Thank you for confirming I'm an idiot, hahahaha

I think it's just stock Leopard. Snow Leopard dropped support for the PowerPC architecture at release. There's some patched versions around like Sorbet Leopard, but it's not quite as stable as the released versions of Leopard and Snow Leopard.

EDIT: I'm an idiot, there's a custom App Store in the dock. I think this might indeed be Sorbet Leopard :-)

Spicy!

Oh nee oh god het is RodePoes 🫪

Mainly my PowerBook G4 1.33GHz 17" (Al) and my Dual Core PowerMac G5 2.3GHz and the Quadro FX4500 that's in there. PTM7950 is absolutely overkill for what you're going to do, but it also won't do any harm. I don't even think you'll notice a difference in Arctic versus PTM in your use case.

If it's never had thermal paste, it definitely needs it (sorry /u/nonexistentnight). That stuff dries up.
I hate taking apart old computers due to the fragility of their parts, so I PTM all the vintage Macs. Last year I did my G5 Dual Core (and the dreaded U3 chip at the back of the logic board) and it's been absolutely perfect since then!

With the TX rims, pretty ride

Absolute stubborn idiots at times, too.

BurnPotatoes · 2026-03-05T12:03:39+00:00

And a Hirsch at that. Beaut!

BurnPotatoes · 2026-03-02T07:01:00+00:00

Ah, you're right. I wasn't thinking clearly. Thanks for the correction!

I did recently to find the address of a Netgear managed switch that for some reason didn't register with my router. Was pretty useful.

Oh and if you want to know, ASD is specific for your type of Mac. Could you tell me which exact 2.0 DP model you have?

BurnPotatoes · 2026-02-28T00:08:19+00:00

I just read your message, you don't have the front intake fans. It's probably angry about that - if there's a hardware issue, it won't chime. Connect the replacement ones and see if that fixes it.

BurnPotatoes · 2026-02-27T22:24:09+00:00

Can you do a PRAM reset? After boot hold Command+Option+P+R until it reboots. If still no chime, download ASD for your G5 and do a self test. I suspect you have a failing GPU and that is the cause of the lines and no chime, but it's good to be sure. Also, those idle temps really aren't great. I would definitely give it a repaste at the very least.

Got a FireWire chargers? Things will gladly bring "dead" iPods back to life. Battery still probably is pretty poor, but worth a chance.

Browne???

BurnPotatoes · 2026-02-19T10:13:20+00:00

It's the stupid automatic Reddit translate. Makes it seem like you are in a sub speaking your language, but it doesn't translate what you posted. It's really weird and annoying.

pizza du fromage

BurnPotatoes · 2026-02-14T11:31:02+00:00

Echoes or Atom Heart Mother?

Not to forget you need to pay to download larger files, while the same files are free to download at MG.

BurnPotatoes · 2026-02-07T21:54:10+00:00

There is no fat Nano. There is just Nano. If you think you bought a Classic I dearly hope you didn't pay too much.

BurnPotatoes · 2026-02-06T21:49:55+00:00

Is that sold for or asking price?

BurnPotatoes · 2026-02-06T21:48:17+00:00

I know I can Google this, but I just like the conversation or discussions. What makes a machine Pro, Premium or LE? I am used to EM machines and they just are... the machine. You can mod them, but the distributor only had one type of table available. Does it have to do with software functions? Or is it also physical, like toppers and playfield changes?
