That listing doesn't ship outside the US either. The only seller that I have found with supplies is MemoryX but at $25 a pop for 128 EDO sticks, it's going to be too rich for my 9600s.
Got a tip for us?

some of the other listings from the same seller do curiously enough (like the listing for 2 64MB sticks)
but shipping cost then makes things a bit unfavourable sadly
Went to a fleamarket this morning, saw somebody selling some computer parts and a NVIDIA card caught my eyes. Yes, it was a FX 4500 as I thought! Snatched it for €5, went home, and flashed it with a PowerPC ROM. Now my Quad has a nice upgrade over the GeForce 6600 it came with 
Mmmm graphics acceleration
(note most of this is not my work but I am beta testing it for the person whos work this is )

Accretion or acceleration? If the latter, are you telling us that someone is writing a 64bit driver for the X1300? Wowzers, if so.
the Later LOL
well 64bit X1xx drivers have been around for a long while now, but its only now they got them working in Mavericks
(this works for all X1xxx cards so X1300 X1600 and X1900)

There you go making me regret selling my 2006 MBP just a teeny weeny little bit

its a good excuse to get a Poly carb iMac or a 2006-2008 Xserve
(like we need an excuse to do so

I most definitely don't
Mac mini loves Bertha No framebuffer corruption unlike on the PBG4SLSD/9700 so this is awesome.
WQUXGA really is sumpin' else, especially on 22 inches.
EDIT: The Mini boots at 1920×2400 but OS X switches to full resolution once WindowServer loads. Interestingly, booting Jaguar results in a broken greyscale 1920×2400 - I expected it to at least display 1920×2400 in colour due to falling back to the NDRV. I had Jaguar running at 1920×1200 in colour on the Mini using an ACD.

OS 9 on the Mini only drives 4,608,000 - i.e. half - of Bertha's pixels; setting full resolution results in a garbled image. Might have something to do with the fact that the Mini boots at 1920×2400. Still, the classic GUI is a pretty surreal experience at 1920×2400
very cool stuff it would be interesting to see what the display would do under 9, on a better/officially supported video card/system (even with normal DVI monitors things can be a bit touch and go with OS 9 on the mini)
now that I have the DVI in DP out adapter from you, I should see if I can get 2560x1440 from OS 9
up until now I have only done 2048x1152, which is the maximum single link DVI rez my monitor will do (although under OS X I have been able to get 2560x1440 at 30Hz, wonder if I could do the same under 9?)
but now that I can feed it Dual link DVI via the adapter, I should be able to use my FireGL X3 to get 2560x1440 in OS 9, since now I can use its dual link port
(obviously theres no drivers for the FireGL X3 under OS 9, but im hoping its built in NDRV will play ball and allow OS 9 to boot etc)

@Amethyst1
These high res shots are great and all... but how can you possibly tolerate 13Hz? My eyes would be having fits.

This would be perfect for Quark 3.1 and newspaper layout composition.
You name it
Even better when I get OS 9 to run at full resolution though.[doublepost=1558861800][/doublepost]
This is an LCD, thus it doesn't flicker at all like a CRT would. The slow refresh is noticeable because the mouse cursor is jerky and there's some tearing when quickly dragging a full window around, and I strongly believe videos would be virtually unwatchable. But no flickering.
13Hz over a single DVI is just a fallback solution anyway, these monitors are really meant to be driven by multiple DVIs to get a higher refresh rate.

Yes, I'm considering a DVI TiBook as it would allow testing this with OS 9, Jaguar and even Puma if it was a 667 or 800 MHz one. (A PMG4 with several different graphics cards would be even better of course, but space is at a premium here.)
I wonder if OS 9 would display at 3840×2400 if I got the Mini to boot at that rez. Bertha has several pre-programmed EDIDs to choose from so I'll play around with these.
I had the Dell U2711 (their first 2560×1440 monitor) which was subject to the same limitation; although you should be able to squeeze 2560×1440@40~41 Hz out of single-link DVI at 165 MHz pixel clock.
The nice thing about the U2711 was that it also had VGA - I have to admit to never having tried 2560×1440 using that input though. It did 1920×1080@60Hz on a Matrox G200 via VGA.
I also tried displaying two 1280×1440@60Hz signals using the U2711's Picture-by-Picture mode to get full rez using two SL-DVIs from a Mobility Radeon 9000 (there are oddball PCI cards with those mobile GPUs, sadly I accidentally killed mine
) but that didn't work either; the picture was horribly distorted.but now that I can feed it Dual link DVI via the adapter, I should be able to use my FireGL X3 to get 2560x1440 in OS 9, since now I can use its dual link port
(obviously theres no drivers for the FireGL X3 under OS 9, but im hoping its built in NDRV will play ball and allow OS 9 to boot etc)
Considering you also got 2048×1152 in Mac OS 7.6.1, I wonder if I'd be able to get at least 1920×2400 out of the same setup using Bertha - now that would be positively insane
I was given a PMG5 dual last week and restored it to great condition with clean install of Leopard on SSD in too. After two days the PSU exploded though

Ahh man that’s some bad luck. Quick! Buy & install a replacement psu & post ATM screen shots before the off-topic stasi show up & give you a hard time
My latest purchase, 600Mhz G3 iBook - also the first PPC laptop I've fitted with a SSD...
The latest addition to my stable is the A1134. I had been after one of these for a while now. Came with just its onboard RAM but I found a 1GB stick in my spare RAM box and now it's good to go.
very nice find
I have also been meaning to acquire a Last gen iBook G4 for some time nowthe 1.42Ghz iBook G4 holds the distinction of the only mac having a 142 Mhz bus speed, apple really liked their 10x multiplier when it came to the last iBook G4 for some reason LOL
Yes, I never really understood the point of capping the smaller one at 1.33GHz unless thermals dictated no further but since the Mac Mini and the PBG4 managed faster processors it was probably just a sop to the buyers of the larger but more expensive iBook.
I'm going to go against the grain and state that I think I prefer the 14" models from an aesthetic point of view, although I did buy the 12" in a good deal from the newly opened Apple Store in Regent St back in the day.
What are your thoughts on the iBook G3 upgraded to SSD? I was really happy with my iBook G3 700MHz with a 32GB mSATA SSD... before the PMU died.

Well, the HDD was slowly dying so the SSD was an immediate improvement but overall I feel the measly 8Mb VRAM holds it back regarding a fluid GUI. As ever on low end machines, I use every speed trick going and ShadowKiller as standard.

I had the 1.33Mhz 14" and partially agree - I do prefer the 12" form factor but the 14" plastic appeared to be a higher grade and the laptop felt like it had been manufactured from a solid slab of brilliant white polycarbonate.
