  • Thanks all! I posted on Apple's forum and it was suggested I run ClamXav. Haven't got around to doing much with it yet, but I intend to, and also change my email password. I use Rovin Net as my host and they've been very responsive and relativ…
  • I re-installed 10.4.2 to no avail. Screensavers look to play fine in the little window within Sys Prefs. Sometimes when I hit thes test button they will try to load then quit. When they do load full screen they just stutter along as the pan and z…
  • Thanks Aqua - Quote: Run the Maintenance (corn) Scripts and Optimize the System I think you mean the cron scripts? (hehe) I have Macaroni running the scripts regularly on automatic and have on all my machines for years. I forced them to run o…
  • Quote: ...it could be a RAM problem (not enough). Thanks for the reply Free but I got 5 Gs of Apple/Crucial, I got carried away (hehe). I remember testing it w/ the CD that came w/ the G5 but I cant boot to that now 'cause of the 6800 I don't th…
  • Quote: Do you have Quartz D2 Extreme turned on? If so this could be the problem... Umm, does that mean I have to install the developer tools to see if its enabled or not? I never played around with it ... Also wanted to mention that the scree…
  • Update fixed an issue with effects in Myst IV: Revelation. Great game but not quite as good as Riven! G5 1.8 MP (orig) GeForce 6800 Ultra 5 GB RAM

  • Received mine yesterday (10/15). Never saw a full size card like that before. Man, what a beast!! There was a cable running up the back of the G5 just crossing the bottom right hand coroner of the AGP slot and preventing it from seating properly.…
  • My ship date for just the 6800 is still: On or before 09/17/2004 Order Date 07/08/2004 08:10 AM PST Of course 2 minutes after I post this it'll probably get pushed back...
  • Quote: Originally posted by Big Mac I realize that many hold Barefeats in disrepute, but I'm wondering if I should be concerned about Morgan's data that indicate the G5 is significantly slower than the G4 at sustained writes to Firewire RAIDs. Di…
  • Installing 10.3.4 didn't help. Not that I really expected it to. Although I haven't seen that repair permissions thing I posted above since I installed the update. No permissions have needed repairing so that seems to be back to normal. Fixed th…

  • Yeah, I broke it. I been kickin' myself for bein' such a klutz and puttin' a 'stain' on this otherwise perfect machine. I got lucky and received a flawless, beautiful G5, delivered to my door in less than 40 hrs from time of online order and i had t…
  • I moved the heat sensor today and now Thermograph does not detect it. It did before I messed with the sensor so I guess I broke it? Some have said to just disconnect sensor from logic board and fan will spin faster. Any suggestions as to whet…

  • Dual 1.8 runnin' like a champ here! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! Day #3. I have issues with going to sleep and going to work now, however, Apple Support could offer no fix for this! Received in less than 40 hrs from time of online order!
