Post Your "About This Mac" Screenshots (PowerPC)!

[Lastic]

So before the paycheck came in , I found 4 x 2 GB of used RAM to add to my new PowerMac G5 Dual 2.3 Ghz so currently running with 12 GB RAM.

Wow first impressions, TFF which is usually a bit slower than LWK or feels less snappy, is FAAAASST now.
This machine already was a speed bump processor wise and has a SSD in it .
I went from 5,5 GB RAM to 12 GB RAM and it feels like a 2017 machine now (before more like a 2016 machine )

 

[AphoticD]

Well, technically speaking it is YOUR 2017 machine

Just for kicks, download Esperance DV from @eyoungren's Ram disk thread, then create a 2GB RAM Disk, copy TFF onto it and launch... it snaps from click to a fully loaded TFF search box in 2 seconds flat.

Edit: 4 seconds. Optimistic memory, my mistake

And number , hmmm, 7 , (must sell those I don't use) in the herd.

933 Quicksilver with Mac OS9 exercising itself at full 1920X1200....

A little free RAM bump till I get more.

Even my Lenovo P2 wants to get in on the act

One more. MacOS 7.1 running within Apple's MAE 1.0 for Solaris Sparc running on Solaris 8 on an Ultra 5. Bending the PPC theme somewhat but the Sparc is a RISC based chip. First time I have seen this in colour. All my Apple gear capable of running 7.1 or older have B/W displays.

Aah SPARC processors, never got jumpstart to work on my Sun Fire T1000 so it's stuck with OpenBSD which was installed by the seller and updated by me to 6.0 , if I ever have *more* spare-time might get around to try and install Solaris again.

Although Oracle has closed off all the updates to just those with a service contract you can still download Sol10 & Sol11 for free. I have my Ultra 5 dual booting 8 and 10. My boxed version of Sol10 dates from 2005 and the final version I downloaded from Oracle dates from 2013. That is 8 years of updates, pretty impressive except you pay through the nose for both hardware and software.

There isn't much in the way of easily obtainable applications that run on Solaris, though.

Latest hardware addition finally arrived. A PB G4 15". Only took the best part of two months to arrive. Not sure what to do with it but it was saved from recycling.

Do I win?

 

[LightBulbFun]

No (PS last I checked not PowerPC, theres thread for general about this mac shots in the pictures part of the forum) also top tip do cmd shift 4 then hit space bar, it will let you select entire windows for cleaner screen shots

And award for the "Greatest Range of Mac OS X capable PowerPC Hardware" goes to @LightBulbFun:

603 @ 160Mhz <---> Quad G5 @ 2.5Ghz​

Can anyone outdo that? Is it even possible?

He's the PPC King. Mine is a 233Mhz G3 to a Dual 2.7Ghz G5.

You've outdone me.

G3 @ 366Mhz <---> Dual Core G5 @ 2.3Ghz​

It was 300Mhz G3, but I successfully overclocked (my Blueberry iBook) today to 366, and my PowerPC Range was hindered in the process

If I can get a Quad, I think I'd beat @LightBulbFun, as I own a 6100/66, the first ever PowerPC Mac, and the Quad being the last.

6100/66 cant run OS X and the first PPC mac ever was the 6100/60 (IIRC only the 6100/60 can run copland)

I do know of one user here who could beat me if they wanted too
