Check all ide cables are firmly plugged in. Try resetting the PRAM. (option-apple-pr 3 times or similar combination after poweron). Dobby.

I had a problem with long login delays when authenticating to an OpenLDAP domain and the host resolution was stuffed. I added most of the servers involved to the local netinfo hosts and it was much faster after that. I don;t know if this works in …

So Apple making a XWorkstation (as per thread) is pretty pointless if software developers aren't even taking the time to write/optimize existing software for the G5 (with or without altivec) although it is superior hardware. Quite sad really. Do…

Try also the Oreilly site and view some of its online OS X material. Dobby.

Is a dual intel or AMD BOXX really that much faster than a dualG5? Depends on the software I suppose. But I doubt it would be that much faster (they seem very well priced tho). Dobby.

I would say the Dual 2.5 G5 is a perfect example of a workstation class machine. Very powerfull yet still scaleable (mem/HD better gpu). You could you better this without increasing the cost and complexability? You don't want to better the G5 co…

If you are 100% PC and install a MAC server I don't see a huge benefit. You would be better off getting a pc with MS W2K3 Server and setting up a decent Active Directory structure. You can then do software rollouts/ virus/spyware etc from one cent…

You can certainly see the companies that know how to design and those that don't. Its a bit like looking at Ferrari and Skoda. Dobby.

put a password on a pdf or ms doc or spreadsheet and download passware or wordhack etc from a dodgy site (www.hackers.de or ww.eag.ru) and run it against it. Dobby.

Does this still happen after a reboot? What is the memory usage. Is a ram disk being used. Are network drives mounted. What apps are running. Is there high disk io? Dobby.

Everything you mention is correct, they all matter. Make sure you use a good thermal paster (with silver)for helping conduct/transfer the heat from the CPU to heatsink. If you have room then put on a heatsink and fan. See the overclocks or www.xl…

Why not buy a firewire harddrive for the mini and boot of that. The throughput on firewire is better than IDE anyway. Dobby.

Thanks Joe, that worked a treat. I didn't realise you could set the download type. Dobby.

It's nothing to do with age. It's probably a corrupted file or something. Did Disk Warrior find any errors on the disk (apart from the normal index rebuild)? Have you checked /var/log/system.log for any error messages that might mean that the HD i…

It doesn't look that hard to install the memory yourself anyway so try it. There is a link somewhere on this site (sorry I can't remember where it was but search for mini mac and you'll find it.) that give instructions and a photo on how to do it. …

I suppose you could have a 'mini grid' of cells for a Desktop machine but I reckon it would be impracticle and expensive over the current technology. A PS3 will use Cell technology but a PS3 isn't a very flexible machine. This doesn't mean it can't…

I think serial numbers are fine. I don't even mind if they look to see if the serail is used on the local net. I personally despise any registration shit! Not all machines have internet access. It also makes it much much harder to move the softwa…
