wot the heck is wrong with your dual 1gig quicksilver?!? accelerator card to 1.8? dual 1.42 mdd board?<- i dunno if that is possible, but worth a shot

secondly if u don't mind graphics, gut an intel mini that definately will fit!

I would imagine that the Mac Pro, or any Apple/Intel board is going to be a much different layout than the G4 board.  It would be a lot of work, but I'm sure it's possible....and it would be a cool little computer.  I love the G4 case.

He might like the QS case. I personally like the QS case for looks more than any of the others.

i think his qs kicks ass.  i don't see the problem?

I think he would like some hardcore speed. Yah know like the intels offer.

it's time to optimize your system.  get rid of all your porn or for one.  and, by modern you mean wifi less modern? where a new york school district halted the use of the "modern" os because it doesnt work?  sounds good to me!

just because some school district couldn't get something (and I say something because you didn't bother to explain or cite your example) to work doesn't mean G4 is the r0x0r ... You are a PCC elitist stuck in the damn past. Normal people, yes I said NORMAL people want new faster computers. My 2.2 ic2d blackbook is faster at alot of things than my D2.3 G5 ... MY G5 ... and your still going on about G4 ... Christ! I understand you have some petty bullcrap against intel ... smurf that ... intels are still faster than the PPCs regardless of whatever the hell you have against it ...

Congratulations, you just beat up* a 13 year old.**

to mrreet; you must be extremely rich, to buy everything over.  m$ office for example is not cheap, nor is it even affordable. here is your cite on an upgrade of office http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp … 4052593484

here is your cite on the new york schools http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08 … _flaw.html

where is this kick ass speed you speak of? oh thats right in order for me to use kick ass speed pro tools i have to upgrade to 7.3 which costs http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?lan … emid=4963.  and if i MUST use it on a ppc it's slow as syrup, because the format is now different.

to dvpierce; congratulations to you because that makes less sense than putting an intel board in a g4 tower right? [claps]

your logic is flawed, nothing is wrong with his computer.  but, i'm crazy because i think he should accelerate it instead where it is more cost effective and less time consuming. yes it is notwithstanding, but i guess you both didnt hear the part where i said maybe i had gotten a defective macbook as my first experience, and decided to give this intel mini a chance so far it has been stable.

edit; i am not against spending money my blackbook was a c2d 2.0ghz with 2gigs of ram and a 7200rpm hard drive.  if it works then great!  the new 3ghz imacs that we use to accompany the main xeons are incredible i do not even notice any rosetta.

.

The typical user doesn't need "Microsoft Server Exchange Support & Automator Actions for Workflows in Microsoft Office" ... Which means Office Home and Student Edition is fine for most which can be had for 130$ ....

For someone who 'can' afford to buy a new intel mac ... 200$ isn't expensive. Logic is better than Pro tools anyway.


and since the article doesn't even say what the "issue" is ... I am still going to ignore it, becomes A. someone who orders apples through dell are off their rocker and B. none of the districts around here have had and any real problems with leo.

i did say earlier to gut an intel mini as the cheapest way to keep the qs case.

you said that right after telling him he should just upgrade the cpu then a post later telling him there is nothing wrong with his g4 and you love g4s ... thats 'wot' my deal is. The OP wants an intel mac ... there is nothing wrong with that.

Just warning you ... The Psystar is just a pc that they install a hacked OS onto ... ala OSX/86. You can't go out and buy an apple os and install it on the computer without hacking the os.

I thought the Psystar used hacked EFI.

I retract my previous statement. The last time I was at their website i swear it said you had to use a hacked copy... but that was a while ago.

The issue is a bit muddled atm. The OSX disc included cannot be used to reinstall OSX normally, last I heard, so Psystar appears to do something differently. Just what is unclear.

you call psystar you tell them you need to reinstall.  they send you a big box and charge you 50 bucks back and forth last i heard.
