Quicksilver Dual 1GHz PCI Slot Usage

I just purchased this QS off eBay, and have developed the following configuration under OS X 10.3.9:
Slot 1 GeForce4 MX
Slot 2 ATTO ExpressPCIProUL3d with 50GB Seagate
Slot 3 Sonnet Tango FW/USB
Slot 4 M-Audio 2496
Slot 5 Sonnet ATA100 with a Maxtor 60GB attached
I'm running the OS and most applications off a Seagate pATA 120GB attached to the motherboard ATA channel. It is new and of the 7200.9 model.
Is this an optimal arrangement? or does it matter?
Heatwise, the 50GB drive is warmer (and thicker) than the others, so I put it into the middle floor bay. It is an SCA type and has an adapter on it, which makes it close when the door is closed ... close to the main set of powercables that are bundled together towards the middle, and plugged into the motherboard. Maybe too close?
The ATA cable to the Maxtor and the SCSI cable to the Seagate SCA are clothes-pinned separately to neaten the cabling.
Any comments?
One additional observation: My external power light has 2+ levels of brightness as I power up the QS ... is this normal? or am I taxing the power supply (or is this a sign of a weak power supply)?

Here are some responses (to date) for the power consumptions:
Slot 1 GeForce4 MX (no information available from Apple, nVidia or other sources)
Slot 2
Slot 3 ATTO ExpressPCIProUL3d with 50GB Seagate (4.35 Watts/5V (ATTOTech))
Slot 4 Sonnet Trio FW/USB/ATA133 with Maxtor 60GB attached (<= 15 Watts (SonnetTech))
Slot 5 M-Audio 2496 (no response from M-Audio)
Assuming a maximum of 15 watts per card gives a max of 75 watts for the PCI bus.<br>

  • Quicksilver dual 1GHz 2002 powers off for no reason.

    My Quicksilver dual 1GHz 2002 powers off for no reason. Could it be because of overheating? I can run it for an hour or 2 and then it simply powers off as if the electricity went off. No warning, no process. I can wait 30 min and power it up for maybe 10 min and the same thing. Does anyone know what may be causing this? There are some logic bd problems too. It will not shut down. I must hold the power button down until it goes off, and to start it up, I must unplug it f power then replug it into the wall to start it up. Yes it is time for a new one, but this one would be nice as a 2nd Mac.

    Hello! Look in apps>utilities>console and see if it's throwing a crash log that might narrow down the problem. It could be a weak power supply that's failing when it gets warmed up or a fan that has quit. Tom

  • Upgrading graphics card to run Motion2 on PowerMac G4 Quicksilver dual 1ghz

    Hi,
    I have just upgraded my FCP to Studio Universal 5.1. compressor and Motion won't work with my nVIDIA (0x10de) video card. In reviewing the recommended list of replacements, I am confused as to which one to buy. i am not sure which of the list will work with my G4 and allow me to run the new version of FCP. It's too late to turn back, my original disks were traded in to Apple.
    Any ideas on which card to buy and where to find one (USA)?

  • G4 quicksilver dual 1ghz: how many video cards can i install?

    i've kept this great old machine on the shelf, now i've found a use for it!  i've been programming video installations for theatre using isadora (on more modern machines) and would love to utilize my old G4.  currently installed is the stock card with a VGA and an ADC output, and i've run 2 monitors off it in the past.  i'd like to run my ADC powered 17" studio display (control screen) plus at least 2,3 or more video projectors, so i'd like to install an additional video card(s).  ideally VGA or DVI, but s-video or even component could work- it doesn't need to be high definition. can this machine handle it, and if so, recommendations for a good card, or multiple cards?  i have several open slots, how many is feasable to stack in there?
    thanks y'all!

    Remember that video cards use the most power of any PCI cards. There is usually a finite limit to how much power the computer's PCI bus can provide.
    I don't know the limimts on the QS, but the old Beige G3s has a limit of 45W total across three slots--I doubt it's a lot more on yours.  The assumption back then was that most PCI vidcards then drew 25W. Unlike newer cards that have power "taps" top allow direct connection to the power supply, older PCI vidcards seldom had this convenience. I have a radeon 9200 and it does not.
    The 9200 had a lot of VRAM but did not support Apple's Quartz Extreme video technology. Although great for 3D stuff, its 2D performance in OSX was dismal, with scrolling and dragging being choppy. You do not want that card as you primary video source on a computer with AGP graphics. There was a hack to get around the QE issue but it seldom worked without issue if you had more that one PCI card of any kind.

