What specific type of RAM does the Power Mac 8600/200 take?

What specific type of RAM (Memory) does the Power Macintosh 8600/200 take? If known, where could I get a hard drive for that Power Mac? eBay???? Any help would be gladly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Sean Butler

Sean,
Craig refered to MacGurus. Here is their website:

You will find valuable information there.
Just a word of caution. If you have G3 memory chips and chips for the 8600/9600 etc. side by side, they will look almost identical but the registration notch is 1/16 of an inch off. Do not force one into the other machine. The real easy way to distinquish the 8600 memory chip is the two odd silicon chips in the middle that are not the same as the other standard RAM chips lined up on either side. They are parity checking chips, if my memory serves me correctly. The G3 memory modules will have identical chips all the way accross.
Be sure and follow the other links like:

for a complete run down on EDO chips.

This page shows the G3, PC 100 compliant RAM chip:

The chips for the 8600 will have more space in the middle and will have two non-conforming or mismatched chips in the center.

  • What motherboard form factor does the power mac g5 use?

    I have an old power mac g5 case which I'd like to re purpose into my new editing pc, and I am wondering if it uses a proprietary form factor motherboard, or a standard form factor motherboard like atx, micro atx, or mini itx to know if I'd have to do some case modding or not, thanks for all replies, and I know I will need to mod the cables within the case like the power button, so no need to make note of that!  Also, I know it would take less effort just to get another case, but I'd like to work on this case.

    I'm possibly wrong here but I suspect opening a brand new MBP to add parts yourself will void the warranty.  It is probably in the small print.  I certainly would not risk it for an expensive Apple product.
    Some (Windows) laptops have easy access to memory and disk slots that do not necessitate taking the complete back cover off.  However, Apple does not make life easy for you.
    However, if you are going for a 'used' machine it is probably worth a try.
    Not possibly, definitely wrong, Ram and Hard Drive are considered user replaceable and will not void the warranty if changed.

  • How much ram does the iPhone 6 Plus have?

    How much ram does the iPhone 6 Plus have?

    This is what I got on the info....
    IPhone’s RAM has been very little, even pitiful compared to other flagships. Now 1GB RAM is still the standard configuration for the current iPhone 5 / 5s and iPhone 6.
    Is Apple’s system optimization can really never need to increase the memory capacity? Obviously the answer is no. Recently, GSMArena published a sheet of iPhone 6 Plus detailed specifications, we can clearly see the “2GB RAM” in the memory list.
    GSMArena also posted the benchmark score for iPhone 6 yesterday, but we seen that A8 GPU not seem to improve a lot in the processing capability compared to A7 – only increased 4.65%.
    Apple usually not declare the detailed hardware parameters of their products, because those indicators not have too many advantages compared to other similar products, and even looks a bit shabby. But for Apple, these are not the most important, the company always focusing on the overall performance and user experience of the product. iPhone 6 Plus is the largest ever. Apple has said the iPhone 6 Plus screen reached 1080P in the event, as a larger screen means more resource consumption, and the processor needs to handle higher pixel image, so increasing RAM is the best choice to enhance stability and performance.
    So based on the above evidence and our speculate, iPhone 6 is indeed possible with 2GB RAM. If in doubt, all we could wait is finding out the truth after dismantling the device. Course this just may be a beginning, we also expect Apple can give more memory for the upcoming next-generation iPad and iPad Mini.

  • Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running google maps app on the phone. Siri cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Thanks.

    Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running Google Maps app on the phone. SIRI cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Also can anyone tell me the hierarchy of use between the Apple Maps, SIRI, and Google maps when the app is on the phone? How do you choose one over the other as the default map usage? Or better still how do you suppress SIRI from using the Apple maps app when requesting a "go to"?
    I have placed an address location into the CONTACTS list and when I ask SIRI to "take me there" it found a TOTALLY different location in the metro area with the same street name. I have included the address, the quadrant, (NE) and the ZIP code into the CONTACTS list. As it turns out, no amount of canceling the trip or relocating the address in the CONTACTS list line would prevent SIRI from taking me to this bogus location. FINALLY I typed in Northeast for NE in the CONTACTS list (NE being the accepted method of defining the USPS location quadrant) , canceled the current map route and it finally found the correct address. This problem would normally not demand such a response from me to have it fixed but the address is one of a hospital in the center of town and this hospital HAS a branch location in a similar part of town (NOT the original address SIRI was trying to take me to). This screw up could be dangerous if not catastrophic to someone who was looking for a hospital location fast and did not know of these two similar locations. After all the whole POINT of directions is not just whimsical pasttime or convenience. In a pinch people need to rely on this function. OR, are my expectations set too high? 
    How does the iPhone select between one app or the other (Apple Maps or Gppgle Maps) as it relates to SIRI finding and showing a map route?  
    Why does SIRI return an address that is NOT the correct address nor is the returned location in the requested ZIP code?
    Is there a known bug in the CONTACTS list that demands the USPS quadrant ID be spelled out, as opposed to abreviated, to permit SIRI to do its routing?
    Thanks for any clarification on these matters.

    siri will only use apple maps, this cannot be changed. you could try google voice in the google app.

