i am setting up a G4 in my room. loading os x 10.2 on it. just copied final cut express too... now to figure out how to use everything https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

thats an apple right?

yah

Well, what are the specs on it already? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

well it has 1gb of ram, 40GB maxtor 7200rpm hard drive. i think its a 550mhz G4... gotta double check the speed after i install the OS

we have g4's in school they ******* blow... nothing but problems

Hells yea Unix BABY!!!

the only thing i'm really gonna do on it is video's.... we'll see how well it does https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif I love those things. They are great for editing purposes. They dont crash!! Thats what I need. I see the "Blue Screen of Death" at least 4 times a day!

Nice!

if i wanted to i could put 2GB of ram in it for $200..... LOL

lol they dont crash???? what planet do u live on? every mac ive been on crashes all the ****** time... my win 2k machine has never once crashed

my brother had a mac, that was until his gf threw it out the window (3 Stories)

The number one reason people pic apple over windows is because they don't crash. I will admit that g4's are less stable then an Imac but...it is still better then and clone!

its a 400MHZ . powerful enough. i installed safari also. this is pretty cool. now to find a giant apple LCD :smirk:

did you know safari was made using Khtml? (KDE rendering engine, used in Konqueror)

nope had no clue i just know it is fast and i like it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I have a Dual 1.25 G4 and a 17" cinema display, and a 900mhz quicksilver with a 17" cinema display. both with superdrives https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png I love em. the perfect video editing stations. I dont know whats wrong with your school's mac's, what operating system are they running? OS X? or are they still running OS 9? Frankly, the older operating systems did have a fair amount of problems, and a lot of extension conflicts. Rarely ever did they reach the number of problems that winblows has had. Also, using schools as an example is bad in general. People play with them, ignorant kids break them, think they are being cool or know what they are doing. OS X is so well intergated with its UNIX core that the stability it has is almsot unshakable. Its not the fact that it has a UNIX kernal. Anyone could have done that, but just slapping a graphical shell on top of UNIX or LINUX would be just as unstable as piling Window's update on top of Window's update on top of window's update, like they have been doing obviously. However, apple made sure that the system was carefully intergrated into one another, thats what aid's in their stability. That and the protected memory and preemptive multitasking. BTW: anyone goto apple's website today? The new Power Mac G4 dual processor's have dropped in price substantially, the 3300 Dual 1.25 can now be had for 2200 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png and they lowered the 17 inch cinema display from 999 to 699, and introduced a 20" cinema display for 1299 and a 23" for only 1999!! the 22 inch used to be 2400!!! sweet deal im buying some lol https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png well maybe someday haha
