Upgrade video card for Late 2005 PowerMac G5

I am looking for an upgrade video card for a Late 2005 PowerMac G5, which has the PCI-Express slots. I need at least 256 MB of VRAM.
Since this computer is a discontinued model, there doesn't seem to be too many options for video cards. I've seen some cards like the NVidia 6600 or 6800, or even ATI's X800, but they appear to be difficult to find.
The one card that is readily available still is the ATI X1900, which looks great, but a little on the pricey side ($349).
I did notice the NVidia 7300 GT, which is more moderately priced ($145), but it only mentions being an upgrade card for the Mac Pro. Will this also work with the PowerMac G5 (Late 2005) model? I would hate to buy this video card and then find out that it won't work.

The only available upgrade card for the Late 2005 G5s is the X1900GT (aka G5 Edition). It's basically on par with the nVidia 7800GT that was available as a BTO option.
You can get the 7800GT and QuadroFX 4500 as replacement parts, but they're exorbitantly priced.
The Mac Pro cards won't work (even though they're also PCI-Express) due to the ROM on the card. It's only setup to work with the Mac Pro's EFI boot system and doesn't have the necessary code to work with the PowerMac's Open Firmware boot system.

Airport Extreme Card for my Apple Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.3) Late 2005 - M9591LL/A - PowerMac 11.2 - A1117

Hello there, I have an Apple Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core (2.3) Late 2005 - M9591LL/A - PowerMac 11.2 - A1117.
What Airport extreme & Bluetooth card I need? why the memory are so hard to find? can I use another faster DDR2 memory?
Sorry for to many question but I search on "Saint Google" and there is too much information not precise.
Tnxs a lot

You need an Airport Bluetooth module with the required runway card.
Here is the kit:

You can use a faster memory, but it will not run faster, will likely report wrong and may give other issues.

Installing 750 GB and 500GB in PowerMac G5 quad (late 2005)

Are there any operational issues with installing a 750 GB SATA HDD in the PM Quad G5 (Late 2005) ? Someone told me the max for my PM G5 is 500 GB!
I want to have a 500 GB in upper slot and the 750 GB in the lower slot.
Thanks....

At the time your Quad was produced, 500GB was the largest drive available. However, there is no limit on the size of the drive you can install.
The G5's built-in SATA controller doesn't support SATA II features, and so you may need to force the drive to operate in SATA I mode, usually with a jumper. The Quad's built-in SATA controller is reportedly more tolerant of SATA II features than the ones in earlier G5s, so everything should go smoothly. I have a WD Raptor hooked up to the internal SATA controller on my Quad as my boot drive and it has run flawlessly. This drive did not always work trouble free on older G5s with older SATA controllers.
For more information, I'd recommend checking out XLR8YourMac's Drive Database to see what other users are reporting.

I I have a late 2005 power PC G5 that I want to bring back to life. I need to replace the original hard drive, a Maxtor 250 GB Sata. Can I replace it with modern drives, SATA 5-6 etc?

I knew I should never get rid of my old G5's. By the way, there is a browser still supported for the PPC, TenFourFox, if you're not using it already. Go to the Floodgap website (they author it) download it for free. The only thing it doesn't support is the Flash plugin, but the browser works great. Other video types are supported. It's based on Firefox, and runs most of the plugins and add-ons. It's very fast, and beats all other browsers on the browser compatibility and speed test. That's now my default on my G5's. Firefox and Safari are no longer supported. As far as the OS, both Tiger and Leopard were solid for me. The reason, as I stated before, was iMovie. The version in Tiger with iLife was far superior to what Apple changed it to. They 'dumbed it down' for the masses. Even the newest iLife 11 on my Mac Pro quad isn't is good, in my opinion. So Leopard should be fine for you. It's a much larger browser in terms of sheer megabytes and disk space, but it's fine. As far as getting an OS disc, I'm seeing Tiger for about $45.00, Leopard for $50 - 60.00 on that famous auction site. As far as RAM, I have 8GB in my G5 2.3, but you should check Activity Monitor when you are running your apps. See how much green slice you have left (unused RAM). You might find you don't need eight. A Mac Pro will grab more free RAM than a PPC machine will. I have a hard time maxing out use of my 8 on the PPC. Not true with the eight on my Mac Pro. The OS doesn't hesitate to grab and use it. You might be OK with 6GB on your PPC. More will not make you faster, as long as you still have free RAM available. As far as backup on your resurrected machine: look for a firewire enabled backup if can. Use CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) and make a clone backup. Next time your PPC machine wipes out the hard drive, just take your Firewire drive and plug it into another PPC machine, and you can select it as your boot drive. You'll be back and running in five minutes. You can also take the physical drive out of your enclosure, and put it in your tower to replace the failed drive, and you'll be back to where you were in less than ten minutes, OS and all. The PowerMac has an 800 port, so you can do the 800 on the machine to an 800 port on your backup. A firewire 800 to 800 cable is only about $8.00. It runs nice and fast through the 800 port. I like the OWC Mercury Extreme enclosures. They use USB, Firewire 800, and eSATA, so all your options are open.

