Suggestions for PowerMac G5 DC 2.3GHz...

Nice, very slick setup! Mind posting a bigger, more detailed pic and I suggest posting over in the "Post Your Setup Past and Present" thread over in the Picture section, too

Understood. Yeah, I went ahead and put back up my G5 and still using Safari 5.0.6 but this time with browsing set to PRIVATE.. that way no one will get my information.

Feels good to be back in the G5 lane!

I assume you use the Google service under Safari preferences? (Warn when visiting a fraudulent website)

Uncheck, "Allow websites to ask for location information"

Since mostly everything has been abandoned including Adobe Reader, uncheck "Enable plug-ins"
Manually download and view your PDF's etc. This will also disable anything to do with Quicktime items embedded into websites.

I assume you already have Safari cookies set to "Only from sites I visit"

Uninstall Flash player since it'll never be updated. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html#main_10.4
This is what I have done and get the Safari extension ClickToFlash for everything you need for HTML5.
(Safari may crash when updating to ClickToFlash 2.5+ on 32-bit Macs. If that happens, re-install version 2.4.1, uninstall it, and then install the latest version.)

Hey Nameci, would you mind doing some benchmarks? ioquake3, ut2004 to name a few. I am curious if the 2.3GHz DC is fast enough to deliver data to the FX4500. I have only seen benchmark results of Quad G5/FX4500/7800GT combinations...

I don't have those since I don't do gaming on my powermac. Would you mind pointing me to the direction where I can find resources for those?
