I have a Western Digital hard drive connected via USB to my G4 tower,
don't know all the little names for the different machines, but it has
a 500mhz processor.  I am running Tiger with all of the updates
current.  I have the tower connected to my Belkin wireless router by

Just bought a 250GB drive that I want to install into my G4-700
Quicksilver tower.  I know that this machine cannot handle drives bigger
than 128GB and that it will need to be partitioned into two 125GB
drives.  I've read that Speedtools is what I would need to do this, but

I have a billion wireless router and I have setup a passphrase which

I"ve got a 12" iBook G3 (700Mhz) laptop.  Whenever I power the laptop, I
 can hear the gong but the screen is completly blank.  I can eject the
CD from the keyboard and it appears to work.  The laptop has not been
dropped.  A few days before this occured it was using the laptop ...

Recently got a G5 iMac with fitted AirPort, which is no use to me the
desktop.
Is it possible to remove the card and install it instead in my G4 iBook,
where it would be useful?

Hello everyone.  On the back of my Beige G3 there is a label indicating
the basic hardware as shipped.
PowerPC G3 300MHz / 1MG Cache  (etc)
Is there any such indicator on a B&W G3 about the processer speed?

I have a 512mb dimm and I'd like to know what kind of computer it's
for, but I have no idea how to figure that out.  What happened is: I
bought some RAM from MacZone and they sent me the wrong kind and then
