Wow what a coincidence... I just got a PowerBook from Missouri, and it was shipped by FedEx also hahaha.
Thanks! Im super excited!
Awesome! Haha maybe same seller? I was surprised how quickly mine shipped.
I would love to get a powerbook again or get an aluminum macbook pro
If you look at that picture, you can read "more info" at the bottom, this will be the place where you can look for the graphics card, when you finally got the PM shipped to you.
Yeah im familiar with macs, I ahiw my gf how to use her mbp all the time
Thanks tho ill l post more when I get it this week so we can see if anything is really worth upgrading
If there really is 5GB of RAM in there that should be fine. However, a newer hard drive maybe of use primarily for reliability concerns. When you get it post what's really in there and we will let you know of any upgrades.
I was thinking the same thing, but if I can find 3 cheaper sticks of RAM to bring her up to 8GB, maxing it out may be nice. The listing said that there's a new 250GB HDD in there, so I should be set there, I may add some other drives for more space. Only thing is I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with it yet or what I'll use it for.
Hey dude, how much would you be willing to let me have one of those G5 7800s!?
My late 2005 dual core 2.0 is only limited by it's crummy 6600LE.
I'm glad that card was "LE, Limited Edition"....it ********* blows...
Including shipping to ireland, how much man?

PM me
You cannot install three sticks to bump it up. You must install matched pairs of identical RAM into the matched slots.
Since im not able to view classifieds yet, im curious if anyone has an apple keyboard and mouse for sale. Id like wired, mighty mouse and aluminum keyboard with or without number pad.

I know that's recommended but I have put non matching sticks into macs before without issue. Is it a usual thing that they need identical sticks?

Yes on some Macs it doesn't matter. You lose the dual channels but it will function. Using an unmatched set in a G5 will cause them to be unrecognized. All RAM must be installed as matched identical pairs to be recognized and function.
Interesting and good to know!
Is is possible that 5GB of ram is installed then and only 4GB work, or can that 5th stick still work if it matches?

The PowerMac G5 discussed in this thread would not be able to use that card as it is a PCIe card and your machine only take PCIx and AGP cards.
It can be 5GB, loo:
2x 2GB + 2x 512MB = 5GB
4x 1GB + 2x 512MB = 5GB
6x 256MB + 2x 1GB = 5GB
and so on.
Some sellers that count cents, do the trick in installing several 256MB sticks (which are worthless sold seperately) to make it look a high number.
Ahh I didn't even think of that. Ill have to wait and see what I have then. Hopefully more 1gb sticks lol
As far a Blue tooth goes, I purchased Mac compatible USB dongle from Ebay, it has worked without a hitch for the past two years.
The one I got came from China and looks much like the one in the link, but just look around a bit and make sure the one you choose is Mac (OS X) compatible.

Hmm that doesn't look too bad.
For now I'm just going to use a Logitech mouse and Microsoft keyboard, both wireless, should be able to place the dongles in the back and have them go unseen. I don't have the cash right now, but I'd like to get some bluetooth Apple keyboard and possibly the magic trackpad even though it's not fully supported.
Pretty good! I picked up a base model 2GHz with a Cinema Display for $80 (I have a damaged case though) You definitely got a deal, that RAM is VERY expensive! (Close to $60 worth). I use mine all the time, what are you wanting to do with it? That determines the upgrades you should do

Very nice! When I get some more desk space I wouldn't mind a decent cinema display!
I plan to do minor photo editing and mostly internet browsing for now. I'll have to see what it can do and determine further from there!

I love my 20" Cinema Display
If I had more money I would get the thunderbolt display but Apple did a wonderful job on the Silver Cinema Display, just wish Apple's produce were a bit cheaper!I love my 20" Cinema Display
That's what gets me as well, all of Apple's markups. Hence why I don't have any newer products of theirs lol
I can get an equally good monitor for half the price, but matching Apple stuff kind of has a good look together and the Apple logo and products just have a weird kind of cult following that's easy to get into. This is why I think they make so much money lol
Ah, good! I forget to mention that option, too. Though I have had the experience that almost every dongle is compatible, even if they do not state that they are OS X compatible.
