What sorta Mac do you have?

[kiwi_the_iwik]

As a fellow Cube owner, I feel I must add my baby to the list...

G4 Cube
450 Mhz
768 Mb Ram
20 Gig HD
HK Soundsticks & iSub
15" LCD Display

Great machine - love it to bits...

Like wsteineker, I'm considering the upgrade path. I think a GeForce 2MX will be enough for me - a friend of mine is upgrading his Quicksilver graphics card for a GeForce 4, so I'll buy his 2MX. Bugger eBay's inflated prices.

A Sonnet Dual G4/500 Encore would be nice too - but I can't for a while, until my Applecare warranty expires (19 months to go, and counting...).

Dear God man, we have to get you out of the house more often Seriously that is quite a collection. Do they all run? How do you delegate time to the systems. For Example. If I stll had my old blueberry iBook, I would probably do more on that than any of my other Macs. I loved that toliet seat looking, 50 pound, purse....he,he...

Hehe! Yeah, they all run except for the portable, it needs a new "brick" battery. I don't boot 'em up all that often, I don't have *that* much time on my hands...

The ones I use most are the Mac Plus, Quadras, PowerMacs, and newer. The other ones are mostly collection fillers, although they do see the light of day once in awhile!

It would be very hard not to fire up one of the older ones and play Oregon Trail until the cows come home

Man, the glory of the old days. I remember my 1st Mac. It was an LC. I loved that thing. My X ran off with it back in the day. It was like 3 or 4 grand new. Sick when you think about it.

I used to have a pizza box too - mine was the LCII 8/80. Funny - the specs seemed so much more impressive back then...

My first Mac - a 512KE - is still sitting in my parents' airing cupboard back in Australia. I went back to visit them a few years ago, and fired up the old girl. Spot on - didn't miss a beat.

Ahhh, those were the days (complaining that Falcon wouldn't run because I only had 512Kb to play with instead of the full 1Mb)...

I remember the 1st time that I saw After Dark running, and I thought that it was just the coolest thing I had ever saw. That, Oregon Trail, Falcon, man, there ain't nothing like a nice black and white monitor for the soul.

Hey Bubba... read the title of the thread... "What sorta Mac do you have". We don't give a rat's flaming rectal cavity about your poc.

 

[SilvorX]

geez i told u i dont have a mac n didnt want to feel left out geez

 

[King Cobra]

All right, SilvorX, here is your source of error...

You posted information on a peesea. I don't care if you posted information on your peesea, or if you want a Mac, but decided to post information on a peesea, but you posted information on a PEESEA!

I am insulted. I wouldn't even post information about my Macs on a peesea forum (do they even exist?)

FYI: If you can't think of anything intelligent to post, do not post anything at all. Again, common sense.

If you can't take a little heat, then don't go near the kitchen. If you are that fragile of character, then I feel sorry for you.

 

[kishba]

jeez guys everyone talks about the forums are for fun... SilvorX was just posting stuff for fun... as joke

everyone needs to cool down before they post ANYTHING....sheesh

everyone here has a tendency to get angry over things that could very well have been said just for fun

::shakes head disgustedly::

 

[AlphaTech]

Well, at least firewire2001 posted Mac's as well as the peecee he created. I find home grown peecees more acceptable then ones that are mass produced, or done by shops. If you are going to have a peecee, do the research and bleed into it as you create it. Depending on the case you select is how much you will bleed. I know from first hand experience that the ONLY case that won't cut you come from CoolerMaster. All the others claim to have rolled over edges to prevent cutting you, but as of yet I have not found any others that live up to that claim.

Heheehe! I have a Mac Clone in my closet, and I know exactly what you are talking about. Man, if you touch that thing, its like "slice!" Right through your damn skin.

How long do you think it might be before we start seeing that sort of power on a portable mac?

after reading what Alpha said about it last week...I'd take a sure guess within a year we'll see at least 64MB easy...

but we're starting to get to the point where the #'s will increase rapidly...

Cube

Hey wsteineker, I've got a Cube as well (500MHz G4, 256MB RAM & 40 GB HD) and I was also interested in upgrading my graphics (16 MB ATI 128 Pro). What cards will it take and do you have any idea about how hard a new graphics card is to install? Thanks a bunch-


Bill

u should really start a thread in Mac Help/Questions to ask that...

u would likely get quicker/better answers...

Hey Bill, I'll answer you briefly here. If you are interested in any more information, e-mail me or pm. It'll take an AGP GeForce2MX Mac Edition, an AGP Radeon Mac Edition, or a GeForce3 Mac Edition. All of these cards will fit quite easily into the stock Rage's slot. All you need are some Torx screwdrivers. It's REALLY easy. I'd recommend a Radeon over a GeForce2MX (better DVD playback). Any of these cards will serve you well in Quartz Extreme, really. The GeForce3 is the big papa of the bunch. It's a stud. Both it and the Radeon need fans to run in the Cube (operating temps), but you can get away with a big heatsink if you choose the GeForce2MX. Like I said, e-mail me or pm if you have any more questions. I'll be more than happy to help.

 

[whawho]

My Mac:

Quicksilver 800mhz
1 gig ram
100 gigs of space (2 hd)
nVidia GeForce 4mx
OSX 10.1.4

AlphaTech can be a bit coarse at times (as we all can), but good God man! If you're going to let that get to you you're almost looking for a reason not to switch to Mac. And if that's the case... I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for you.
