This machine is by far my forever G5. I have had 2 in my 46 years, I kept the one I have now, same hardware as yours Chris. I bought the same card 4 years ago for $179. I haver run linux, macos, and even morphos. Great machines everybody! If you ever have a chance to snag one, dont hesitate!

22:49 Awesome G5-machine for MorphOS! Nice to see that Encore's demos work on the computer without any problems and additional actions. I use PowerBookG4 for development and test these demos, engine and game (work in progress). My goal was create framework (called engine) which use clean MorphOS without any additional software/libraries. Demos/games should work in multitasking, use 3D accelerator and always allow to switch between screen and window. Best regards, MDW/Encore

I had a pegasus II board running an earlier version of morph os on it, and really liked it. Sold it a good few years ago and wish I had hung onto it now, since newer PPC boards and macs are so much more expensive now. Same goes for the expanded A4000CR I had. I was getting a bit overrun with everything I had and needed to declutter though.

Interesting and entertaining. Regarding root canals, got my first last year and as long as there's plenty of pain killers, (drugs) it was totally fine. The tooth is still working fine too. So yeah, I'm not in search of more root canals but I think with a good mouth surgeon crew, sure, victory goes to modern medicine with us as benefactors. Now, universal health care ........ oh yeah, Mericka. I've watch a few videos that touch on Morph OS, and yeah, a great next step would be to get something called 'Any OS' and on the fly like Morph OS seems to be doing. I'm thinking of using the Ventoy or some Virtual boot box setup on an older win box I've got around here. Not necessarily switchable on the fly but better than getting locked up in one of the main eco-systems. 🔐I think it's referred to as lock-in. I'll watch as software like morph os develops. Thanks for the entertaining vids! Like the jokes and innuendos all over the place. :-)

ATI is unfriendly regarding their support. If it just needs a to be hacked, you can do it and share the MorphOS ATI driver with the world. Win-Win for everyone.

@pkf4124 2 месяца назад

@@guidomersmann9744 The card I was going to put in it is a pc card, you can hack the firmware to the Mac version, theres a fair few videos on RU-vid on how to do, it but basically you need an old PCI graphics card to see whats going on and the PCIX card you want to mod. Should work the same afterwards except no power over the video connector as in the genuine Mac compliant ones. Not a problem for me as I ditched my Formac screens years ago in favour of LED widescreens that were far better and a quarter of the price.

@davidmorris2234 2 месяца назад

There was a proof of concept of MorphOS for Intel CPU's shown years ago, but I don't know if work on that project was cancelled, or if it still continues. I haven't been keeping up with news on MorphOS for a few years. There are a few very talented developers who created and continue to work on MorphOS, but I don't know what the prospects for it's future are now.

@danielktdoranie 2 месяца назад

Kind of redundant to run MorphOS on a 64-bit G5 as it is a 32-bit operating system: it’s not going to take advantage of all the registers. Next, the maximum RAM MorphOS can “see” is 1.7GB so anything else is a waste (for MorphOS at least, Linux and Mac OS X will utilise it fine!) I run MorphOS on a PowerBook G4 15” Aluminium with a 256 GB SSD and 2 GB RAM.

"Not going to take advantage of all the registers" - of course it will. It's PowerPC, not x86_64, where you can't access half the CPU from 32bit code.

Why the title of best PowerMac G5? I have a 2.7GHz dual G5 model, and the last PowerPC model, which is the quad core 2.5GHz G5, which I would say both are better than the model you received. Mine need the coolant systems refurbished, with new "O'-rings", before I try to use them again, as I don't want to risk coolant failure and damage to the PSU's which were stupidly located at the bottom of the case.

@TLang-el6sk 2 месяца назад

Well, I wouldn't call the quad G5 better as there is a severe weekness: The watercooling. The maintenance free Apple watercooling system needs maintenance and I will bet there today there is not a single machine that still works correctly without having been serviced.
