Is there a SATA and USB 2 CARD for my G4?

I am looking to expand my old G4 to read SATA HD and USB2 DRIVE. Please recommend one. Heard some problem about deep sleep freeze. Thanks!

hi P.O.
Using a SIIG serial ata card (sc-satm12) with a Western Digital 200Gb drive, and an IOGear USB 2.0 card without any problems. I also made sure to set energy saver to "never"...

If you are referring to an iDevice, sign out of your new Apple ID and sign back in with your old one - they should all be there.

What is the best e-Sata PCI RAID card for Mavericks.

What is the best e-Sata PCI RAID card for Mavericks. Bought a new MAC PRO with Mavericks and the older PCI 1095,3124 that I used on older MAC Pro does not work. The MAC sees it, but the drivers never show up as being installed. If I could find drivers that work or a recommended PCI card it would be appreciated.
Thanks

PM made sense - 6 yrs ago when disk drives were much slower. Today it is a bottleneck.
SAS makes more sense. Outside of SSD, no disk drive maxes out by itself one PM interface (an SSD will) but it also means just two drives are enough to do so. So check out why to avoid PM:

Recommend compatible PSU and graphics card for P35D3?

Recommend compatible PSU and graphics card for P35D3?
This weekend I’ll be taking my rig to a PC repair shop and ask them to swap out my PSU and my graphics card.
Because I’ve RMA’d all the components (see signature) several members of different forums, and the tech support of the various components, seem to think that my boot problem is because of a compatibility issue with either my Ultra X3 600W PSU or my XFX 8600 GT and my P35D3.
I need to be ready to make decision, without having time to research, if the repair tech recommends a replacement.
Here’s my considerations:
I selected the Ultra because it's both modular and 85% efficient (it also has the required 8-pin cable to power the P35D3's CPU and it has SATA power cables.
I selected the XFX 8600 GT card because it is dual-link (2 DVI outs -- Dell 30” & Viewsonic 19”) and it has no fan, and is DX10 ready. I’m not attached to the idea of no fan. I’m a speed freak but not a gamer or an over clocker--I like the option of trying out games.
Both the Ultra and the XFX are somewhat medium priced.
If the repair tech discovers that other PSUs or graphic cards work then I might be able to get Ultra or XFX to accept a return. Neither company accepted my offer to pay extra to exchange mine for another better model.
Suggestions please.
Thank you,
Kerry

Thanks Boss,

Portege R835-P56X : are there no Wifi and soundcard drivers for WIn XP ?

I have just got a Portege R835-P56X . Are there any Wifi and Soundcard drivers for Windows XP for this laptop ? I want to downgrade to win XP as I have a huge collection of legacy software which have compatibility issues with WIndows 7. I can't find the required drivers on the Toshiba website, all though there are drivers for webcam or touchpad. I don't understand the reason for having a few drivers for XP but not all the required ones. Surely one can't use a laptop without Wifi or audio.

Portege R835-P56X
Best to upgrade Home Premium to Professional and then install XP Mode. Works really well here.
   Upgrade to another edition of Windows 7 by using Windows Anytime Upgrade
   Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7
It's not necessary to have hardware vitualization enabled. See KB977206.

USB and Firewire Card for Mac Pro 3.0

I am running out of USB and Firewire Ports. Any suggestions on expansion cards for Firewire and USB??
Thanks
John

The Sonnet PCI USB Express cards have this problem too - for the record. Sonnet know about the MacPro not waking with it installed, as do Apple. I am sure Apple willl come up with something, I may even find a workaround, but it has always seemed that expansion cards with all my Macs [ waaaay too many] have produced unpredicatable problems.