  • Recommend Panther or Tiger for QuickSilver Dual 1ghz?

    Hi, I'm faced with re-installing my OS, and would like a recommendation as to which OS to use. I'm currently using 10.3.9. Aside from the usually application compatibility issues, is 10.4 going to be to demanding on my old beast, or is it a good match?
    I really have no problems with 10.3.9, other than an undetermined issue that is forcing me to re-install. Also, I'll be using a fresh disc, and retaining my old setup during the transition.
    thx,
    brad

    I use to run Tiger on a 800MHz G3 iBook w/ 640MB RAM and it ran great. Your dual processor G4 will be fine.

  • Quicksilver Dual 1GHz won't power up with the monitor connected.

    My Quicksilver with 17" LCD Studio display won't start up. The power button blinks on, the fans make a turn or two and the red LED on the motherboard blinks once. If I hold the power button down it blinks once but the fans and red LED repeat once a second. After this began I started it up in FireWire target mode with the monitor disconnected and it worked fine for a few hours. Then it seemed to start up ok without the monitor attached but would immediately shut off when I connected the monitor. Now just the behavior I described at the beginning. I've reset the SMU (PMU??), zapped the PRAM. left it unplugged and taken out the battery. Nothing changes. This has all been in the past 24 hours after I shipped the CPU and monitor back to my home. What's next??
    Frank

    Thanks. I tried an old VGA monitor and The CPU started up without a problem. Then I examined the pins on the Studio Display. That was the problem. Since I pugged it in several times, both the male and female plugs were screwed up. I carefully moved the pins on the plug and the receptacle back into place and everything is great now. I’m sure it wont last through to many repluggings, though.

  • Dual 867mhz MDD G4 & Dual 1Ghz G4 Quicksilver: Near Perfect Installation

    I installed the family pack on both my desktop G4 towers (Dual 867mhz MDD G4 & Dual 1Ghz G4 Quicksilver) and had almost ZERO problems.
    I opted to upgrade my OS X 10.4.10 systems.
    Both installations (upgrades) were without a problem, except for one minor keychain glitch:
    MDD Dual 867mhz G4: After installation and restart, the keychain seemed to have forgotten my passwords for my POP email and my iChat (AIM) accounts. I simply cleared the keychain (as prompted) and re-entered the passwords (opted to save them) and all is well.
    Quicksilver Dual 1ghz G4: No keychain issue. Passwords were retained just fine.
    Every piece of email, settings, music, files, folders, apps, etc were all retained just fine on both computers.
    All my Adobe CS2 suite apps, MS Apps are just fine.....as does my Final Cut Pro software.
    The only software that "broke" was GOOGLE EARTH. I simply just downloaded the latest version and all is well again.
    Approx. Install time: 1hr.
    Note: If your computer stalls on a blue screen (my computers did this on TIGER install), let them go. More than likely it's "finishing" the installation and probably cataloging the hard drive for Spotlight.
    This Leopard OS Rocks! I can't wait til they fine tune it with a 10.5.1 update release

    I put Leopard on a Dual 800 and a Dual 400.
    Leopard pushes the limits of the 400. The 800 runs pretty well.
    I mean it is slower in some places, but I assume that will be fixed in updates.
    (for instance... my cursor is sticking to links in firefox and it kills my CPU usage)
    Everything else works great.

  • PCIe Slot Speeds - G5 Dual Core 2.0

    Hi Gang
    I've been in touch with FirmTek support about a possible conflict - irregularity with regard to a SeriTek/2ME4-E installed in slot number 3.
    They're claiming;
    "The PowerMac G5 Dual Core PCIe slots 2 and 3 share bandwidth. If you install a fast card in slot 3 and a slower FireWire/USB card in slot 2, the bandwidth of both slots is reduced to the speed of the slowest card. This improper configuration could easily cause the issues you are experiencing."
    Unless I'm missing something, according to this diagram, I believe slots 2 & 4 share the same bandwidth? Or it would appear that the MIDDLE PCIe slot is the faster of the two others - yes?
    http://www.locationstudio.net/PCIe%20Speeds%20G5%20Dual%20Core.jpg
    And here's what I have installed;
    http://www.locationstudio.net/Slot-3-PCLe.jpg
    I'm still leaning on replacing the SeriTek/2ME4-E with a Multi-Port FW800 card, since my other drives are all connected via FW800. Can't take the chance of having additional data corrupted or deleted.
    Thanx for your thoughts
    Mike

