1. Swap. The onboard vid card is the same. Swap. Thats all I can say. its easy, its simple, its fun. 2. The 12 meg card is NOT an iMac card, its a PCI card for tower macs. …

I wouldn't count on OS X support for GW. Maybe in a some beta SW drivers, but i can't see support for anything interfacing with a slot that Apple never discussed being implemented …

It'll work. If it doesnt, someone will hack it. Keep in mind that 8.6 or 9 doesnt officially support it either. Heh. Ca$h

I'm not even sure we'll have support for PCI Voodoo2's. I haven't heard anything about it.

Quit worrying. it'd be stupid if ONLY new mac could run OSX. The mezz was never really supported on any current OS anyway, and it works. If it doesnt work, somebody WILL hack …

Good call, Ca$h. I do say that I have faith that someone will hack it. If not, I'll learn to program and do it if I have to.

Not directly hardware related, but it used to be. Now that the Open Firmware loads its settings from the MacOS ROM, is there any way to hack the ROM and disable the compatability …

You can get the Borg version of OS 8.6 to work if you didn't apply the 2.4 firmware update...Even if you did, Borg version of 8.6 will work to some extend...no clue 'bout FW hacks.…

Borg version?

8.6.1

Yes, I have applied the 2.4 firmware patch. In any event, where can I download the "Borg" version of 8.6?

You don't need the borg version anymore. any version of 8.6 that shipped with a slotless imac will also work with the G4 boxen. apple doesn't appear to want anyone to know this. …

Borg 8.6 is 8.6 with a ROM file that supports the iMacs or G4s. the ROM file actually differ in version with the iMac and G4s, for I own 2 iMacs and 1 G4... As to where you get th…

If you could email it to me, I would greatly apreciate it. olepigeon@yahooXXXXXX.com Remove the Xs obviously before you send. On another note, is there a way to do an "Unsuppo…

Try to use Tome Viewer (available from Apple web site) to open the tomes (installer files) and install the components you want.

So, NewerTech has demonstrated that the G4 chip is pin compatible with the G3. That leads me to believe that if they wanted they could offer G4 upgrades for iBooks. Only bad thing …

Is it pin compatible? I though the daughterboard for the G4 upgrade was re-engineered. Or am I missing somthing?

I was under the impression that the pins on the G4 and the G3 were completely different, meaning Newer Tech had to redesign the whole board. Their website, however, does not hint …

I don't see why not, I would jump at the chance to get a radeon in my rev c imac g4

If I could have a G4 processor and a Radeon card on my iMac DV SE/400 I'd be ecstatic!

You'd also have an imac in goo form. Heat you know ------------------ -Ruddigger ------------------ Have you had your gigaflop today?

Fan, you know. ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% of the world uses WINDOWS! You don't like Macs? Good, more for me.

Liquid cooled peltier ya know. hehehehe.

Additional power supply, electricity bill you know.

All of you suck, you just do, you know. j/k
