Will a Radeon 9600XT from a G5 DP 2.5GHz fit in a G4 450MHz 3,1

Dear All,
I know this is rather a legacy question what with us being on the brink of Snow Leopard and Power PC being put out to pasture but I've managed to salvage an unloved G4 from the Office dead pile and get it running again.
Here's the specs:
Model Name: Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
Model Identifier: PowerMac3,1
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (2.7)
Processor Speed: 450 MHz
Number Of CPUs: 1
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 1.12 GB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
It says G4 3,1 which I'm assuming is the Sawtooth AGP G4. It's still got the stock Rage 128 which is a bit weak for 10.5 so I was wondering whether a stock Radeon 9600XT from a G5 would fit in my old G4? The card is going spare but I don't want to break it because if it doesn't fit it will be sold off.
So I was wondering if any of my learned peers here could tell me a) whether it will work and b) will it damage the card if I try it?
Many thanks for your help with this,
Sam

Hi-
So I was wondering if any of my learned peers here could tell me a) whether it will work
No.
The Sawtooth is 2x AGP graphics, and requires a 2x AGP compatible card.
The 9600XT is an 8x AGP card, but may be modified for 4x AGP.
2x AGP is impossible with that card.
Get a PC Radeon 9800 Pro, flash it, or, buy a pre-flashed one on eBay. Or, get a real Mac Edition for $200+........
That's the fastest card the Sawtooth can use. It also is one of only 2 which supports Core Image, which you want for OS X.
BTW, the other card is a flashed Geforce 6200.

  • Will the Radeon X1900 from a Mac Pro work in the DualDual Core G5 PowerMac?

    Just wondering because I'm trying to figure out whether to get a refurbished PCI-X dual 2.7 GHz G5 or a PCI-e quad G5. The job I'm to use it for DEMANDS using an ATI GPU because that's the only GPU that I can fine-tune manually in Mac OS X using OEM drivers.

    That's correct. The software we use demands that the CPU be of an RISC architecture, and x86 as you know is CISC and so will not work. Meanwhile, I have an old ADC-based 23" Cinema Display and have gotten my hands on a re-manufactured dual 2.7 GHz G5 with an X850. My desk is transparent so I have the 30" display mounted on an arm anchored to the wall to float an inch above the surface of the desk while I have my 23" cinema display just below the transparent desk so that's how I've got my dual screen setup arranged. It works like a charm and is unique and effective.

    will amd radeon 6850 work with adobe cloud?

    Hi Sanbidai,
    I haven't heard of any specific incompatibilities with that card. I'd recommend installing the latest video driver from the manufacturer and testing whatever products you intend to use as a trial before you join, just to be positive.

  • My iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. HELP!

    My 4th generation iPod Touch will no longer charge from a wall socket, only my computer. I tried buying a new cable and USB charging socket (and I bought one made by Apple), but that did not fix the problem. I restored it from iTunes, hoping that would work as well, but that failed. I am at my wit's end. Can anybody here help me? I've bought new equipment, tried rebooting, restoring, etc. but nothing so far has proven successful. If anyone's got a solution, please help!
    Thanks!

    All I can suggest is the standared fixes. It seems very strange
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Bring the cable and Apple wall charger too.

  • Item will not transfer to/ from external drive "in use" error.