    Another consideration:
    The Firmtek controller can accommodate (max with no allowance for overhead) 384 MB/s bandwidth, but a FW800 controller can only accommodate max with no allowance for overhead) 98 MB/s.
    As well, with a bit of research on the HyperTransport link which connects the Mid Bridge to the North bridge, I found an interesting comment in a HyperTransport Technology Consortium document which suggests that I/O devices of high latencies (slow) can have a dramatically adverse effect on the overall performance of the bus
    A problem relative to...the presence in a system of a very slow I/O device that is the target of posted requests. This situation can cause other registers in the system to experience *large and unpredictable latencies*.
    This seems to support the, albeit poorly phrased, claim by Firmtek that the combination of the devices may be the source of the issue.
    This is interesting stuff (says the geek in me). More reading.......
    Further reading of this document continues to peak my interest and provide further support to the claim from the Firmtek rep:
    http://www.hypertransport.org/docs/twgdocs/HTC20031125-0035-0009.pdf
    A Ha! Firmtek specs stipulate that the card is PCIe 4x:

  • Logic on a dual 1ghz processor machine.

    I have a quicksilver dual 1ghz processor machine with 1.5gig ram. The minimum requirement for Logic is a single 1.25ghz processor. It would "seem" like a dual 1ghz processor board would trumph a single 1.25ghz processor. I went to the local Apple store and asked several "genious" and software reps if I could run logic on my machine and the best I could get was "ummmmmm, good question...."
    Does anyone know if I can run it? Apple doesn't - and if you buy the software and it doesn't work, you can't return it.

    I was using a G4 MDD 1 ghz dual when I first upgraded to LP8. it did work but it was much slower and problematic than LP7. I found a good deal on a G5 on ebay and I am very glad I went that way. You will get a warning message when you instal Logic Studio, but it will work

  • G4 Quicksilver Dual 1gig 2002 Not Booting Up

    Hello
    I have a Powermac G4 Quicksilver Dual 1ghz with 1.5 mb RAM running OSX 10.4.6. Problems started when a friend pulled the power cord out from the mains and realising it, immediately plugged it back to the mains whils computer was in sleep mode.
    Now the Mac begins to start up, the cog spins for a short while then just freezes. I tried resetting PMU after removing the battery and leaving for 1 day, still no joy. However this Mac will boot up okay if I hold SHIFT key down.
    Also it will boot up okay if the main door is fully open or almost shut with about 1cm remaining open. I have done the following:
    1. Removed all the RAM memory except 1 original stick of 512mb.
    2. Exchanged memory.
    3. Re installed OSX software etc.
    4. Ran TechTool Pro v4.1.1 diagnostics
    5. Ran Disk Utility, repaired permissions etc.
    6. Checked all power cables if they fit okay.
    7. Checked Graphics card connections.
    8. Checked IDE cable connections.
    9. Rest PMU again.
    10. Checked for any loose screw or cables internally.
    11. Tried different power leads from mains.
    12. Scratched my head.
    I have been told there may be some sort of possible grounding issue with the metal of the door touching metal of the chasis/ casing, anyone able to shed light on this will be greatly appreciated. I posted this question onto someone elses thread not being aware, sorry I am new to this discussion.

    Thanks Rodney, Gary and everyone else who pointed me to investigate possible solutions to my Mac G4 Quicksilver/Dual 1gig which refused to boot up when the door was closed but booted okay when the side door was open.
    Well I checked the microswitch on the top rear of the side door and cleaned contacts with Caig Deoxit with cotton buds etc, unplugged all connections and replugged them etc but still no joy.
    Finally I found and used an Apple Hardware Test disk, opened the side door and booted up from it then closed the side door and started the tests (normally the Mac used to freeze when I closed the door but not this time). Well the test revealed the Airport Card to be faulty so I removed it and all appears to be okay so far.
    I cannot understand why the Airport Card works okay and the Mac booted up okay from both hard drives with the side door open, this remains a mystery to me and I hope to discovere the answer one day. This is such a good forum and I appreciate everyone's input. I will try to get a more upto date Apple Hardware Test disk as mine is 1.2.1 a bit old now.

  • Correct SDRAM, and what is the ram ceiling in a Dual 1Ghz Quicksilver?

