Looking to sell my power book g4. Its in great condition, newer battery. Has no scratches or dents. It has 256 internal ram plus a one gig card. 80 gig hard drive. It runs great and is super portable. It has Tiger( 10. something). How much you think its worth?
yeah, with only a quarter gig of ram and what seems to be a gig video memory its not close to whats the new standard of laptops. it sucks but old computers aint worth jack ___
sorry..you're wrong there..if i had money id take taras's macbook those macs last a long time..plus you can always edit a computer/mac to your choosing a gig of video memory is good enough to run most good games out there (minus crysis but what can run that at max?) and for memory? you can always add a stick Computers are like cars..you have the shell and the interts...rip em out replace em and they run better and sometimes even better than most cutting edge stuff you buy from stores
sorry just realized I forgot to say that it is a 12inch and it's got 1024 of ram. Aluminum case, will come with a soft bag too. You can not run windows on it becuase it's not intel processor it's a 1.6 PowerBook. Will run for ever. I am planning on getting a new macbook that is rumored to come out the middle of October.
thats pretty dece...even if its an old mac processor..oh btw the rumored one is coming out in october they are switching back to their own processor (its supposed to be a quadcore or equivalent) i guess im a little confused i suppose they want all their money going to them instead of intel haha
You're both wrong. The laptop has 1gb of ram, and then whatever onboard video the laptop came with, which IIRC, was the GeForce Go series of the Nvidia 4x family. Basically Nvidia's bargain basement vid card. (For reference, in 2000, I bought GeForce2Go boards for about 25 bucks a piece for workstations.) Typically, the Go boards had 16-32MB of video ram. You wont be playing any games on it. Especially since it is the PowerPC processor like Taras said. I don't know that you could run Windows on that. You might be able to, but I've never done it or heard of it being done. I imagine it would require some sort of emulator, and that would make it run horrificly slow.
windows just the intel based...iv created a few hackintosh's and vise verse so it wouldn't work on the powerPC processor and for future reference the specs weren't posted i was just going by his opinion...it CAN be edited and as for running games on it i know of ONE game you can play on it...OREGON TRAIL BABY YEAHH!!!!! :laugh:
He said it was a Powerbook. Powerbooks were all PowerPC based. And you could also play the original Prince of Persia. Which sucked. But you could play it.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10000969-37.html as quoted from the above link "AppleInsider reports that Apple could be using a chipset from a different company--or even an internally developed one--in the next iteration of the MacBook"
who cares what chipset they use it will still be x86 based, which means to will still work on the same standards the current one does. They'd have to be absolutely crazy to switch to the x86 standard then suddenly switch to something else only for notebooks in the future. It would be completely pointless. Reading mac future product rumors is also pointless.
