i just got a green imac g3 (slot loading and dual firewire) w/ os 8.6 installed. I planned to install os x (or even possibly ubuntu) on it, however, the dvd drive is dead. If I bought an external drive enclosure w/ firewire and a dvd drive, would I then be able to boot from a dvd and install...
I found a dual 500mhz g4 powermac for about $300 w/ a gig of ram and tiger. Would this be suitable for basic functions like web browsing or ilife? Also, how would photoshop run on this computer? I'm aware cs2 would probably be slow, but what about cs3 if I put a better graphics card in it...
Someone is locally selling a powermac g5 for $500 with the following specs:

and additional software.
Should I jump on this...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but thats what it seems to be. You have to add it to your cart to see the $360. Hope you enjoy!
I just bought a used 9800 pro from the amazon market place. I installed some older omega drivers (2.6.12), and it the card comes up everywhere as a 9800 pro, but the core and memory speeds match a vanilla 9800. What would cause that? Should I just move them to the normal pro speeds? Thanks...
I had planned to just get a tuner card for some tv recording, and just saw the nvdualtv (and maybe some upsampled dvd playback). Some of the features of the nvidia dualtv are 3d comb filter and noise reduction. Are these handled by the card itself, or do you need a dx9 gfx card to get them (i...
Many times, I just maxed out my money on ammunition, and hunted well knowing I couldn't bring all of the food back. Was I alone in that regard? How did you stock up before Hitting the trail?
I plan on getting an 17inch imac and attaching it to my monitor. From what i've read, you can only mirror the imac screen onto another monitor. The apple site says that the imac's screen resolution is 1440x900. Does that mean that if i mirror the screen, that is the max resolution i would get?
Well, i was looking at the imac page (w/ my student account) and when i changed the memory specs from 512 to a gig, there was nothing added to the price. Forgive me if this isn't new, but i just thought it was interesting.
I'm thinking of getting a mac mini, mainly for internet browsing and document typing, but I wanted to get into video editing too. The extra $100 for a dvd burner seemed a bit unnecessary, so I wanted to know if i could network the mini to my pc (which HAS a dvd burner) and burn finished movie...