Hard Drives and video card for new CS5 system

I've read through much of the threads in the hardware forums and find I still have questions. I am just beginning to learn how to edit and it is not a source of income for me at the moment. My sources will be from tapes from my Canon HV20 and at some point either a Panasonic GH2, Canon 60D or similar.
I have bought the following:
ASUS P6X58D-E motherboard
24 GB of Patriot Sector 7 DDR3 1333MHz memory (9-9-9-24)
Intel i7-950 3.06 GHz CPU
I plan to use Cineform NEO or maybe NEO HD to ingest my files.
I also have 4 Seagate 750GB 7200.11 hard drives I can use.
It seems like the best bang for the buck for a video card is a GTS 450 at about $100 because I can't find any data that indicates a GTX 460 or a GTX 570 would make any difference (see http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5.htm)
As far as hard drives goes, Harm's article on creating separate storage makes sense to me. It seems like I could create a "4 drive" system quite easily (see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/662972). Given that I am not ready to spend moeny on an Areca card until I can develop my skills, I am wondering if I should get one of the new WD Velociraptor 600GB (SATA 6) drives as my system drive for about $280, a 150 GB (SATA 3) Velociraptor drive for about $100, or some other fast drive.
Given that my motherboard can support RAID, should I consider RAIDing the "D" drive or the "E and F" drives?
Is there any value to using an SSD drive for the "E" drive (page file and media cache) [see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/662972]? Microcenter has a 64GB drive for $100.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Harm,
First let me say, I didn't mean to exclude Bill Gehrke. I just didn't know what was what. Thank you for explaining that to me. Let me also say the you and Bill have a great site.
I have a question for you, in the tests I have run with my systems, I am not seeing any speed difference between the 450 and 480. Now granted, they are AMD processors and I know they don't have the SSE 4.1+. Here are my systems that I ran the tests on:
An AMD X4 Quad Core computer running at 2.9 Ghz with 12 gigs of RAM and a single Samsung 7200 rpm SATA 3.0Gb/s hard drive
An AMD X6 Six Core computer running at 3.2 Ghz with 12 gigs of RAM and a single Samsung 7200 rpm SATA 3.0Gb/s hard drive
Both computers were running the same version of the NVidia driver and all non-essential programs were disabled.
When I test the 450 and the 480 in the AMD X4 system, they are turning in pretty much the same level of performance, in that system.
The same holds true with the AMD X6, the 450 and 480 turn in virtually the same level of performance, in this system.
The AMD X6 with either the 450 or 480 does turn in a better performance over the AMD X4 with either video card.
The question.... Are you seeing result that are like this? Where using the exact same computer, turns in the same results with different video cards.
From the number of emails I get about the article, other have reported this to me also. I have had a few people who said when they did see a minor speed increase when they did switch between a 450 and a 480 and a couple who did see a good speed increase.
I am working on changing the article to reflect this and would really appreciate your input or Bills input on this.
I have looked at your benchmark chart and read through the result, but one thing that concerns me when reading some of the results is what programs do they have running in background, if any. And how is that effecting their performance. That is why I used the two systems I listed above to do the tests with. It gives me a controlled enviroment to do test the performance of the video cards in.
As a side note, when I tested the 450 and 480 cards in a friends Intel I7 system, again we didn't see any performance difference between the two video cards, but he did have some programs running in background which may have caused the perfornce results I got.
Best Regards

Best Graphics and Tuner Card for 865 Pro with XP MCE (Maybe Vista?)

Hi all,
I'm looking at rebuilding my 865 Pro
I haven't upgraded the graphics so what do people recommend as the best AGP card for the 865 Pro
I have the MSI tuner but I am looking a ditching instant on for MCE would like to get a idea for digital tuning card (I'm in the UK). Would anybody recommend using a combined AGP/Tuner card like the ATI All in Wonder cards or using a USB Tuner?
I am thinking I will have to stick with XP because of driver support. I have dual boot to Vista at the moment but the wifi doesn't work.
Idea and Suggestions welcome
Danny

Thanks for the reply Stu.
I tried installing the XP wi-fi driver in Vista and I couldn't get it to work. I didn't try harder as the Mega 865 Pro is not supposed to be Vista compatible.
Is there a 3rd party driver I should try?
The reason I would like to upgrade the graphics is to have the option to play some games and I am beginning to find limitation with the on board graphics. I tried to check out second life on the mega the other week and it wouldn't set up because the graphics wasn't up to it.
I have tried installing a dedicated APG card before - the Gigabyte nVidia Geforce 6600 with heatpipe passive cooling.
It is a great card but I found every now and then the PC would crash with it running. It is a very tight fit with the TV tuner card and the airflow wasn't good.
So I am looking at using a small APG card or replacing the tuner. That’s why a combined card seemed to make sense and would free up the PCI slot.
As power is a problem for some graphics cards is upgrading the PSU an option?
Thanks
Danny

