My Mac:

400 mhz G4 AGP

ATI Rage Pro

512 mb PC-133(not that it natters bus is only 100 mhz : ) )

12x TDK burner

OS X 10.2.1

I have had this G4 since they were first released but ended up giving it to my mother, just recently got it back and installed OS X on it and i have to say that I love it, I now spend more time on it then my PC. I switched to PCs years ago after having a Macintosh Classic, and Performa series (can't remember the number but it was 60 mhz PPC, and i installed a DOS compatiblity card, with a 486, remmeber those).

eeek...hope it gets fixed n ends up running well..

i have my eyes on an 800 mhz emac right now...cant get what "I" want (powermac) lol...so i have to settle with something else, i was thinking for a while of getting a high end 15" imac but then again it would cost too much ($3000 with taxes in CDN $$$), emac would be the best deal...and i was thinking bout getting the low end emac with an ipod...but i'dd rather have a computer with a 60 gig drive for $2200 than a computer with a 40 gig drive (n slower processor) and 20 gig ipod thats about $2500 CDN...hmmm

i changed configurations so im assuming its ok to post the new specs heh

powermac g3 blue and white

g4 450mhz processor

256 - 384mb of ram depending on if i give ram to the pc or not

40 gb WD hard drive

17 inch apple studio display

ahh the joys of upgrading, ill say the g4 definately makes a difference, any blue and white g3 owners should definately upgrade, i went from a 350g3 to a 450 g4 and wow i can feel it, esspecially in stuff like imovie so i say if ya find a good price on a g4 zif for your blue and white go for it!.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Legend20 · Posted

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Windows 11 gets better widgets, new Screen Tint feature, and more in the latest build

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
