1. Find your CPU on the following list to see how much wattage it requires. Divide the wattage by 12 to find out how much amperage it requires. I'd say OtheHill's "10A@12v for the board and processor" is a pretty fair estimate.http://ark.intel.com/products/famil...This Corsair 430W PSU is a forum favorRead more

    This Corsair 430W PSU is a forum favorite, I have 2 of them myself. You can’t beat it for $25 after rebate:

    “how do i connect to the internet with windows 98”

    How do you want to connect? Wireless or ethernet cable? If wireless, you’ll need an wireless adapter. Either a PCI card or USB adapter but make sure it supports Win98.

    You’ll also need a different browser. Try K-Meleon or Maxthon…IceDragon may also work. You can find them here: http://filehippo.com/software/inter…

    And you may have to disable the dial-up in Internet Options. Click the Connections tab & check the box for “”Never dial a connection”.

  4. OS 9 should always be installed on PPC machines that are capable of booting into it (pre 1ghz MDD macs). OS-X is a very fragile OS, it's UNIX after all, 1 corrupt file, or misplaced character is all it takes to cripple a UNIX box.

    OS 9 should always be installed on PPC machines that are capable of booting into it (pre 1ghz MDD macs). OS-X is a very fragile OS, it’s UNIX after all, 1 corrupt file, or misplaced character is all it takes to cripple a UNIX box. While OS 9 is not as fool proof as 7, or 8, it will still boot with bad extensions or control panels (it usually disables them), and you can rename almost any extension or control panel you like, it will still boot so long as System and Finder and their resources are in the system folder. Worse case, you hold the Shift key down and remove the corrupt file in OS 9 and reboot, with OS-X, good luck finding the bad file among the thousands of system files.

    Lesson learned, always have OS 8.6/9 as a fall back OS on PPC macs if you wish to run OS-X. And always have a known good bootable OS 8.6 or 9.X.X CD.

    When Cool & Quiet is enabled the CPU may throttle to a lower speed if there is no demand to run at full speed. This can cause the lags you describe.

    The temperatures will not spike because the CPU voltage is decreased. That is how the CPU is throttled. This is done to conserve power and keep the fan from running fast, if at all.

    This technology was designed for laptops where there is a finite amount of power available in the battery.

    Disable Cool & Quiet to stop any throttling.

    You can always use a generic XP installation disk to do a reinstall. You’d probably need to install some additional drivers but they should be available on the support page for that model.

    Or clean it up manually–uninstall any software you’ve added; do a Disk Cleanup (Programs–accessories–system tools–Disk Cleanup) and/or run Ccleaner:

    https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

    (the free version) Delete the contents of My Documents and any other folders that may contain personal information. Maybe run some malware scans with something like Malwarebytes:

    https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-do…

    (the free version. It’ll coax you to upgrade to the pay version. Just ignore that. But it’s OK to update the definition files when it warns you they’re outdated.)

  9. As long as both are Masters, they are correct, they are on different IDE ports, neither one is a slave to the other. No jumper probably sets it to Cable Select which means that which connector on the cable determines which is master on that cable (you have two cables). You just need to make sure botRead more

    As long as both are Masters, they are correct, they are on different IDE ports, neither one is a slave to the other. No jumper probably sets it to Cable Select which means that which connector on the cable determines which is master on that cable (you have two cables). You just need to make sure both devices are Bootable and that the CD ROM is listed in the boot order before the hard drive. You also probably need to “Hit any key to boot from CD” during the boot process (this may flash briefly along the bottom of the screen), just tap it repeatedly while starting up.
