I'm sure this will happen. At one time they were selling quad-processor upgrades for the older beige macs (back in the 604 era). Because the system supports multiple processors, …

The only things that are differnt between then dual G4 nd the old G4 is the gigabit eithernet chip sitting next to the processor board. I looked at my mobo, and there is actually p…

I swapped my dual's MP card into my single G4 machine it works with the Apple module. There is also the lack of the Internal firewire connector but you can solder it on the pins ar…

Check out the november issue of MacAddict, scrapbook (page 24) it seems the zif socket is gone and a new multipin socket is used. the cpu daughtercard is also screwed to the mother…

Yes, the single processor G4's can be upgraded to duals. Powerlogix, XLR8, and a couple other upgrade vendors have already announced Dual G4 upgrades. They will be available in Q…

also it looks as though this multipin connector is used in the new pismo powerbook. www.go2mac.com don't recall the exact url, soz

Okay, Trout, you were partly right in that they are targetting PCI Macs and ZIF-based Macs first, but the press release from Powerlogix states "Future PowerForce Dual models will s…

You got be kidding, the announcement was made at MWSF january 5th 2000. Last sentence of the pressrelease: Orders are being accepted for shipment in February at a suggested retai…

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…
