Any Mac users, in perticular PPC users? Share your mac conf.

#1 Post by i-SnipeZ » Fri Jul 17, 2009 2:16 am

Along with IBM/Lenovo, I think Apple is the only real respectable hardware vendor for computers. I have not bought a Intel machine due to price and stupid Intel and other integrated graphics solutions. So currently I have:

PowerBook G4 15" 1.67ghz, 2gb ram, 120gb 5400rpm hdd, ATi Mobility Radeon 9700 128mb, OS 10.5.6

:mrgreen: Wonderful machine on all accounts, its my toy machine for games and photoshop etc. The Lenovo is for school and work. (I work at a Mac outlet here in Denver)

I have a Powerbook G4 1.33ghz 15", 1gb ram, and a 60gb 5400rpm hdd.

Mutilated by the apple store three times (replacing the hdd, the screen, and the optical drive), a dead ram slot (and it doesn't fall within the 4 month window apple where apple would replace the mainboard), and now the battery isn't charging.

Not too useful to me anymore :(

If I were able to afford a Mac the ones I could afford have integrated graphics. Sure its not GMA's anymore, but while the 9400m is a step up, it still sucks. Plus I absolutely hate unibody Macs. So ugly looking in my eyes for some reason.

That's basically what I'm running right now.

Because Apple constantly updates its software, this computer has been running slower and slower and slower over time. I'd probably be ok with more RAM, but I'm already maxed out.

I'd be happy to take it off your hands!
