Moar RAMz plz

Whats the most RAM that the old mac's can take?

Well "Quicksilver" and "Digital Audio" Powermac G4's can take 1.5GB the rest can take 2GB (i've ignored the "Yikes!" PCI Gfx model).  Powermac G5's can take a lot more - my G5 Quad has got 8GB of ram but it can take up to 16GB iirc for example.

Thanks!
So G4 is limited to 2 gigs generally, and G5 is ..well, more than you'd ever need

Dual 1.8Ghz G4 processor
1.5GB RAM
80GB Hard Drive
DVDRW
ATI Radeon 9800

Cost - $100



For $100 I do not worry about warranty.

Why don't you use sys:utilities/grabber instead of your camera?

I agree 100 bucks isn't bad at all for a system. For me, its more a concern of reliability. Computer croaks, and valuable data is either lost or unavailable for a period of time.
 
Mac's tend to be pretty reliable, but I wouldn't entrust aging hardware to anything valuable. On a hobby basis, you are likely fine of course.

that's why I back my important data up onto vellum :lol:

Personally I prefer hemp rag paper, but its a matter of personal choice.

BTW - MorphOS only supports 1.5 GBs of memory so the extra memory on an MDD or G5 isn't useful.

And that is a nice machine Red.

Basically I would like to have a new HW, something like Pegasos 3 would be nice. But I know what reality is, how much would that cost.

So I'm very happy with USED Mac HW. It's a nice feeling that you can get it straight away for nearly nothing.

People might claim I faked it:hammer:

I can't believe that the person that sold you that didn't know that the processor card alone was worth at least two or three times what you paid for the whole system.

Broken down into components, I could sell that machine on Ebay for about $500.

I see, genuineness of a photo. Guess my 2003 discovered *evil bug* gains some credibility then again (dunno if it was fixed with some 2.x release now...):

He was no dummy, but was unaware of the MorphOS crowd's interest in the machine. Actually the computer sat on Craig's list for about a month before I looked and found it. Lucky me, it was still available.