    Hello all,
    Thanks for helping me with my optical drive question earlier. I now would like to ask about ram. At present my G4 1GHz is running OSX Tiger on 256Mb ram. Things run ok, but they could definitely be better.
    My G4 is one of the older Quicksilver models and uses SDRAM as opposed to DDR. Specifically it requires:
    SDRAM, PC133 • CL=3 • Unbuffered • Non-parity • 133MHz
    At first I thought I could simply transfer the larger ram sticks from my old G4 400MHz sawtooth, but the Quicksilver is very picky and doesn’t like any of them. I thought it would be backwards compatible and just slow everything down to the slowest speed memory stick (PC100 in this case), but no... it just didn’t like them full stop! (on a side note, I’ve checked and all 3 memory slots on the Quicksilver work fine, nothing defective there).
    Once again working on a shoestring I would like to ram up that memory to 1Gb or 1.5Gb as I have a disc for Leopard and I would like to upgrade to that sometime soon.
    So, looking on eBuyer I can see what’s described as ‘Generic’ 512MB PC133 168pin Extra Value SDRAM for £11.99 which I see as great value (here's the link). The only thing I cannot tell is if its the CL=3 variety. This means two questions:
    1) Is 1.5Gb the max ram limit for a January 2002 G4 Dual 1Ghz Quicksilver, or is that simply Apple’s ram ceiling at the time? Have people put in say, 2.5Gb on these machines?
    2) Is ‘generic’ ram a complete no-no for these machines? I really can’t see why not, but I’m not that knowledgeable either.
    Many thanks for your help.
    Message was edited by: One Brain Cell

    The QS didn't like PC100 because it has a 133mhz system bus. You can use PC133 in a machine with a 100mhz bus, but not conversely.
    The max RAM is still three 512MB modules for a total of 1.5GB. That model isn;t one that can exceed the original specs.
    2) Is ‘generic’ ram a complete no-no for these machines?
    Unless identified as suitable for Mac, most of the generic stuff turns out to be for PC. The site you linked does not provide enough support info, and Googling the "manufacturer's part number" doesn't lead to a manufacturer site, just a bunch of circular references back to the seller's site. Suspicious
    You should probably call the seller and ask for someone who knows Mac RAM. In addition to being unbuffered and non-parity, it needs to be low-density.
    With such a paucity of key Mac metrics, that listing makes be very nervous. I know RAm is expensive in teh UK based on a lot of psots all over Apple Discussions, but you have to find someone who knows Mac RAM.
    There is a great free tool for checking whether any Mac can handle more RAM than the original specs showed. It's the MacTracker database and is here:
    http://www.mactracker.ca
    I couldn't work these forums without it. It shows all the facts and specs of the machine, and always indicates if the original RAM specs can be exceed. For example, for the USB 2.0 eMacs, its Memory entry is:
    2.0 GB (Actual) 1.0 GB (Apple)
    Very handy.

  • PCI Graphics in Quicksilver Dual 1 Ghz?

    I recently was given a dual 1 ghz Quicksilver. The previous owner suspects logic board problems but before I give up I'd like to try a different video card, perhaps in a PCI slot instead of the AGP where the current card is. Anyone know if this is OK to do? Perhaps with the ATI Radeon 9200 PCI Edition? Any other cards you suggest? Thanks for any info!

    I am troubleshooting a G4 AGP Sawtooth machine, and I did just what you are asking about. I pulled the AGP graphics card and installed a PCI graphics card. It works fine on this particular machine; I would guess it would work with yours also. Good luck!

  • Quicksilver G4 Dual 1ghz power supply...