Powerbook 2400 and USB Card Support

I have a Powerbook 2400 with a PCMCIA slot. I also have a Belkin USB Adapter for the slot that works fine with a Powerbook G3. I also must run Mac OS 8.6 because of an old program I use everyday. The 2400 slot works with a modem card so I know it is not defective.
I downloaded Apple's USB Card Support 1.4.1, which allows the USB card support in pre 9.0 Macs. The notes say it will work with any PowerPC Mac. When I try to install it on the 2400, the window comes up saying this card suppot software is not supported on this machine. It works fine on the G3 running 8.6.
Is there any work around so that I can use this card in the 2400?
Thanks,

The dialogue box "...USB DDK..." went away with your instructions for including "usbx", BUT the 2400 froze on restart.
I removed the "usbx" version of the USB Support Extension and went back to the USB Support Extension without "usbx". I restarted and it came up without the dialogue box. (?????). No freezing. So the dialogue box problem was solved.
With the old (non "usbx" support extension) installed, I inserted my Belkin USB card. I then inserted the little Memorex USB in the left slot of the two slot card spaces and it didn't work. I inserted it into the right slot and the little light on the Memorex flashed and the icon came upon the desktop. Hurray!!!
Success!
I am a bit confused by all of this.
1. With Plan B, it took code inserted into the resource window, "usbx" (pardon me if I use the wrong terms here) to get rid of the dialogue box (DDK) which came up on all restarts.
2. That froze the 2400.
3. Replacing it with the original USB Support Extension (without "usbx") allowed the 2400 to restart without freezing or the dialogue box.
4. BUT my hardware Belkin card seems to mount USB drives on the right USB slot only.
Anyway it seems to be working, and you guys are phenomenal. My PC using husband is totally impressed by what you have been able to help me do. And I am reminded of how much fun it used to be to do this kind of stuff on my old Macs when we could still work with the extension folder.
Do you have any further analysis on this, otherwise I'll close it out as question answered? Bless you!

Where can I get a new replacement motherboard and graphics card for HP Tx2 touchsmart 1340ea? Cost?

my computer has been getting either blue screen of death, or your machine has been turned off to save your computer or pixels jumping around across screen, so on white screen was getting streaks of blue from top to bottom and on black streaks of red dancing about, OR no screen at all - blank.
Now machine won't even boot up. This all happened both on cable and wireless. Product no VJ667EA # TX2 Touchsmart 1340ea.
There have been no upgrades of hardware , and on software front only thing is regular updates of windows. It was running Windows 7 64 bit professional.
It is now totally dead. If you try to boot up you get the electric symbol light up, and caps lock and end /number lock light up and flash... thats it.
We just tried to blow out dust that is all. I have a nasty feeling HP doesn't want to sell any parts and only bothered about selling folks like me a new machine which I am not going to buy. This one didn't last more than 18 months, just long enough to be out of guarantee. Here's hoping I am wrong and there are replacement motherboards and graphics cards (it

You're very welcome.
What seems to be unfair is I can buy that motherboard directly from HP in the USA as you saw, but for whatever reason you can't buy it directly from HP in the UK.
I still think you would be better off checking out what related notebooks may be for sale out there on eBay UK.
I buy all my PC's on eBay in used condition for great bargains. I do limit myself to the business PC's and notebooks that HP makes, however.
Best of luck in whatever you decide to do.

Sun Ray, windows & and USB card readers

Hi all,
I read, or was told that the new version of the SR software (version 5) should enable more USB devices to work in combination with Sun Ray.
We currently serve our users with windows via SunRay - and it works very well. The only issue being that we need to get usb card readers - such as the acr38 to work with SunRay. Until now this has not worked. Does anyone know whether this is currently possible or whether this should be possible using SR 5?
thanks and regards,
Paul

Hi,
Do you provide terminal server desktop or a VDI based 'XP' desktop to your users ?
the next early access release (EA2) will support additional USB support; it seems only for VDI based 'xp' desktops; so that might solve your USB card reader request if you provide XP desktops.
The current PC/SC release does support some kind of second card reader attached to the sunray. Never looked indepth into this feature but i did see it read the card from the additional reader with the added debug tools.
Do you actually need this second card reader? Maybe you could use the PC/SC passthrough to windows to read the your card in the windows backend losing the second card reader.
if all else fails you could try a network USB hub. This device is attached to the network and your reader is attached to the device. Then you use a client on the windows environment to connect to the device; hence connect to your USB reader. The client on the windows environment that works with the device i've tested was only able to run just once on a terminal server.. so this is not a very scaleable solution if you run terminal server.
regards,
Patrick

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.
