. This, to me, sounds very much like an OEM license - the license, and free updates, offer dies when the system dies.
Now, Microsoft could change this offer so it upgrades your retail key as well - always allows you to activate as many Windows 10 machines as your retail key allows. But based on the statements coming from Microsoft, I don't think
is likely.
I was reading about the licenses the other day but it wasn't specific for Windows 10. But what it said basically when you buy a PC with OEM windows (Say a Dell). Your licensing is Dell basically licensing Windows to you. Technically Dell could refuse
to do warranty work if you upgrade an OEM Home version with a retail Pro version. I did actually have that happen to me once with Gateway. Once I told them I didn't buy Windows from them they said i needed to call MS even though it was a hardware issue.
The way MS used to do when a new OS was coming out they had OEM sell computers with the old OS and and agreement to get the new OS for free when it came out. You signed up and you actually got the upgrade for the OEM. People would get upset as some OEM's
were faster the others. So they may do this the same way and if you have the retail you get it through MS. That's just a guess.

Dv6-1122us, upgrade confusion? SSD an option for me?

Ok, I've recently ran a system test in BIOS for the HDD. Short test>passed Long test>failed (almost immediatly). I spoke with HP support and they were awesome. I have a new drive on the way, no cost to me at all. While chatting with the tech I asked if i could upgrade to a faster & larger drive. Well that was out of the question but he also told me that I couldn't get a faster drive, only larger. Currently i have a 5400rpm 320G drive. He told me I could go to a 5400rpm 500G, my user manual states that there are 7200rpm models that go in this dv6-1122us. So
Question #1: Can I install a 7200rpm drive in this laptop that is on my user manual parts list? Or maybe a SSD?
Or are these user manuals not very specific, covering many different models of the dv6?
If so how can i find specific upgrade options for my laptop?
If there is not enough information here to make a wise decision just let me know!
Thanks in advance!!

16GB RAM upgrade + an SSD upgrade (biggest wallet can afford).
However, if it is a 13" model, there is an inescapable wall, since those carry just a single GPU and share the video memory with the rest of the apps. 15" and 17" models have a higher powered, separate and autoswitching GPU and up to 1GB of dedicated VRAM.

3.1 upgrade confuses Alpine car stereo

I realize this is not the place for car stereo tech support, but the new iPod Touch 3.1 upgrade has had a weird side effect on my iPod-ready Alpine CDA-9883. Now, upon power-up, the display reads "NO SONG" and refuses to play, search or do anything until I physically unplug and re-plug the iPod.
In case I can't figure this out, is there a place to downgrade to the previous iPod software?

Cliff: Thanks, that seems to work.
I've noticed a couple of tracks' information will stay up on the display after the next song has started... no biggie, but it seems the Alpine doesn't like something about the file organization on the new OS 3.1.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could update the Alpine's OS with a file on a CD-R? Alpine, are you listening?

Memory upgrade confusion.

Hello.
Sorry, i know that has been so many topics about this but i must to be shure.
I have 2x256MB preinstalled modules (in user accessible and other one slot, off course), and want to replace them with 2x512MB. Manual says its posible "up to 1GB".
Perhaps, seems like is possible to put 2x1GB instead...at least thats what i reading about all over net, but there is so many different versions of modules and too much tiny differences between G4 iMac's so i cant risk any kind of overheating or other problems...just...if anyone can confirm.
These are specifications;
+Model Name: iMac+
+Model Identifier: PowerMac6,1+
+Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (3.3)+
+Processor Speed: 1 GHz+
+Number Of CPUs: 1+
+L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB+
+Memory: 512 MB+
+Bus Speed: 133 MHz+
RAM;
DIMM0/J22:
+Size: 256 MB+
+Type: DDR SDRAM+
+Speed: PC2100U-25330+
So can i freely add up to 2 or only up to 1 as factory declared?
Thank you!

There is no performance difference. You need one 200pin SODIMM and one 184pin DIMM to fully upgrade your iMac.
I also recommend that when you upgrade the 184pin DIMM you also replace the PRAM battery (purple in the photo below). It's a 3.6volt 1/2AA battery that cost around $5/£6 and given the age of your iMac it's worth replacing to avoid problems later.
