Ya right, try installing ML on that 1st gen Intel Mac.
I will go farther, Apple has declared the 2nd gen intels dead. I can't install ML on my C2D iMac.

Yeah I know.Sorry my friend, I have all three of your wish list.
I really want the FW800 DP1.42 on Craigslist. I even sold my Dual P/// tower to get some $$$$, but gotta buy groceries instead. I got a guy who has committed to purchasing one of my DA 733Mhz for midi authoring. I suspect that money will end up buying groceries as well.:cry: Plus I still need to reimburse GermanyChris for the shipping on the G5 he is sending me.----------
I have FW400 ports on all my windows machines. I have a firewire enclosure with FW400/800.
speaking of that there is workarounds to install Leo on a unsupported mac couldnt a simular work around be done to install ML on 1st gen Intel Macs? not like the HARDWARE is physically unable to run it

Yeah I know.

with ur signature how meny computer u need man jeez
Lion doesn't even support first generation Intel Macs. It would be very difficult, if not impossible to get Mountain Lion to run on those systems.

You don't know the half of it:

The CPU is hardware-wise not able to preform 64-bit calculations. Which are needed for Lion's Finder and Mountain Lion's kernel and everything else. Work arounds to installing Leopard on an unsupported Mac only go around the clock speed or the amount of ram. They don't go around lack of a CPU ability or lack of software provided by Apple. You don't see Leopard being installed and run on a G3 system because G3's lack AltiVec and Apple didn't provided the needed kexts in the golden master and newer releases of it.
Zeke, do I see HeMan? Is he singing What's Up?
Nice, that's a lot of Mac's you have there.
I didn't show the old picture of my iMac G3s. A buddy of mine had a replacement PMG5 power supply he was giving to me for free under the condition I take his 12 G3 iMacs. I managed to give away all but one of them. It took me a year to do it, but they all have homes.
damn dude ur a computer hoarder

Intel macs would be just like a PC a socket couldnt u just upgrade the CPU as u would a desktop or laptop?

Sorry, most of intel mac cpu's are soldered.
Is english not your native language?
theres a video of Leo running on a G3 iBook by adding the G3 into the code of leo

i need a CD Drive and caddy a HDD caddy and a PSU for the iMac 333 u got any?
thats stupid all intel processors (except Atom) are sockets figures apple would hard wire em just another way for apple to **** over its customers.
Link? I highly doubt it. I don't think the code was ever written to support G3 processors. I don't even believe G3's would have the hardware needed to properly run Leopard. Have you ever ran Leopard on a bare bone system? It's slow as molasses.
Intell already debunked this as well (posted above & quoted below) EDIT: posted below as well...
Intell said:
Yes, but not everyone would want to do that. Even then, Mountain Lion won't work and Lion won't work without a little modifications.
Of the desktops, 2006-2007 Minis, Mac Pros, and iMacs are socketed. None of the laptops are socketed, but they have still be upgraded.
Note what I said. Apple removed the G3 code from the golden master of Leopard. It was in the developer betas, but it was removed. All those people did was use the developer beta's kernel and kexts to get it running. Still those modifications don't work past 10.5.3 and the system was extremely unstable.
Not all of Intell's CPUs are socketed. About half of the laptop ones are BGA ones. Even the desktop class CPU's come in BGA styles. Heck, even some Atoms are socketed.

oh since my MDD takes the old PCMCIA style APC can i use a normal PCMCIA card? i have a D-Link PCMCIA card using the Atheros A5000 chip will it work?
Airport cards are only phyically the same as PCMCIA. They are not true PCMICA cards and will not work in a PCMICA port. Just as a PCMICA card will not work in an Airport slot. There are a few exceptions to this rule. These being the WaveLAN cards of the late 1990's, which happen to be what the Airport cards really are. Just rebranded WaveLAN Gold cards.
is it just me or does anyone else find it odd how the MDD has the hdds mounted upside down?
the pics of the MDD shows one HDD cage below the OD capible of holding 2 HDD and one mounted sideways behind the OD is the HDD cage behind the OD only present on SCSI models of the MDD or all models?
----------
ur talking about the Lucent WaveLAN right?
My little girl loves he-man. She was watching it when she and my wife went to walk the dog. BTW, that's prince Adam, not he-man.
Our local RTV affiliate broadcasts it so I have the media center set to reord I or her. I think I have them all now.

damn dude ur a computer hoarder
Yeah, I get them and I fix them up and give them to people who need a computer for browsing and word processing.
whats the difference between the WaveLan Sliver, WaveLAN Gold and WaveLAN Turbo? i do not want the Apple APC as its only wireless B which will be hella slow does WaveLan have any Wireless G cards?
There is also Alcatel WaveLAN cards what's the difference?
----------
isnt it strange how the MDD uses a 24PIN PSU connecter to the motherboard when PCs still used 20pin in that time frame?
just incase it happens and i know modding is needed but how would i mount a ATX PSU in a MDD?
Airport cards are nothing more than rebranded WaveLAN Gold cards. Same speed, same everything. WaveLAN Silver cards are hardware-wise the same, but firmware limited to WEP 64-bit encryption only. They can be turned into WaveLAN Gold cards through a firmware upgrade in an Airport Slot on a Mac. I'm not sure what exactly a WaveLAN Turbo is, but I'd image is still a WiFi B card. Any Airport compaitable card that will fit into that slot, will be a B only card. Lucent got bought out/was sold to Alcatel. The two cards should be the same.
For best results, it's best to get an Airport card. They don't have the extra integrated antenna sticking out of the end of them and they always have the port for the Mac's built in antenna.

I don't mean to be rude, but shouldn't we get back on topic? We've completely derailed this guy's thread, where he was asking about good suggestions for PPC machines.
@Leo, it might be a good idea to start a new thread for your discussion and you might get more replies rather than taking over someone elses.
