2003 APPLE MAC G5 WIFI INSTALL

To install this firmware update, you must boot into Mac OS 9.2.2 from a writable partition (not a CD).

2003 APPLE MAC G5 WIFI UPDATE

The newest version for Mirrored Drive Doors models is Power Mac G4 Firmware Update 4.4.8, which is only for Mirrored Drive Doors Power Mac. You should have the most recent firmware installed in your Power Mac G4. Plug in a USB mouse, and that drops to two. Plug in the keyboard, and you have three available. Watch out for Apple’s claim of “four USB ports” – there are two on the computer and two on the keyboard, just like the old G4s. There are four 3.5″ hard drive bays inside the G4.Īlthough the MDD Power Macs support up to 2 GB of RAM, Mac OS 9 is only able to access up to 1.5 GB. Only the ATA/100 connector supports drives over 128 GB capacity. This model has a 167 MHz system bus, two media drives bays (so you can have a SuperDrive and a fast CD burner), four RAM sockets, and three independent drive buses that each support two devices. An Ultra ATA/33 (ATA-4) bus is used for the optical drive(s), Ultra ATA/100 (ATA-6) connects to the stock hard drive, and there’s also an unused Ultra ATA/66 (ATA-5) bus. Unlike the Early 2003 FireWire 800 Power Macs, it has the ability to boot into OS 9, uses plain old 802.11b AirPort cards instead of the newer, faster 802.11g AirPort Extreme, and doesn’t include FireWire 800. The June 2003 model is essentially the same as the 2002 1.25 GHz dual processor model, except that it is also available with a single CPU. Like the 2002 Mirrored Drive Doors Power Mac G4, this model can boot into OS 9 as well as OS X. It must be time for Apple to unload the last of the old hardware. Looking forward to Monday’s announcements.Leave it to Apple to completely confuse the market by releasing a “brand new” 1.25 GHz Power Mac G4 model at the same time it announced the first Power Mac G5s. That could amount to a very strong presence in Europe where there are also a great many Apple fans, and it would offer an attractive alternative to Linux (which is after all also an Apple competitor) because, IMHO, the various flavors of Linux skins certainly look very nice but Aqua is just plain sexy.

2003 APPLE MAC G5 WIFI SOFTWARE

It would make a great case for Apple as a choice platform because of its demonstrated user-friendliness, its superior hardware architecture, its support for Open Source software and the fact that it very clearly is not Microsoft. Of course, X would still be a proprietary system, but many of the components would be Open Source, and the all the third party software could be Open Source if the customer so wanted.

Imagine Apple offering a box crammed full of Open Source software (the box still running X, of course) and introducing it as another alternative to proprietary platforms. If Apple gets with the program and puts all the right gear in their boxes at a competitive price they should expect clear interest from a lot of people.īut this is the thing : there’s a growing movement in Europe to move away from Microsoft dominated desktops in favor of Linux. I couldn’t say whether this is a hoax or not, but I hope it isn’t. Perhaps now this will temporarily quell complaints about the performance of Macs in comparison to PCs. Only now will the full potential of AltiVec be realized.Īpple intends for these systems to be truly top-of-the-line. If so, the dual 2GHz PPC970 systems would outperform any PC system currently on the market, especially with a bus of sufficient bandwidth to properly utilize the AltiVec unit, something which Macs haven’t really had before.

800mhz dedicated to RAM would be outstanding, especially with 400mhz dedicate to only two sticks. That means that there is a minimum of 4 slots for RAM. The largest stick of RAM you will find today is 2gb. I’m most intersted in the dual channel idea. The current architectural rumours dictate a seperate chip for each processor which contains HyperTransport controller and memory controller, with the processors linked to each other and to the AGP/PCI/PCI-X busses using HyperTransport. Most sources have been reporting the system will use DDR400 RAM. It’s even possible that the ram will be dual channel 400, plus 200mhz for the PCI, etc. The RAM will not run at 1ghz, but more likely something in the area of 300, or maybe 400. I would imagine that their 1ghz fsb will be similar to Intel’s.
