QFT, but it still looks crap :rofl: (MY OPINION)

the blue taskbar and background looks.... :x get some themes working :D

nah i dont think so. :) it really suits great with the white case.

anyways, OSX looks so much better of course, but yea, i like xp on imac.

maybe it just looks "good" because its not seen every day (til now).

Sorry to break up the conversation. When not on my lap:

Desk: A vintage Anco Bilt Drafting table made of solid oak I believe. I would like to refinish it soon.

Computer: 12" 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4

Cell: Sony Ericsson w600i

Headset: Plantronics Voyager 510

You find out how bad telephone frequency bandwidth is when you listen to iTunes on that thing. Nasty!

Does anyone else think we should have full or near full frequency when talking on the phone?

The newest additions to the family is the - a PowerMac QuadCore:

  • 4x 2.5Ghz G5 Cores
  • 500gb Primary HD
  • 250gb Secondary HD
  • NVidia GT6800 256MB RAM
  • 2.5GB DDR2 RAM

And no - I don't really need all that power, but why the hell not ;) :laugh: :cool:

If it turns out to be 64bit, which im pretty sure it will be, then my god, it will be something to write down in history...

Don't count Intel releasing 64 bit chips. Apple went 1 step backwards when switching to Intel and this could hurt them further. Heck Intel's Mac processors are not supporting 64 bit while their desktops are, which is quite strange and Intel dual cores are not that great of an offering.

The Intel iMacs are stuck at 4GB of RAM while the G5s could use more than 4GB. Too bad Apple didn't go green with AMD.

The iMac G5 could only go up to 2.5gb...or are you saying that G5s are able to take more ram if they wanted it?

The Intel iMacs have a limit of 2GB, the G5 iMacs have the same limitation. Ram capacity is based on the mobo not the chip....

you got part of it right and part wrong, if the chip is 32 bit the max is 4gb and much higher if the chip is 64bit......but as you said if the mobo only supports 2gb than it wont handle more (even if it's 64bit)

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
