How does a G4 iBook with Tiger run with 512 megs ram?

Hi,
I am thinking about getting a G4 iBook that will have 512 megs of ram. How well does Tiger run with 512 meg of ram? I know that OSX loves ram. For word processing will I notice much difference if I expand it to the 1 1/2 gigs it will hold?
Thank you

My ibook runs ok with tiger, but haven't used it for anything other than internet browsing.
Ps, I have a mere 256mb RAM.

  • Can I install 10.4.11 or above on my G4 Titanium 400 mhz with 512 megs ram?

    Hello,
    My wife and I are trying to determine if we can both find to purchase, and install 10.4.11 or above on our Titanium laptop. She has recently bought the Adobe Creative Suite CS 3 and it requires 10.4.11 or above. I'm pretty sure we can add more ram at a reasonable cost but are trying to determine if we can even install 10.4.11 on a machine with a processor that is this slow.
    I'm not too concerned about it running CS applications (photoshop,illustrator,in design) at top performance. It's really more of a secondary computer for us at this point. As long as the programs would function we would be fine. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
    Cheers,
    Vance

    Hi, Vance. I believe you can still order Tiger directly from Apple, by telephone only, by calling 1-800-692-7753.
    You can certainly install Tiger and update it to 10.4.11 on your Powerbook, and you can maximize its RAM to meet CS3's minimum requirement of 1GB. But you'll be running it on the second-slowest of all G4 processors, with marginally adequate RAM, and with a really antiquated and underpowered video accelerator that (like all notebook computer video cards that I know of) can't be upgraded. So CS3 not only won't be running at top performance; it will be running at rock bottom performance. You may be able to live with that, but doing so will certainly be harder if you also run CS3 on another, substantially faster machine whose performance will contrast sharply with the Powerbook's.
    Years ago, I upgraded my 225MHz PowerPC 604e desktop Mac to a 500MHz G3 processor and a bigger, faster hard drive. I was also using a 166MHz Powerbook 1400 with a PowerPC 603e processor at that time, and it was a third or half as fast as the desktop Mac for most ordinary purposes until I upgraded the desktop. After the upgrade, the desktop was at least eight times faster than the Powerbook in real-life processor- and disk-intensive uses. Using the Powerbook (which had been tolerable enough before) suddenly became unbearable, with the result that I soon replaced it.

How come this values reset to null? What is causing this to reset?Nothing in this has anything to do with the sever. You need to check what the client did on his machine that caused registry to get modified?
    How does oracle ODBC works with Oracle database? Need to know all the steps involved?The connectoin from any client is initiated by a client process. This client process is supposed to get a server process to do his work. So if this is done, the client can work now with oracle . Please see the concepts guide for the gory details of the entire process.

  • How does create a server with multiple Clients ?

    How does create a server with multiple Clients ?
    Thanks

    For a multithreaded server you will need a thread to listen and at least one thread per client. If the conversation is half duplex, one thread per client works very well, if it's full duplex you will find one thread to send and one to receive much easier to program.
    I posted a Simple Socket Server that uses 1+2*clients threads.

  • How does lightroom 4 deal with lossless compressed raw files

    how does lightroom 4 deal with lossless compressed raw files

    Ok, sorry about the vague question.  My concern is centered around a new camera purchase ( Nikon D810 ) which produces huge files.  I shoot in RAW and never use lossless compression only uncompressed RAW because of my conservative nature .  But now it looks like I will be using Lossless compressed to help deal with the file size.  So the question was based on fears of data lost.  Thanks for the replies, and they confirm what I already suspected. So now I can feel confident using lossless compression.
    Thanks

  • How does BTYahoo mail synchronise with mail in Liv...

    Windows 7 (64 bit), BT Broadband. How does BTYahoo Mail synchronise with mail in LiveMail or Outlook? I ask because in my case incoming emails to Outlook (and previously to Windows Live Mail) are also recorded in the BT Yahoo Mail inbox. However the mail in the Sent box are not recorded on BTYahoo Mail. Neither are sub accounts mail in Inbox or Outbox in Outlook shown in Bt Yahoo Mail. Is this normal or do I have to change something to keep BT Yahoo Mail in step?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It sounds like you have your email set up as Pop.  This only pulls emails down from the Inbox of the acct.  It doesn't upload emails up to the server.  That would need the acct to be set up on Outlook as IMAP.  Unfortunately, I don't know the details for that, but one of the fine folk on here will be able to provide those for you.  I'm not sure if yahoo has it's domain details set up so you can automatically set it up as Imap by letting outlook create an IMAP acct on there, never having tried it.  If it does, it will just be a case of creating the email address again automatically, selecting IMAP rather than Pop when creating.  You may also need to select IMAP as being allowed to be used within the settings on yahoo mail, but as I said other folk can provide a lot more cogent information with regard to the yahoo element than I can.
    With regard to the sub-accounts showing on Outlook but not in the webmail, they would have their own webmail inboxes, which don't show when not logged into them.  They would be showing on Outlook becuase the relevant email has been set up on there.

