It went offline years ago - Way Back Machine doesn't have it either. A plough through Google might turn up some grabs?
Out of interest what machine are you looking to benchmark?
Got a tip for us?

It's a G4 Digital Audio Dual 533 with a Radeon 8500. I'm just mucking around putting an SSD in it. I have a Dual 1.25 MDD also but a cable got stuck in the fan & it over heated & won't start up now. I might pull the processor out & try to reseat it which someone recommended. I think the power supply is ok. If I can't get it running with minimal effort I'll just get rid of it...

I'd be interested to know how a dual 533 fares online, youtube etc.

I never stray from the retro tech subs - though they can be an ordeal at times...

Just an update about my strange issues.
I had the chance to verify that they also took place in Leopard, so not a Sorbet Leopard related issue.
After several tests, ram modules tests, kernel panics errors (each one more serious than the previous one) , it looks like after having the ssd formatted (using target disk mode) everything works properly again. Even , for a while, I thought thay my mac was fried, because it could not even boot.
To be honest, I'm 100% lost about what happened, because I don't expect that kernel panics (related to cpu, ram, etc) could be solved with a simple ssd format, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for a long time , without knowing what to expect.
In addition, as it currently works perfect (or at least it seems so) , I'm going to leave it with the current 1,25gb ram installed, and don't even try it with 2gb (what it had when all that mess started). If it works, don't touch anything 🙂

Hi all, I've just set up my PowerMac G5 dualie and looking to do some choice upgrades on it. Firstly the OS (it's running Leopard) - I see there is this Sorbet Leopard which looks awesome, but have also seen reference to a 10.5.9 - is this the same thing or a different 'upgraded Leopard' version? And which is best if they are different?
Many thanks in advance
Joel

@hopfenholz It's the same thing, I believe the OP states this as well.

Nah - think again 😀
Shuriken - Macintosh Garden
Shuriken is the official follow-up project to Sorbet Leopard, as well as the direct successor to the AquaTrimcelerator / AquaSuite Mac OS X 10.4 utility packages, in addition to being the ultimate culmination in (PowerPC-based) Mac OS X performance optimization, outclassing version 10.3 in both...

Huh.. I haven’t been super active lately but I don’t recall him making any posts about it on here. Wonder why.Nah - think again 😀

Looks like Tiger maybe? Or one of the early Leopard builds

If it were, it wouldn’t be called the sequel to Sorbet though…

Well it's listed as a Utility and it's Universal so maybe another tweaks bundle?
Cool name though 🙂

It was a crazy TV series in the 80s, The Master - played by an ageing Lee Van Cleef as "The only occidental American Ninja" - even at the time it was bad...but good 😀

Thanks. I'd never heard of it before and I don't recall ever seeing it on UK TV during the 80s alongside the other countless U.S. imports that bombarded our screens. 🙂
Just dropped a 256GB SSD into my recently-acquired dual G5 and installed Sorbet - so far so good and the SSD gives a nice performance bump.
After years using 'current' kit (although I refuse to move beyond Catalina on my iMac 5K 2020) it's so nice to be back in 'proper' Mac OS X
Can't wait to see what Shuriken brings

Finally getting around to putting this on some of my Macs. Did my 1GHz TiBook yesterday. Now doing my G4 Pismo. Hopefully Sorbet will run better on this thing than vanilla 10.5.8
I do most stuff over my network now, so it’s cloning the image from my NAS using a gigabit Ethernet card. Still slow but it isn’t too bad!

That's a great term to define good entertainment. This reminded me kind of the Tokusatsu genre that "dominated" TV's here in Brazil the late 80's though the mid 90's. I'll try to watch some episodes later.
Don't forget to install the patch for the Rage 128 card.
My biggest complaint with Sorbet on my G4 Pismo is artifacting of the cursor. Other than that, seems to work just fine.
