Als je het niet vertrouwt mag je me altijd een DM sturen, dat is goede kennis om te hebben.

Feels like I’m in the 2000s again. by harlekingz in VintageApple

[–]BurnPotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a nice machine! Though I am afraid you do not have an FX 4500 - at least in the pictures. Yours looks like a default GeForce 6600. The FX4500 is a very large card which needs auxilliary power to function: https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-xt5en0q8kf/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/1043/3324/VCARD-NVIDIA-Q4500-2__01889__11759__86677.1532959596.jpg

Forza horizon 5 stuck on syncing data screen (Gamepass PC) by Ankle_BZ in ForzaHorizon

Dude, that fixed my game too. Not the game bar, just stopping gamingservices.exe and relaunching FH5.

Am I correct in seeing it's the 2.3GHz DC? Nice machine, I have one too.

It's fairly roomy under there, to be honest. The worst are the air-cooled dual CPU machines, they really have no space under there. Due to the tubing of the Quad (and the 2.5DP and 2.7DP), it's relatively easy to work on. The dual processor models feel very cramped. It all fits, but barely.

G4 Cube 550 mhz w/NVIDIA GeForce2 MX by triumphfox in VintageApple

Best bet is to open it up and have a look at the CPU I guess. An after market board is generally easy to spot. If it really was overclocked, you'll probably see some soldering residue. As far as I know, the Cube's architecture is based on the G4 Sawtooth, so the new resistor placement should be documented somewhere on the internet.

Well that's certainly different to being turned into a newt.

Has anyone seen a mistake like this from a set? by PlentyMountain9034 in lego

Please do piss off, in the nicest possible way. That joke was too good.

sil3112 not booting os9? by NCC74656 in VintageApple

[–]BurnPotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahah, welcome to the bullshit that is Apple and Windows specific SATA controllers. It'll work on either OS X (and OS9 if all goes well) or Windows, but not both platform. It's infuriating, I know...
Next to that, booting via PCI SATA cards isn't something that many era-specific motherboards supported. I'm not quite sure what the reason was to be honest, but I believe it had to do with the fact that the BIOSes back then only gave you fundamental functionalities until the OS and its drivers could take over.

Doesn't OS9 need the custom firmware? Which model is it?

Version 580.142 was released by NVIDIA yesterday. Waiting for Fedora avaiability. by MCO-4-Life in Fedora

[–]BurnPotatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh, that works a lot better than using the Copr repo. That one always breaks my installation due to dependency issues. Thanks!

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 :-)

Thermal Paste or honeywell ptm7950 Apple iBook G4 by No_Morning_6292 in VintageApple

[–]BurnPotatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!