  • My Itunes library is messed up. Wong titles. Wrong albums. Wrong everything. EX. I play a song by avenged sevenfold but then it plays a song by eminem. Song titles dont match what they play and neither does the artists name

    My Itunes library is messed up. Wong titles. Wrong albums. Wrong everything. EX. I play a song by avenged sevenfold but then it plays a song by eminem. Song titles dont match what they play and neither does the artists name. Can I restart everything from itunes? I know this sounds cunfunsing, (and it is) but yeah.
    Once again to try and clarify, The song(which itunes says is by artist,band,person, etc) is mixed up with another song out of my libary.
    If there's something you dont get ask me!!! thanks

    I'm experiencing the same issue. Not only do I get a messed up library, but since I've let iTunes handle my music files, they too have been shuffled around - placed in different album folders and sometimes given names of other songs... With quite a large library, the cleanup makes me feel a bit like Sisyfos pushing the rock uphill - it's a never ending story. Only positive side of this is that I get to play a lot of music quizzes while guessing who plays the song that is disguised as eg. Buddy from De La Soul, and then afterwards try to track down the real 'Buddy' as this has also found another folder to hide in...
    Shazam has come to the rescue a few times so far...
    @Apple: this is just not good enough!

  • Does the power-on password fully protect user data?

    Hi,
    I am a T61 user.
    First question
    Does the power-on password fully protect user data, or could someone just boot from the optical drive or another source?
    Second question
    If I were to use full disc encryption, could I easily unecrypt it in the future?
    Thanks in advance!

    As mostly with everything in life, there are pros and cons related to all sort of data protection schemes. At least in therory, everything that can be encripted may also be decripted in some way, be it via reverse engineering or some other technique. - But of course some sort of protection is always better than no protection at all, especially if you deal with lets say sensible data.
    The power-on password is not a full data protection at all, to get an idea of the different password protection schemes  take a look at the following short descriptions here...
    --> http://www.tech-faq.com/ibm-thinkpad-bios-password.shtml
    ...there are some ways to reset a power-on password and informations how to do so can be found on the net. Further it doesn't help much if somebody takes out the whole harddrive of your Thinkpad.
    Performing a full HDD encription, via an embedded ATM hardware chip inside the Thinkpad, or even using some OS related encription mechanism would be more secure for sensible data, as long as you don't get hardware or software trouble with those parts, which are responsible for the build-in encription/decription scheme. So it's always also a good idea to also perform additional periodically backups of your sensible data, so if some worst case scenario might appear, that you are still be able to restore your valuable data.
    Hope this gives you at least a little idea about the pros and cons of both of these security schemes.

  • What monitors will work with the Power Mac G5?

    If I got a new Power Mac, would I need to get a new monitor (Apple Display), too? I have a Dell 17" LCD monitor (VGA). Would this work with the Power Mac?

    Yes. You'll need to use the included DVI to VGA adapter to connect the monitor.

  • Why does my Power MAC G4 keep restarting itself after I shut it down?

    Hi,
    Thanks for reading this.
    Why does my Power MAC G4 keep restarting itself after I shut it down?
    This JUST started happening only 4 days ago.
    Most recent installation was Limewire, but I removed it to see if this problem would go away.
    I have 3 internal drives (See drive types below) that all have OS 10 on them in order to be able to boot up from either drive in the event of trouble.
    However...
    No matter WHICH drive I use as the start up drive... the computer STILL restarts itself after it is properly commanded to shut down.
    Prior to the Limewire install... the ADOBE creative suite was installed.
    There is a Lexmark X83 printer hooked to the computer, which, it seems doesn't matter if it is left on or off... the computer still restarts itself.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi, Tommy!
    If you still have problems, trash the following three preference files, then shut down and do a PMU reset. (PMU reset procedure for the QS is the same as is shown at the link for the Gigabit Ethernet.)

  • I had to replace my hard drive twice in my power mac g5. Luckily, I had the foresight to install a backup drive the second time around. Has anybody had HD problems? Is it the Power Mac or I just lucked out on some bad drives.

    There are many well known G5 problems, but being hard on Hard Drives is not one of them.

  • Can I Run 333Mhz ram in a power mac g5 that uses 400mhz?

    Can I Run 333Mhz ram in a power mac g5 that uses 400mhz?

    No; RAM which can't keep up with the computer's bus will be ignored. Faster RAM will work as long as it's able to operate at the speed the bus requires.
    In any case, ensure that the vendor advertises compatibility with your Mac model.
