Jimbeen Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 well upgrading the g3's motherboard, cpu and ram, proved to be a big failure... recovery disks fail for an obvious reason, so i installed vanilla winxp, and then the application software over teh top.. so far no luck.. biggest problem was that the quad serial pci card... was causing the entire system not to boot (so that proly means no receipts :| software wont start up... cause it isnt installing correctly.. Any one got any suggestions? Specs: Everything thats already in a g4 changed cpu to e5300 dual core motherboard to Foxconn g31mv added 2gb ddrII ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
