And since this is a blog, Ill include some of the stuff Im doing on this machine every now and then. Happy New Year 2011 Its been a long, LONG time since I posted on this blog, which I almost totally forgot about. But before that happened, I had it running side-by-side right next to a cool iMac G3600 (2001) As for the fried 6100, it has since been recycled at a local e-waste recycling event for my neighborhood. The iMac G3. well, I got it off eBay for like 100, and it came loaded with OS 10.4.11, but not much else. Here are the specs: Mac OS X 10.4.11 Mac OS 9.2.2 (both for running in Classic mode and dual-booting) PPC G3 600MHz 1.0 GB RAM memory 60 GB HDD DVD-ROM (internal) White Apple Pro Keyboard Kensington 2-button mouse with scroll-wheel 10100 Ethernet (connected to a switch, connected to my router) I even loaded it with cool and useful software. ![]() ![]() Again, Happy New Year (and then, I disappear from Blogger for another 2 years). Since Spring 2000, my Compaq Presario 7AP140 has provided me with many, countless hours of Star Trek Elite Force, Justice League on YouTube, the occasional search for frivolous images (cough), and Napster (at least. Thats right, all because i neglected to ground myself by touching the metal part of the CPU case or power supply. So I put in the original video card (which worked) only long enough to find a suitable replacement. As it turned out, they stopped making video cards for AGP 2x4x systems a long. LONG time ago. So I opted for the AGP 8x cards, hoping they would work on my old system. For a while, it worked flawlessly. I loaded MPGs, WMVs, and even Quicktime movies. As they all seem to put a heavy strain on my AGP port, it fried the motherboard. So I waited a few days, pondering of whether to buy a new system with Windows Vista or get a custom-built PC with no OS, and then get a copy of XP Pro on it, just to play my beloved Elite Force game again. I took the route of settling for an HP Pavilion with Windows Vista Home Premium. Not all went bad. I mean, I realized that Id be running everything up-to-date, Id get to be ahead of the hackers (for the moment), and that I would be able to play computer games thatd be released at least for the next 2-3 years. AND MY STAR TREK ELITE FORCE GAME WORKS ON VISTA (32-bit; Home Premium) But the only thing though is that Vista is missing some crucial Windows Media Plugins for Firefox, I have to buy a new microphone to tune my guitar, and now Im having a really hard time doing graphics editing with this rather ridiculous LCD screen. Oh, also, the PowerMac emulator for Windows, SheepShaver doesnt seem to work on Vista. Intosh Performa 6115 Cd Upgrade To AHowever, I think I really should upgrade to a newer version of Dave, in case any bugs pop-up down the road. My verdict I actually like how the story turned out But dont get me wrong. Intosh Performa 6115 Cd Install Linux AndYou see, ever since I got Sonnets Crescendo G3NuBus upgrade for the Power Mac 6100, I have always wanted to install Linux and enjoy the benefit of being able to use more modern software. ANYTHING to squeeze out the most life I could get out of my Mac. EVEN if it means not using the Mac OS. Alas that it would be a dream to never come to fruition.
