Have a Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 w Geforce 6200 Video card.  Need to replace. Do I need a mac specific, or will a PC version work?

I need a Geforce 6200 Video card. The present card is 'flaky', causing ocaisional freezes on startup.  Does the replacement have to be mac specific, or will a PC version work?

A replacement card MUST be Mac specific unless you have the know how to hack the ROM to a Mac ROM (flash in a PC first).

    Exporting via Compressor may be recommended but it is slow and doesn't fully support all available filters, etc.
    Try exporting the timeline as a QT Movie (the "normal" export) using Current Settings and them submit the resultant clip to Compression. Works for me...

  • I have the following Apple Computer: Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4, 2 MB per processor. Can I put install new Intel Xeon processors in place of the current ones to bring my Mac up to the MacPro standards and so I can install the new Mac software?

    I have the following Apple Computer: Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4, 2 MB per processor. Can I put install new Intel Xeon processors in place of the current ones to bring my Mac up to the MacPro standards and, if so, can I then install the new Mac software (Lion)?

    As has been clearly stated, no, no, and no.
    If such an upgrade were possible, it probably would be more money than it would be worth.
    If you're running a G4 (dual-processor even) you can pick up a used Mac mini (intel that is, and something from 2010 or newer would be the best bet) that will be screaming fast compared to a G4.
    Once upon a time, processor upgrades were not only possible, but a good deal, and a relatively inexpensive way to get more life out of your Mac. I upgraded a G3 tower to a G4 for  few hundred dollars, and I was glad I went that route at the time. Finally,  CPU upgrades, at least as far as I know, aren't available anymore.

  • Fan speed problem Power Mac G5 Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC - please help

    Please HELP, I have a fan speed problem with my Power Mac G5 Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC
    This is a NOT an Intel machine. I am running Mac OS X v10.5.8
    Power Mac G5 - PowerMac 7,2 - Power PC 970 (2.2) - 1.8 GHz with 2 CPUs - L2 Cache (per CPU) 512 KB - Memory 8 GB - Bus Speed 900 MHz - Boot ROM version 5.1.5b1
    I have included below Links to download a sound file (.m4a) that I recorded of the fan speed problem and both a .pdf and .spx files of my system profile.
    download sound file
    http://homepage.mac.com/rep3/filechute/myG5dualsFans.m4a
    down load .spx file of my system preferences
    http://homepage.mac.com/rep3/filechute/systemProfileREP3-G5dual.spx
    down load .pdf file of my system preferences
    http://homepage.mac.com/rep3/filechute/systemProfileREP3-G5dual.pdf
    When did the fan problem start?
    After I replaced the mother board on the computer.
    Why did I replace the mother board?
    Because the experts at apple agreed with my diagnosis that the major crash problems & kernel panics must have some thing to do with a logic board gone bad. They would not work on it, because this Power Mac G5 dual 1.8 GHz machine is now a legacy model.
    What I have done to attempt to fix my fan speed problem? yes I checked the obvious things, here is a list:
    1) yes I checked to be sure that the new mother board was the same part number as the original one, and that all things that were unplugged from the old mother board - were actually plugged into the new mother board.
    2) all the fans work, I can see them spinning if I use a flashlight and look at them (cover on and off to get at some of them)
    3) check all RAM to make sure: a) it was installed properly b) that the RAM worked using TechTool Pro c) even started the machine with only the original RAM that came with it.
    4) I installed a Temperature monitor - to see if there was something reading as very hot inside that was causing the machine to continually run the fans at a high speed. No, no heat issues that I can see. Here are the reading from the sensors in degrees fahrenheit, 2009-10-11 16:11:01 -0500
    CPU A Die Temperature: 75.7℉

    6) followed the SMU reset instructions for
    Power Mac G5 (Late 2004)
    To reset the SMU on a Power Mac G5 (Late 2004) computer, simply do the following:
    • Turn off the computer by selecting Shut Down from the Apple menu or by holding the power button until the computer turns off.
    • Remove the power cord from the computer.
    • Wait two minutes.
    • Plug in the power cord.
    • Turn on the computer.
    7) followed the SMU reset instructions:
    Resetting the Cuda/PMU
    How to reset the PMU:
    • If the computer is on, turn it off.
    • Disconnect ALL cables from the computer, including peripherals and power.
    • If possible, move the computer to a place where you are not standing on carpet.
    • Open the case and ground yourself by touching part of the metal frame inside the computer.
    • Find the Cuda or PMU button
    • Press the Cuda or PMU button ONCE. Do not press the button more than once before starting the computer up again.
    • Wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the cables you removed in step 2 and turn the computer on.
    • If the computer still does not respond after resetting the PMU, the computer may require service from an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    8) ran disk utilities, repaired permissions
    9) found a setting in the system preferences that a chat room person suggested had something to do with fan speed. In Energy Saver, under options, processor performance was set to highest, I set it to automatic - this did not change anything that I could tell - BTW I checked my other G5 (a single processor that works fine) that is the setting that that it is set to, and it is nice and quiet.
    10) restarted the machine, ..
    11) found a Fan Control System Update - but it did not install when I tryed to install it -
    12) booted from OSX install disk and ran that disk utility
    13) used OnyX to fix disk permissions, clear caches and temp items
    Nope - still have the same high speed fan problem. ... PLEASE HELP!!
    I have been reading in the MacInTouch reader reports - found this: some one said to use this - thermal re-calibration using the Apple Authorized Service Providers' disk - but that's not available, at least I can not find it - anyone? have an answer to finding this - or can do it for me? I am in Chicago.

