Thanks for providing the link, "rwm"... Some of the results were partially relevant. Doesn't change the fact that I was puzzled as to why the Gurus would remove a very 'glowing' review of the WD...

Sorry,
As I was not allowed to post my query in more relevant Tech Forums above, I will try to solicitate an educated reply from this one here...
Was I dreaming..? Wasn't there a reference to the...

Thanks, Mr. Boots...
Of course, those are informative websites. Very slow, however, despite my DSL.
May Ur boots keep on walkin'.

All this is fine, thank U, but rather academic...
I mean, will I upgrade to a faster system just because CS3 will not do quite as well on older Macs..? Certainly not. I may add another gig of Ram...

Just a benign update... For the heck of it I tried the very mouse again, first on a dark blue Belkin wrist pad, then on a black one. Works pretty good, hm..?

Could it be that there was a fix in...

Oops...

Correction: The Raptor, of course, is a 74 gb, running at 10k... Really helps to speed things up.

Well, Brent, there are many choices up to all kinda DP's...

I didn't go that far, though. If U have big bucks, U could. On a similar QS I have been running a 1.33MHz GigaBumb for almost 2 years...

Well, for a while, as an "average, typical, untrained user", I used to forward all incoming eBay-related phony messages to "spoof@ebay.com"... Until I got bloody fingers from doing so. Now I just...

A very belated conclusion (..?) to this somewhat minor issue...

After I posted that I would try to get help from the folks at YES, one of the few independent stores left selling & servicing Apple...

Well, U've applied 'memtest'. But perhaps, as Dr. TZ suggests, AHT really isn't all that thourough. If that was to be true in Ur particular case, one would have to consider that either the...

Hm... Since U seem to have done most everything else to find the source of Ur troubles, U might wanna get a clean or brand new HD and boot with Tiger.

That should do the trick.

Of course, Ricks, the Logitech is a good solution. I also have a Kensington 'expert mouse' on a wrist pad, hooked up to a QS, which works great for me.

But I keep saying to myself, if Apple can...

This question may have come up here, although I wasn't able to zoom in on the particular subject...

Recently got a dc DP 2gig G5 as a replacement for my 'Lemon MDD' from Apple. Unit works great....

Dr. TZ & the 'uncle' both have solid arguments... Not much to add.

However, from experience, once U've checked & cross-checked Ur RAM sticks, as the most likely culprit(s), and once U may come to...

Hm, when U talk about a 'firewire card', does that mean U're not connecting directly to Ur mobo via the 2 FW ports..?

When these go South, and they do sometimes, one can always install a PCI card....

Ok, Dr. TZ, sounds reasonable.

Once the Ram installed, I will get a hunch whether 2.5 gigs will or not be enough for my kinda works... Can always add some, if I feel the need.

Can U believe...

Hm, when U say "max out Ur Ram", what exactly do U mean..?

8 gigs, like Kaye..? What for?

My largest files, with layers, may approach 800mbs. Nothing that the MDD, when it was willing & able,...

"Workhorse", that's what I had in mind for my MDD...

It did good indeed, when it wasn't stalling, freezing or crashing. Why Apple wasn't able to get the FIX on that machine, more than once made...

U're quite on the money, Kaye...
OS 9 comes on a seperate disk, no version specified. I'm just about to install 10.4.4 on my new (replacement) G5. Not 9 yet, have that on 2 G4's anyhow. The G5 is a...

Hate to be a party spoiler, guys...

But as far as I know G5's don't run OS 9, any which way. Otherwise I'd have gotten one long time ago. Instead of a G4 MDD which turned out to be a...

Randy, Ur problem -I hate to let U know- stems most likely from a bad mobo or CPU. When I had similar trouble, it was the mobo... My recent (above) issue was quite different, since nothing happend...

In hindsight...

2 possible reasons which might have caused this particular incident...
One, I do move files between computers via portable FW/USB devices. But I always make sure they get...

Thanks, Dr. TZ... Cold & dry, indeed. Unit running now with full 1.5 Gigs of Ram, nice & quiet. PSU..? I doubt it, simply because this QS doesn't get heavy work to do. No PCI or SCSI cards. My most...

Wow..! What would we do without the GURUS..?

After my morning coffee, came right back to this here thread; encouraged...
Went to the 867MHz, pushed he power button once more, then got the juice...

Another "trouble in paradise"... A real puzzler.

Did some light work with a 867MHz QS this morning. Everything went well. Though the weakest of my units, always been reliable. Shut the unit off as...