    I currently have a PC with Windows Outlook.  If I add an iPad to the mix, how does the iPad interface with Windows Outlook?

    Isn't Outlook simply an email client or a software application on a computer? You can add an email account - whatever email provider that you use - right on the iPad. You can sync your Outlook contacts and calendar if that is what you are asking about, but Outlook itself has nothing to do with the iPad.

  • Just got girlfriend a new iPad2. Her iMac is a PowerPC G5 (Tiger version 10.4.11) with 512 mb RAM. What's the simplest, most efficient way to get her iPad2 up and running and synced to her Mac?

    Just got girlfriend a new iPad2. Her iMac is a PowerPC G5 (Tiger version 10.4.11) with 512 mb RAM. What's the simplest, most efficient way to get her iPad2 up and running and synced to her Mac?

    Most of the Apple store sales people and some of the genius bar people are only knowledgable on Apple's more recent offerings. They are not very knowledgable, I found, on older PowerPC based Apple computers, I'm afraid.
    Here's the real scoop.
    Your girlfriend's G5 can only install up to OS X 10.5 Leopard. This is the last compatible OS X version for PowerPC users.
    OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and OS X10.7 Lion are for newer Intel CPU Apple computers.
    Early iMac G5's can only have up to 2 GBs of RAM.
    Later iMac G5's (2005-2006) could take up to 2.5 GBs of RAM
    2 GBs of RAM will run OS X 10.5 Leopard just fine.
    The very latest iTunes (10.5.2) can be installed and runs on both PowerPC and Intel CPU Macs.
    However, there are certain new iTunes feature that won't work without an Intel Mac.
    One of iOS and iTunes feature is sync'g wirelessly over WiFi.
    This will not work unless you have an iDevice running iOS 5 and Intel Mac running 10.6 Snow Leopard or better.
    Although, I was disappointed I would not be able to do this with my G4 Mac, it's not a biggie problem for me.
    So, your girlfriend's computer should be fine for what she intends to use it for.
    The Apple people either just plain didn't know or we're trying to get you to think about buying a new Mac.
    At least, as of now, not truly necessary.
    If Apple, at some later point, drops support for PowerPC users running 10.5, then would be the time to consider a new or "newer" Intel CPU Mac.
    My planned Mac computer upgrade is seeking out a " newer" last version G5 for my "new" Mac.
    I can't afford, right now, to replace all of my core PowerPC software with Intel versions, so I need to stick with the older PowerPC Macs for the time being. The last of the G5's is what I seek.

  • Can/How does Label Security integrate with Documentum Trusted Content Serv

    How easy wouldit be to use Oracle Label Security to manage all information in the Oracle dabase including Documentum metadata so that a single security policy cn be defined..at least for the information stored in the Oracle database.
    How does the documentum security tag get mapped to an OLS label?
    Customer needs only a high level understanding...
    Steve Flournoy

    I am not familiar with documentum but you can use OLS for:
    Row level security based on labels added to the tables you want to protect. Apply the labels to the documentum metadata tables and you have implemented OLS. The Documentum tags can be mapped to OLS labels in Oracle Policy Manager:
    Set up the OLS labels just like the documentum security tags in Oracle Policy Manager .
    For even more customization use Application Contexts and Virtual Private Database Policies.

  • How Does the scheduler works with ODI engine

    Hi All,
    I am new to the ODI and I was going through the documents over the web regarding the scheduling.
    Can anyone please let me know how does the Scheduler in ODI is coupled with the ODI engine.
    How does the internal scheduler works and how does the external one works. What are the processes the it calls while invoking the scheduler.
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sumit

    Scheduling in ODI is controlled by a special type of ODI agent, strangley called the ODI scheduling agent. This agent is installed as a service and as well as being responsible for all tasks associated with a normal agent is also responsible for managing ODI jobs based on any scheduling information associated with an ODI scenario. All scheduling information is stored in the ODI repository and the scheduler agent reads from this to determine which jobs/scenarios need to be executed and when.

  • How does "systemctl suspend" mess with my sound?

    Hi there,
    I just wanted to say I am really impressed with the desktop handling of systemd and dbus. It's so easy to use all the nice applets across different WMs. Cool
    Now there are however still things that amaze me. How can happen that when I suspend my system "systemctl suspend", that means my sound might be messed up, when I get back to my system and even after a restart?
    I am not looking for the answer, I will find that sooner or later, but it's the logic I want to get. It's just not something I expect or even remotely relate.
    tl;dr How does a suspend screw up my sound system??
    Best,
    Magum

    Maybe it's resetting or not restoring sound? You have a systemd unit files called:
    My Terminal wrote:alsa-restore.service                        static 
    alsa-state.service                          static 
    alsa-store.service                          static
    I think you need alsa-store and alsa-restore. But I'm not sure.
    If it doesn't work with suspend (but it does with reboot) then you might have to add a WantedBy to sleep.target.