    The Genius at the downtown apple store said that because it's a "legacy machine" they would not work on it, .. so should I push them?
    Well, I personally think that's ridiculous, I'd Push them, I'd call AppleCare & talk up the chain if need be... there the ones that have or should have that Disc... man o man... Personally I'll never visit an Apple Store again in my lifetime, maybe try an independent AASP if none of that helps!..

    Man-o-man, pop my cork before I explode on that one, if I had anything to do with it I'd close that store.

  • What is the latest OS I can use with a mac G5 with a dual 2.3 Ghz PowerPC G5 processor?

    What is the latest OS I can use with a mac G5 with a dual 2.3 Ghz PowerPC G5 processor? Everything on my computer has been running so slowly in the last few weeks. Have I finally outgrown OS 10.4.11? Would there be some other problem that would sudden make all my speed take a nose dive? I have 8.5 gigs of RAM...  Please advise!
    Thanks!  Matthew

    Everything on my computer has been running so slowly in the last few weeks.
    First open Console in Applications>Utilities, see if you have reapeating messages.
    How much Free Space do you have on the Hard Drive?
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

  • Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5: is it possible to upgrade to latest OS?

    Hi!
    I'd love to upgrade to the latest OS. But does my computer (Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5) can handle it?
    (I want the Magic Mouse, but seems to me like I'll have to buy a whole new computer for that! Doesn't make sense! My computer is not THAT old!)
    Thanks to everyone!
    Chris.

    Now... How much does an upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 costs?
    They no longer have 10.5 listed on the Apple Store online... they probably have, or can get a copy at a retail Apple Store, or you might be able to find it at a Best Buy. The cost of it new is $129. If you can find a used copy on eBay, you could probably get it cheaper, but make sure you're getting an original disk and that it's not a gray disk that shipped with a particular machine (which won't work on yours).

  • What standards are  the USB ports on a Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5?

    What standards are the USB ports on a Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5? USB1 or USB2? If USB1, is there a card to equip the computer for USB2 or USB3?

    USB 2.0. USB 3.0 is not yet supported in OS X. You can purchase USB 3.0 cards for Macs, but I don't know if they work in your slots. See www.caldigit.com, for example.

    It is almost as if the program does not exist on my computer. If I search for it, the only thing that comes up is the installer. I cannot find it anywhere despite the fact I have installed it numerous times, uninstalled it and conducted a fresh install, and the Adobe website checks says that it is installed.

  • Will Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 run Leopard?

    I just bought a MacBook Pro and purchased Leopard (had to get the install disks since I bought the Macbook prior to Leopard release). I also have a 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 and need to know if I can load and run Leopard on it? It currently has OS 10.3.9 and would like to get it up to speed and in sync with my MacBook if possible . . . but am still confused about everything I see on in discussions as to whether or not this is possible. Help!
    Robin

    The G4 can readily run Leopard. Here's the requirements:
    *Leopard Technical Requirements*

    However, the license that came with your Leopard install DVD limits you to one Mac, unless you bought the family pack.

  • Play iTunes video through large screen off a Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5

    I want to play iTunes videos out through my cpu onto a large screen format. Does not have to be HDTV, any screen will do. I own a digital firewire camera if that would help. Is there a compostie video out on my CPU? Some method to convert it to composite or component video? What about using something from Canopus to convert the signal? Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    A replacement card MUST be Mac specific unless you have the know how to hack the ROM to a Mac ROM (flash in a PC first).

  • Dual 2.7 Ghz PowerPC G5 Keeps going to sleep

    My Dual 2.7 PowerMac G5 keeps going to sleep - particularly when working in power hungry programmes such as Aperture. In fact it is such a problem now that I really can't use Aperture since the machine goes to sleep every minute or so. (I can always wake it up by pushing the space bar.)

    PowerMac G5 2.7 Dual   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi The Hatter! Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my query. Unfortunately I've tried all your suggestions (apart from reinstalling 10.4.9) and nothing has worked.
    Reset the PMU; zap pram/nvram from cold start; or,
    from Open Firmware.
    I zapped the PRAM but to no avail.
    Never let drives sleep?
    Yes this was set on 'Never let drives sleep' anyway.
    Did you add any drives? Seagate?
    I have a factory-added drive; the computer arrived from Apple with 2 400 Gb Hitachi HDS724040KLSA80 hard drives
    any PCI cards?
    None
    Does it happen in SAFE MODE?
    Yes it does.
    Have you got any background tasks 3rd party to
    monitor the system?
    There's NetBarrier Monitor and VirusBarrier Monitor
    What do you see when you boot in Verbose mode also?
    What am I looking for here? The screen fills with all sorts of things but I have no idea what they mean!
    Did you "use" your Mac when you updated to 10.4.9?
    did you use the combo updater? might even want to
    rerun that - after doing the old routine of "backup,
    repair, run Disk Warrior" first. And run the update
    in Safe Mode just to reduce background programs.
    The problem was occurring in 10.4.8 as well - and may have even been happening before that, but has become worse in 10.4.9