Which video card to get for my late 2005 Dual 2.0 G5

Sorry if this has been answered in others posts. I have been a bit confused on what card I should be getting for my G5.
I have a late 2005 model (last generation of the PPC) and it came with a 6600LE PCIe 128mb card.
I would like to get a better video card (256 or 512) but I don't want to break the bank. I read about the ATI x1900 but I wasn't sure what the differences were between the two versions. There seems to be an x1900 MAC edition and an x1900 XT. Can someone let me know which card I need and whether or not there are other choices that might be cheaper.
Thanks.

PowerMac G5 (early 2005) Airport Extreme.

I am new to Mac and I recently purchased an older PowerMac G5 (early 2005) to practice on, Dual 2.3 GHZ. I want to use an Airport Extreme Card to connect to my network wirelessly. Now I cannot find an antenna wire or antenna card. The case does not have an Airport antenna connector. I currently use a USB adapter for wireless access. Any ideas on what is needed to complete the wireless components so it works?

Does Mac still sell the power cables for the late 2005 version of these?

I recently purchased a PowerMac but the pervious owner did not have the power cable. I assumed it would be no problem and that I could take a power cord from one of my other Macs, but I now see that this late 2005 model has a different socket then most macs it is square with horizontaly running bars and looks like [--_--]. I want to know if Mac still makes replacements for these and if they sell them at the Mac stores.

Consequences of installing PC3200 ram in pmG5 late 2005?

I bought a used powermac G5 dual 2GHz (late 2005) with 1,5Go Ram:
2*256 APPLE DDR2 PC 4200
2*512 PQi DDR2 PC 3200 installed by previous owner.
G5's (late 2005) ram specs are PC4200 but the system seems ok with PC3200.
What are the consequences as it doesn't match apple's requirements?
Does it slow down ram/system performances?
Thanx

Hi-
Mac's have a strict specification regarding RAM. Especially the dual core G5. Anything outside of the specification will undoubtedly result in either unused frequency; i.e. faster rated RAM, or, cause system slowdowns; slower rated memory. Performance under load will be where the out of spec RAM will show it's lack of compliance.
In the end, all your valuable data is being handled by RAM that the machine was not designed to use. There will be consequences. Most likely, not good.

Power Mac G5 (late 2005) memory showing two different speeds

Alright, here's the situation. I have a late 2005, Dual 2,0Ghz, water cooled, model, G5 Power Mac tower. These have 8 memory slots, (1 upper bank of 4 slots and one lower bank of 4 slots located directly above and below each other on the motherboard). The two inside slots (the two slots that are closest together - one from each bank) are labeled slot 1. Then the next two slots (moving outward from the middle) are slots 2, then slots 3, then slots 4. Anyway,according to the Apple specs, the memory should be set up in matching pairs of like modules: i.e. slots one = 2 X 1GB sticks of matching PC4200, slots 2 = 2 matching sticks of PC4200, etc., etc, up to a total of 8 GBs of compatible memory.
I have 8 X 1GB sticks of "matching" Kingston PC4200 memory installed, and it even shows up on the "About This Mac" page as 8 GB. However, if you take this one step further and proceed to the "More Info" page, under the "Hardware" tab, the "memory" info it shows up as 4 sticks of DDR2-PC4200, and 4 sticks of DDR2-PC3200. Ironically, slots 0,1,2,3 indicate as PC-4200 (533Mhz), and slots 4,5,6, & 7 indicate as PC-3200 (400Mhz). Can anyone give me some insight as to why this would be happening? I've also re-arrainged the memory modules, but the memory speed discrepancy stays the same.
Any help would be appreciated!

