Apple Power Mac G4 Graphite - working with Mac OS 9.2 installed monitor keyboard | eBay
This is a G4 Apple Powermac. It is working - I have just installed Mac OS 9.2.1 on it and it switches on. See photos. 30GB hard drive. The Mac is OK. It had been taped shut and there may be remnants of tape left on it.www.ebay.co.uk
looks like a Sawtooth with a decent 1.2Ghz G4 CPU upgraded fitted potentially a good bargain for someone
if it was a DA/QS id be all over it since I really want one of those for the collection but its a sawtooth and I already have one of those
(note i have no affiliation with the seller just something I spotted on ebay while searching for a DA/QS)
Good luck - I'll keep my thumbs pressed for you!Boxed DLSD. Might try my luck. However, the serial on the penultimate pic (W8553...) says week 53, 2005. Huh?![]()

It has even 2GB working RAM and no dead RAM slot.
Thanks! I'm afraid the price will skyrocket at some point due to having the original box.
Does anyone have an idea what the serial number is all about?
So here's my latest acquisition.

It's a Dell Vostro V13 "ultrabook" from 2010 with a 1.4 GHz Core 2 Solo (the main reason I bought it - those are hard to come by), 4 GB RAM, a 250 GB Samsung 850 Evo [that alone is worth the 30 bucks I paid for this thing!] and a 13.3" 1366×768 (ugh!) screen. The aluminum case makes it look a lot more expensive than it actually was when new, and I love the fact that all the ports are on the back and the display hinges don't wrap around the case which is a pretty unique feature.Unfortunately I could not remove those stupid CPU/OS stickers in the lower right corner of the palmrest without leaving some sticky residue and covered it with clear adhesive tape for now - it looks a lot worse on the picture than in reality though.
UPDATE: Gave it another thorough try and managed to remove all the residue - woohoo!![]()
The big advantage to the Intel chips was cores, I believe that’s a major part of the performance increase going from the 05 Macs to the 06 ones.
How does a Core 2 Solo compare to a Core Solo or Core 2 Duo?
This reminds me, a long time ago I read a review of the first Intel Mac mini. They benchmarked the core solo Intel 1.5GHz mini with the previous PPC G4 1.5GHz mini and it was either barely faster or even slower running different native programs. For PPC programs the core solo was destroyed by the older G4 model.
Great, that's the Swiss-Army-Knife for booting all sort of Macs which have a failing optical drive.LaCie Dual Layer DVD Burner with two FW400 ports.

Wow, that's a steal for this machineNot a PowerPC, but I just got myself a Mac Pro 2008, with 2x3.2 Xeons, 16GB FB-DIMM RAM, Radeon 5770 plus a 20' aluminium Apple Cinema Display, for £50!
It struggles with consistent performance, and really sucks at writing over deleted data.@timidpimpin Forgive my ignorance, but what's wrong with SMR?