    I'm pretty sure that the power supply in my Quicksilver G4 Dual 1ghz is going. Initially, I was only getting the familiar bong for startup, but nothing else. I then noted that the fan on the GForce Ti card wasn't spinning, nor the fan on the optical drive. I removed the Ti card, my second hard drive, and two RAM chips; the computer started, then shut down. I pushed the power button, it finally started. The fan on the optical drive is still not spinning (still plugged in though.)
    I did buy a new motherboard battery, put it in, and followed the process of resetting the CUDA/PMU. I did that before doing the above so I know the battery is fine.
    That's why I'm almost sure it's the power supply.
    So, my question is, where and how do I go about purchasing a new power supply for this computer? Any help and/or suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Some of the symptoms might desribe a logic boarrd, cpu or Power Supply issue. This article might assist:
    http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.asp?p=420908&seqNum=4&rl=1
    If you are extermly confident with a multi meter you might try the following procedure. However, be sure to use appropriate ESD procedures as "static" can kill your machine and be sure to take care as electircal power can kill you.
    PS verfication:
    1. Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver/QuickSilver 2002) (see Figure 3): Connect the black lead of the volt meter to pin 11 of the 22pin power supply connector. Connect the red lead of the volt meter to pin 22 of the power supply connector. The volt meter should measure approximately +25V. If you do not get a reading of +25V, re-check the volt meter connections and measure the voltage again. If voltage is still not present, replace the power supply; otherwise, go to the next step. If you do measure +25V on pin 22, the power supply is likely OK. Go to the next step for further verification.
    Start up the computer by pressing the power button on the front of the computer. Note: Verify that the power cable is plugged into connector J30. If the computer starts up normally, the power supply is OK. If the computer does not start up, go to the next step.
    2. Check to see if the power supply fan is spinning. If it is not, go to the next step.
    3. Connect the black lead of the volt meter to pin 16 of the power supply connector for AGP and PCI models or pin 11 for Gigabit Ethernet/Digital Audio/QuickSilver/QuickSilver 2002 models. Connect the red lead of the volt meter to pin 1 of the power supply connector. The volt meter should measure approximately +3.3V.
    If you do not get a reading of +3.3V, re-check the volt meter connections and measure the voltage again. If voltage is still not present, replace the power supply; otherwise, go to the next step.
    4. Connect the black lead of the volt meter to pin 16 of the power supply connector for AGP and PCI models or pin 11 for Gigabit Ethernet/DIgital Audio/QuickSilver/QuickSilver 2002 models. Connect the red lead of the volt meter to pin 4 of the power supply connector. The volt meter should measure approximately +5V. If you do not get a reading of +5V, re-check the volt meter connections and measure the voltage again. If voltage is still not present, replace the power supply; otherwise, go to the next step.
    5. Measure the voltage of pin 10 on the power supply connector. The voltage should measure approximately +12V. If you do not get a reading of +12V, re-check the volt meter connections and measure the voltage again. If voltage is still not present, replace the power supply; otherwise, go to the next step.
    6.The testing is complete. You have just verified that the power supply is not the cause of the “No apparent power” symptom.

  • G4 QUICKSILVER 733MHZ TO DUAL-1GHZ

    #1 Will the QS dual 1-ghz card work in a 733mhz quicksilver server model with no change to the system board? can i just put the dual 1ghz in the 733mhz QS?
    #2 Will the 64mb video-card from the QS Dual 1ghz work in the 733QS with a 32mb video-card now? and can i just put it in and will it work with no new drivers or jumpers?
    #3 will all of that overload the QS 733mhz psu? i just found a 733QS server for $95 i think i over paid for it but i con not find a psu for the dual 1-ghz so i bought a qs 733mhz because i did not know if it was the psu or system board i know i can put the psu in the qs 733mhz in the dual 1-ghz but i do not know if the system board blow the psu? and i do not have any more $ for computers or parts. or wood it be better off just to leave the 733mhz qs alone? i do want to run leopard and ilife '09 on it but if something goes bad i will not have any qs so i can live with just leopard or tirger if i can use LeopardAssis app does it work in a qs? but i wood like to use the dual-1ghz in the qs 733 so i can use ilife'09 and not have to use a 3-party app to install leopard.
    #4 i have a old post but i needed a new topic so i made a new post so it is easyer https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3071835
    By-The-Way thank you japamac for all your help

    Well i put the dual 1ghz in the 733 qs. and it blown the psu  i guess the cpu is bad i just put out anouther $50+ for a new psu but when i put the 733mhz qs cpu back in i forgot to put the fan and the heat sink back on the cpu still works i puled the plug very quick. but the thermal paste is now gone on it i will get new thermal paste for it. do i just put the thermal paste ontop of the cpu top or on the heat sink? but the video card works very good from the dual 1ghz in the 733mhz qs

    processor for those models, follow these steps:
    1. Open the computer and check the fabrication number that is printed on the logic
    board. The fabrication number is easily visible at the edge of the board near PCI card
    slot 5.
    2. If the logic board fabrication number is 820-1308, 820-1440, or 820-1445, do
    not
    order the processor module. Instead, you must replace both the logic board and the
    processor by ordering the combined module: Module Set, Logic and Processor (Apple
    part number 661-3654).
    Replacement Warning:
    When ordering this combined module set, a returned logic
    board must match one of the three fabrication numbers (820-1308, 820-1440, or 820-
    1445). If the logic board does not match one of these fabrication numbers, it will be
    rejected.
    3. If the logic board fabrication number is any other number (
    not
    820-1308, 820-1440, or
    820-1445), order only the multiprocessor module (Apple part number 661-2730).

    I was wondering what the difference is between connecting to 1935 and 80.  Does one port have an advantage over the other? I know by default 1935 is blocked and it appears to be the perferred port to use, but does port 80 HTTP slow down the stream?
