tdblanchard · Post by **tdblanchard** » Tue Aug 23, 2005 12:34 pm

so i found what seems to be a great deal.
••• G4 Dual 1.25GHZ Processor
••• 2GB of RAM
••• 120GB HardDrive Space
••• SuperDrive
plus a 22" ADC cinema display for $1800.
this is an upgrade from my titanium 550 which won't do dp4...at all!

am i missing anything??

That smokes! Put your OS on the ATA 66 bus and use the ATA 133 bus for audio.

The cage below the optical drives has a data cable for the hard drives. This is an independent ATA/66 bus. The cage underneath the PSU is the ATA/100 (or 133, I can't remember right now) connection. Running the OS on one bus and reading/writing project data off the other bus will give you more performance, since doing both on the same bus will bottle neck the bus.

i've been using a firewire til now.
pardon my lack of knowledge, but i don't quite follow what you're talking about.

Internal drives are much faster.

I use DP3... if you find that its "SOUND" goes to be better with DP4, you are a mistaken...

Where did you get that deal anyway? Maybe someone can help me with my question posted in this forum? I need to make a move tomorrow about this.

i got it from this guy on craigslist.
he's legit.
i have the cpu now and it's great, except i had to buy dp4.6 and am still waiting to get it in the mail.
my only issue is that it seems awfully loud....fans.
the guy has a couple of these set-ups. 22" cinema plus G4 dual 1.25 for $1800. not a bad deal at all.
i may want to sell the cpu and get a g5 just to hang on to the display!

There was a PSU replacement program by Apple. They replaced the PSUs beacuse of fan noise. I use one of the reject PSUs in my Phoenix Cube. Even with the replacement they are still louder than previous generation G4s.
