Anyone know where i could get the DualG4 Daughtercard/Heatsink/Gigabit ethernet-chip? where to buy parts for new Mac comps? Can it be tricked out of Apple? any info...

The best options are non-tradtional overclocking techniques, since Apple has neglected to give us traditional means (ie, jumpers). A list of things to use: 1. Thermal paste 2. La…

None of these will overclock your machine...or any machine. What the heck computer are you talking about anyway?> This is a stupid thread. Ca$h

Is it possible to modify the case of the old i-mac to allow for ventilation, thereby enabling one to get rid of that noisy fan (as with the new i-macs, if I'm not mistaken)??

Sure, take a drill and put holes all over the top and sides of the case..... Seriously though, I don't think so. Does anybody know if the guts of the new iMacs are arranged differ…

I am not sure exactly how but i know that the new "guts" of the iMacs are arranged quite differently to allow more efficient cooling without a fan than the originals. As for punchi…

Hey Markhers! BLOODY MURDER! BLOODY MURDER! LOOK AT THESE "HOOOORRRRIIIBBBLLLLEEEEEE" people! They're POSTING MESSAGES WITH CRIMINAL INTENT! They WANT to RUIN and CORRUPT thes…

Actually, I have a shirt that says "Harvard sucks, but Princeton swallows".

Apple went with new "short neck" CRT displays in the fanless models. I believe they use less energy, allowed the iMac logic board to be pushed further back in the case, and, coupl…

Regarding the deal at DealNN: Maxtor DiamondMax 30.0GB Hard Drive Kit Item No. 428385 Add this 3 1/2" EIDE hard drive to your computer and upgrade it for high performance. With …

EIDE = ATA Any questions?

yeah, I got one... I've yet to write assembly to control IDE ports/HDs...and wondering if ATA is a subset of IDE or what? else why would they just randomly create the "ATA interfac…

Thanks for the quick reply. Since you seem to be on the ball here I'll throw you another question: will Apple's software controller be able to run the Maxtor or will I have to buy …

Just use Drive Setup to format the hard drive when you get it. However, make sure you set it to "slave." Having two "masters" on an ATA chain is not pretty, trust me.

gelly, didn't you know computers are supposed to be confusing? That's why Apple came along... although we had a heck of a time repairing some severely fragged disks today. Crimin…

more less related question...does DMA stand for Direct Memory Access?

Probably.

The Maxtor 30 gig works like a charm, using it right now in my B&W tower,

If there is a difference, it's that ATA was the expansion designed to support removeable media (the one that did not was called ATdisk. Both of them came with the PC AT.). By the w…

Thanks for all your help. I did go ahead and buy, then install the drive. Works beautifully. The transfer rate between drives is jaw dropping and I haven't dropped a frame in FCP y…

We have an old Performa 575 laying around (33 MHz, 36 MB RAM, 250 MB HD, etc.) and were wondering if there was a way to upgrade it to a 601 or 603 PPC AND upgrade the HD to somewhe…

I haven't heard of any specific ones for this series of computer but there maybe some around somewhere. The thing is I don't think it would be very cost effective. Even around seco…

I did find some prices for an upgrade and it was outrageous!! $500 some odd dollars to take me to a 603 75 MHz! I think a rev B would be a much better choice. Thanks.

Or, just get an older powermac and upgrade it to a G3. ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% of the world uses WINDOWS! You don't…

Speaking of old computers... I have an old 636cd. Where could I go to find out what it would be worth if I sold it. It has 250MB HD, 16MB ram, 66mhz chip (I think), 15" screen,…
