I've got 4GB in mine already :D

I just replaced one of the iBooks with a 1.33GHz 12" PowerBook

Does the G5 tower accept 2GB DIMMs? I've seen 16GB listed as the max for the XServes somewhere, but, never for the tower...

I'm pretty sure it does. The memory limits in the specs for the G5 tower were written before the 2GB DIMMS were available. Apple has a bad habit of never updating that kind of information in their spec sheets (they still list 512MB as the max for a Pismo, because 512MB SODIMMS were not available when the Pismo was made).

I think DigiJames has 3Gb RAM in his! :p I've only got 1.5Gb in mine - for the moment anyhow. I am after a cheap Clamshell iBook, so if anyone's got one... I've already checked up eBay! ;)

What kind of price range are you looking for? And what model/speed in particular? I'll see what I can locate.

Same was true of the WallStreet (for example) which (for some machines) could take up to 512MB, and G4 PowerBook and iBooks could take 1GB SoDIMMs unofficially.

Was just wondering if anyone had seen anything other than speculation...

EDIT: Just looked at Corsair's site, as far as I see, the 2GB memory listed is 2x1GB DIMMs (still giving a 8GB limit), unless I'm missing something else on the site?

Dual 2Ghz G5

512MB

160GB SATA

Radeon 9600 Pro

2x Radeon 7000 PCI

ViewSonic 20

2x Compaq P75

Mac OS X 10.3.4

My new system is very similar to mrelusive's Only a tich better (in most areas, exception being he's got more vid cards???). I had everything pretty much maxed out as much as apple would allow. I also have a stock G5 sittin around :D

Dual 2GHz G5

? 8GB DDR400 SDRAM (PC3200:woot:t:

? 2x 250GB Serial ATA - 7200rpm

? ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

? 2x Apple Cinema Studio Displays

? Mac OS 10.3.4

Granted work paid for the system but it's technically "m:yes:uot; :yes:

one this that bothers me though is how freaking lound the thing is, I am used to how quiet windows computer are.

The B&W G3 should be a LOT quieter than the average x86 machine (the majority of which are in no way quiet) as it is largely convection cooled, with the PSU fan being the only fan (IIRC).

I'd check that it's not clogged up with dirt and dust if it's noisy, as the machine should be barely audible in a normal room

From Forbes.com-

'The G5 supports up to 8 gigabytes of RAM, whereas the current line of G4 boxes maxed at 2 gigabytes. Eight gigabytes may seem like a lot of memory, but consider this: The chip has a theoretical memory limit of 18 exabytes. That is not a typo'

Also, I did read in a tech doc on Apple's site that the controller in the G5 supports 2GB memory modules. They just aren't in existence yet. Corsair is supposed to be working on 2GB high density chips. I don't recall where I read this tho, probably MacNN.

actually, i thought corsair had released those modules, they were just ridiculously expensive and they were extremely rare.

I am still killing myself today for not having bought the Combo Drive.

Is it possible to change that? I know how to take my iBook apart, just, where the hell could I find the part >.<

If you find a combo drive on ebay you could add it. I have seen 1x superdrives that worked in iBook also, but they were ~$500.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
