    A1013? Advantages of having L3 cache

    Well, I’ve read about a number of folks online who have continued to use their powerbooks post L3 failure without much issue other than slower performance as the L2 loses the extra space to store instructions <— that is the benefit, support of the L1&2; more space to store cpu instruction sets...

    Power Macintosh G4 - 733

    Hah, silly me, I assumed this was a quicksilver. Somehow missed pic1. I see now it is a sawtooth. Cool find! That is one that I do not have in my collection.

    Power Macintosh G4 - 733

    Well who cares. They look great and that is what matters. I am starting to remodel my kitchen tomorrow and will end with new butcher block counter tops and a farm sink. The ones in there now are original to the house and it was built in 1977! :D Marching orders from the better half - ugly...

    Power Macintosh G4 - 733

    Wow Ive not seen a CPU heatsink cover like that before. Also, that's an odd shaped heatsink. Can you indulge me and get a pic of the heat sink? Always amazed at how many different iterations of things Apple went through - none of my QSs are 2002 production so is probably why. A zip drive and...

    Favorite music style when cooking and when eating/drinking?

    I was thinking about this the other day. Cooking - Metal (Megadeth or ACDC) or loud rock (like Jesu, Mogwai or Flu Fighters ). Anyone who has worked in a kitchen with a retail facing side understands what that customer push feels like and the need to be expedient. This helps get the kitchen...

    Retirement

    I have that conversation with myself all of the time. I stepped away from the cess pool that is fartbarf years ago and haven't looked back, but their market place is a legitimately useful and huge sales net, so it's sometimes hard to intentionally limit my ability to fish. Still, fartbarf and I...

    Best table wine value you've found recently?

    Absolutely. I've had some real pricey bottles over the years and they were fantastic but I absolutely love running into a good ~$10 table wine. Plenty of low dollar vinegar out there but those truly quality bottles are a great find when one discovers them (often bottles crafted for a $15-20 ring...

    Best table wine value you've found recently?

    Very nice. I will hunt one down. Speaking of Spanish wines, I do enjoy the spiciness of a good Tempranillo. Very good with some little snacky apps like a jamon serano charcuterie plate Bocadillos, bunuelos or fire blistered shishitos. Mmmmm

    Best table wine value you've found recently?

    This got me thinking about reds. Again, full transparency - while I do enjoy a balanced and rich, wet on the tongue beaujolais, or cotes du Rhone (Boreaux region is great in general) I'm not really much of a red drinker. I leave that to my wife who loves reds and milk chocolates. I do however...

    Best table wine value you've found recently?

    My wife loves to shop at Trader Jose's and this trip I tagged along. We spied a $10 value bottle of Portugese Vinho Verde. Full transparency - I love crisp but wet on the tongue, fruit forward but not sweet whites like Gewurtztraminer, Vinho Verde, sauvingnon Blanc, some roses etc. Anyhow, I...

    Attic dropped soffit air sealing

    Oof, home ownership is the ultimate money pit. I just got done knocking down a wall downstairs to open up my wife’s office. Ended up redoing window soffits, fix some house settling cracks, painting, new hardware, refin air duct in/outlets, new carpet, new lights, ran new cat5 &installed new...

    What is your favorite aspect of holiday cooking?

    Let's get this forum rolling. I'd guess favs would be the food (or eating it) right? Over the years I've cooked an absolute metric ton of holiday foods from turkeys, ducks, geese, hams, briskets and beef rib roasts, standing pork roasts to latkes, gravies, mashes, purees, veggies ten ways of...

    What are your vintage grail items?

    Oh you reminded me - I do have one bucket list item to add - a set of 30" cinema displays. Yeah baby :cool:

    Shipping a B&W G3, any advice?

    Hmm, that seems like overkill to me. As long as the tower is properly secured with a firm foam inside the interior box and wont move around, any flex incurred from clumsy LTL warehouse loaders bouncing/kicking/su-plexing your package around should be absorbed by the external box and its peanuts...

    Custom resolutions on PowerMac G3/G4 in OS X / 9

    Well, I think that unit came out really nicely. I like the look of "barn yard" builds. I think yours looks fantastic. The cedar grain top really makes it happen for me. They look like you reclaimed them right off an old tool shed and the white base comes off "white washed" and yeah, the whole...
