Your Mac Hardware Setup


Recommended Posts

Bling3k12 the graphite iBook is sooooo nice... sh*tty res tho or else i want one... does it run itunes and the web well? macs are so nice even after all those years...

Runs iTunes just fine for playback, I wouldn't dare try the Visualizations and ripping is I think 2x... pretty slow... :p

Runs Safari and Camino just fine, iPhoto is a bit slow but mostly everything else is pretty decent running. Heck, I've even installed Xcode today and WebObjects Trial to learn some of that and compiling WebObjects Applications are pretty swift...

I've got a Dell laptop right next to me but I won't use it, even if it is faster... I'd rather use this than that thing :yes: I just feel more "at home" :cool:

Sadly it's not mine, when I get my new 17" this is going right back to work where I borrowed it from. I just hope they don't mind that I formatted and put Panther on it :whistle: :rofl:

Ok, so, you're obviously an XPostFacto user :)

What hardware's in your 7300, and what G3 upgrade is it?

Sonnet Crescendo G3/300Mhz and a PCI USB2/FireWire card. Soon I'll add a larger hard drive and some more RAM, maybe even a PCI Radeon video card as well. FWIW, the system only cost me $40 on eBay (before adding the USB/FireWire card).

I don't have any legacy Macs capable of running Panther any more, but, I assume Ryan has got the internal video on the 7300 working then?

Yes, he did (very nicely, in fact). The 7300 had a Twin Turbo 128 in it when I got it, but I could never get it working with Panther (but it did work with Jaguar), so I simply took it out and am selling it on eBay (which actually means that I'll recoup some of the $40 that I spent on the computer itself).

    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