    I have searched the boards and found a handful of suggestions that I have tried with very limited success. My assumption is that is is a drive issue rather than a mac issue (Enlighten me if I am not posting in the right place!)
    I'd like to be able to avoid deleting the files and reformatting as I'd have a very tough time reloading the information seeing that I can't copy directly from that disk and the backup is in a different physical location (about 3 time zones away). Please let me know if there is something that can be done to find what the "hang up" is on this disk and pinpoint the error rather than having to start from scratch. Here is a more detailed background:
    Computer - Mac Mini running 10.6.8 (I have tried on two separate machines of the same model and OS as well as on a Mac Pro also running 10.6.8 with the same results)
    What I am trying to do: Copy several folders woth of .mov and .avi files of varying size (files are up to about 9GB but most are around 100MB) over firewire 800 from a 1TB LaCie Rugged to a 4TB G-Raid. (I have tried copying whole folders as well as individual files).
    The Issue: In the middle of a large transfer of multiple files nested in a folder I got an error message saying that the file could not be copied because it was "in use." I tried again and got the error again, I then tried moving individual folders and started getting the error even earlier in the transfer.
    What I have tried: Restarted, tried on multiple systems, and verified and repaired the questionable disk (even though no errors were being reported).
    I then remembered a time when I had a similar issue that turned out to be a Quicklook Bug so I terminated Quicklookhelper in my processes and restarted (no luck) I changed my view settings in Finder to not have a preview (no luck).
    I took the advice of another board and trashed com.apple.QuickLookDaemon and com.apple.QuickLookDaemon.plist and restarted (no luck).
    I then tried verifying the disk again and it did come up with an error though it claimed to successfully repair it. (I will post the report from disk utility at the end for anyone that thinks it might be helpful)
    At this point I was able to transfer one file of 4+GB to the other disk. Then when I went to go to the next file I started getting the same error. I went throught the above "trash and repair" process that worked before but saw no results this time.
    I also noticed that I could not "trash"com.apple.QuickLookDaemon and com.apple.QuickLookDaemon.plist while the faulty drive was mounted as it was coming up as "in use" as well.
    Any suggestions? I'd love you forever.

    Console isn't reporting anything other than "aborted" whenever it fails to transfer.
    For a minute the drive seemed to fail entirely, but then is able to be repaied in disk Utility (after 2 tries).
    It also ocassionally won't unmount because the drive too is "in use" (despite the fact that this would be impossible as no other programs are running after I restart.
    I got 2 small files to transfer in Safe Mode, but then I was back to the same errors.
    Time Machine isn't running and I added the drive to the Privacy Pane. So far I'm still having a hang up with this thing.
    All good suggestions though. I appreciate it.
    I wonder what the process is that is holding it up!?! Is the "node" error I keep seeing some sort of clue? I can't find much about it.

  • HT3842 Does iTunes store the original music file and copy it into a separate folder? If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library?

    Hi, on my last PC when transferring music to my new MacBook Pro i noticed i had about 6 duplicated of each song in every album i took hours in removing them.
    I Just wondered Does iTunes store the original music file and then copy it into a separate folder?
    If i delete the original file from finder will it remove it from my iTunes library or vice versa. I didnt want to lose any music like i have some how managed to on my old computer.
    Or should i keep both files of it in the Music folder and also iTunes library folder?
    Which is best ?

    It does both at the same time.
    When you add files to iTunes, it copies them into /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/ folder. The original file remains where it was.
    You can drag a file to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.
    This will add to iTunes and move it to /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/.
    I keep a shortcut of this folder on my desktop then simply drag files to the shortcut to add to iTunes.
    Then there are no "extra" files around.

    If they are both using the same iCloud ID (assuming you are running your mail from iCloud), then yes, the email will disappear from your Mac after you delete it from your phone and after your phone sycs with iCloud and your Mac syncs with iCloud.
    I use a windows phone, but it works the same.

  • If I delete photos from my camera roll will I lose them from the cloud as well?

    If I delete photos from my camera roll will they be deleted from my cloud as well?

    No, photos in photo stream are not effected by deleting photos from your camera roll.  However, while photo stream photos are not deleted from your phone after they are in your photo stream album, photos older than 30 days are deleted from photo stream.  These means if you ever turn photo stream off, or connect a new device to photo stream, only photos added in the last 30 days will be available to download.  To keep them permanently, import your camera roll photos to your computer before deleting them (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.

    HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print docs from computer, but will print a test page.  I continually get a message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.   Not only will it not print docs, it will not print web pages using IE 11 or Google Chrome.
    I've used Print and Scan Doctor, it always reports there are no issues and prints a test page even though I can't print anything else. 
    Each time I want to print, I must reboot the computer.  After reboot I have one chance to print.   This problem started February 15, 2015.  
    My operating system is Windows 8.1.   I have unintalled the HP software, rebooted, then reinstalled the software:
    OJ8500_A910_1315-1.exe
    HP Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
    HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0049.msi
    All versions were last downloaded on April 4, 2015.
    I have a home wireless network (Ubee DDW366 router).  All other devices in the house will print to the 8500A printer without issues:  2 Toshiba laptops, 2 Android phones, and 1FireHD.
    The desk top is installed with a Netgear Network card I don't know the model, but I had it tested by a PC Tech to confirm that the card is working.   The card and Windows 8.1 were installed on January 3, 2015.
    I have run virus scans and malware scans.  Each time they show there are no issues with my desktop.  What kind of desktop? Specifically made to my specs from store parts. . . no brand name computer.  ASUS Motherboard P6X580 Premium.  Now I will probably get hacked!
    I am at my wits end.  And it is frustrating when I need to make a print of something and the system locks up.  I often resort to screen printing to a word document to save in order to reboot. . . .but then I lose all sorts of capabilites when I salvage what I needed.  Also this is a time consumer.
    This printer has served us well for two years and I have expensive cartridges waiting; another two rounds of refills.
    Help?
    Addendum:  I can scan using HP Printer Assistance.  I open the HP Printer assistant, it "retrieves" info from the printer, then I select "scan a document or photo" and the printer responds.   I have no trouble with scanning.

  • If I erase my phone will it erase everything from my computer as well?

    iTunes and my iPhone 4 are having a really annoying disagreement. There are things on my phone that I no longer want on my phone (music, photos, aps, etc.) but every time I delete them off of my phone (through iTunes or through the phone itself) when I plug my phone back in and hit sync it all reappears on the phone and it's taking up too much space.
    I want to hit the Erase iPhone button and delete everything and start from scratch but I don't want to lose my contacts.
    My contacts are saved in the address book of my macbook - when I hit erase on my phone, will it delete it off my laptop as well?
    I've reached my wits end with this contraption. Someone help me. 

    Generally, you should back up your computer before you install any new apps or when you have something you do not want to lose.
    If it has been one year (or 6 months or 3 months) since you last backup, anything since your last backup will not be able to get recovered if you need to.
    Does that mean all my contacts would be gone? As far as I can tell they're being saved through iCloud
    If you are syncing contacts and calendars with iCloud, deleting on the computer or the iPhone will not remove then from iCloud.

  • How can I tell whether or not a photo I delete from iPhone will also be deleted from iPhoto on my Mac?

    I would like to download the new iOS, however when I go to do that, a message tells me that I cannot because I need 4.6 GB of storage in order to install it. I only currently have 864 MB of storage available on my 16 GB iPhone 5s.
    The storage problem would be fairly easy to solve through deleting photos and/or videos, as the Photos & Camera app shows a current usage of 5.7 GB. I am perfectly comfortable deleting photos off my iPhone if I know that they will remain in iPhoto on my Mac. However, when I select photos to delete, the phone warns me that the photo(s) will also be deleted from Photo Stream on all my devices. I tested this with some photos I didn't care about (whether or not they got permanently deleted from all devices), and it is perplexing, because even though the iPhone warned me that the photos would be deleted on other devices, they have not deleted out of iPhoto on my Mac. I even Quit iPhoto and re-started it, but the photos are still there. Why would the iPhone claim that the photos would be deleted from other devices, but yet clearly the photos are not being deleted from my other device? This leaves me confused and unsure.
    Meanwhile, if I select a bunch of photos then click Delete, the phone warns me that SOME photos will also be deleted from Photo Stream on all my devices.
    I am very annoyed by the ambiguity of the word "some," and not being able to know for sure whether or not photos I delete off my iPhone will still remain in iPhoto on my Mac.
    I would just like a really clear answer if possible: currently all my iPhone photos are showing up in iPhoto on my Mac. If I delete photos off of my iPhone, will they or won't they be deleted from iPhoto on my Mac?
    Thanks if anybody can help.

    If the Photos have been moved into the Library (Events, Photos, Faces, Places) in iPhoto on your Mac (either because you did it manually or as a result of iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > Automatic Import being on) then nothing you do on the phone will delete them from iPhoto on your Mac.
    If the Photos are ONLY in the Shared - iCloud section of iPhoto then you risk losing them as deleting them from Photo Stream will delete them from there.
