    Mac Pro 1,1 + HD5770 (bonus: HD7950 in 1,1 ... Power supply?

    Hi there, So here's the situation: I've got a Sapphire HD7950 that I pulled out of my MP 5,1. I intended to drop it into my older machine, a 1,1 running Snow Leopard that I use for media, but it seems the 7950 is just out of compatibility with the 1,1 tower - it runs, but I can only get 800x600...

    Fired up a 10 year old Mac Mini and was surprised

    My MacBook Pro is being repaired (because the battery needs replacing and it's glued in, making it very difficult to replace) and I had to dig an old Mac Mini out of the closet to continue working. The machine is from 2007 I believe, Core 2 Duo with 2GB or RAM, running Snow Leopard. It's been...

    So, one of the biggest issues to anyone who uses Leopard/Snow Leopard is Discord. Personally I can't go without it since I started using it in 2015. How do you guys run discord on your machines (assuming you use Discord)? Using the web app in Firefox ESR 45 is kinda slow on my early 2006 MBP...
