The beige will take ZIF G3s and G4s up to 1GHz - expensive - but there are bargains for used pulls around 300-500MHz.

The iMac will only take a 266 or 300MHz iMac CPU board from another tray loader. However, there's other nifty stuff you can do to them, like adding ADB, a floppy, and Mac serial port.

Both machines will often overclock nicely; on the Beige it's just jumper swapping, on the iMac it involves soldering tiny surface-mount resistors.

Have fun and let us all know how you go.

So, I can add more Mhz?

I do remember seeing a Mac magazine that said you could add a floppy drive to the iMac.

Will I have to ground myself to do any of this? I remember seeing the guy at the Apple store do that before adding another 256 stick to my G5.

Is my iMac rev A or B, how can one tell?

Thank you Dr. Bunsen