It's likely no problem if everything is running fine, some SPIDIF chip anomoly I think.

I have a Late 2005 (Power PC) G5 running 10.5.7 that I purchased used from

Hi all,
I have a Late 2005 (Power PC) G5 running 10.5.7 (13 GB ram) that I purchased used from a company online that refurbishes and resells off-lease machines. It worked great until a few days ago when I came back to it frozen. It had a pixelated pattern over everything, and would not force quit, so I held the power button in to shut it down. Ever since, I still get the pixelated display, and it will not get past the startup screen. The progress indicator (under the apple) twirls for a bit, and then stops. Then nothing happens. Fans are quiet, I tried pulling out sticks of ram & swapping, hit the reset on the board, removed & replaced the battery & reset the pram. I can get the drive to come up remotely in target mode, repaired permissions and ran disk utility - says the disk is OK. Video card? Logic board? Something totally obvious that I am missing? I bought used because I am on a limited budget, and now, 6 months after my purchase, I have an expensive paperweight and had to go back to my trusty but slow dual 1ghz G4. This is really killing me personally, and productivity wise. Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Please let me know if there is any info I have not provided. Thanks in advance!!!

Can you boot the machine from the Leopard installer DVD without issue? If so then perhaps the OS just needs to be reinstalled. This is something you can do without erasing the drive:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
If you have the Apple Hardware Test disc for the computer, then you can boot from it and run the hardware diagnostics.

Late 2005 iBook G4 with kernal panic

Hi all,
I cannot find any instructions for replacing or checking the Airport card in my late 2005 iBook G4. I'm trying to follow Dr. Smoke's instructions but can't find any DIY manual or pics of the Airport card in this notebook. I've found several that show an Airport extreme card where I've got memory. I've also found several memory replacement instructions. I don't have an original colored iBook so those instructions did me no good. I have no PC Card slots so those instructions did me no good. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi
Since the introduction of the iBook (Mid 05) the Airport/Bluetooth card has not been a user installable item. It is located under the top shield to the left of the processor heat sink. This means removing the casing of the iBook, so if you want to get it checked out, I would strongly advise that you take it to your local AASP who will, I'm sure check it out for you.
If yours is a late '05 model, that kinda implies it's still in warranty, and if you attempt to take it apart yourself, you're going to void any warranty that you may have left.

Mac mini (late 2005) max size hdd?

1) I have a mac mini (late 2005), G4 1.5 GHz, 1GB RAM 80 GB PATA HDD--What is the largest size (GB) drive I can use in it, that it will recognize?
2) I would like to upgrade the OS to 10.5.8. I already have a copy of this. How well does 10.5.8. run on this type of machine? Will I see much slow down? Is it reliable, etc? I would like to clone to an external drive, update the external drive to 10.5.8 and boot from the external before doing anything with the internal drive. Is this possible? We need to run iTunes 10 (for an iPhone 3GS) & Time Machine (for obvious reasons.) Thank you, in advance

For that generation, you will probably get the largest notebook disk at 320 GB at the most; note that, due to floods in Thailand, price of hard disk has almost doubled (at least in Europe, do not know whether in U.S. too). Note that changing the disk for that mini is a small adventure. Anyway, take a notebook disk not thicker than 9.5 mm
1 GB RAM is maximum for that generation, so Tiger will run better than Leopard, but will run. With a new, larger disk, you may put both systems on two partitions, that is what I have with a 2004 PB, with a 120 GB internal disk.
P.S. If info is correct, what you may get is WD at 160, 250 and 320 GB. If you have never changed a mini disk, I would recommend to ask for technical help, it is no kidding.
