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,…

I have been doing a lot of reading into adding a Game Wizard to my rev. D and I still have a few questions about the whole situation. First, if I can, I want to avoid swapping mob…

You shouldn't notice any difference in graphics if you swap your mobo with a rev. B. Why? Because rev. B's have rage pro and 6MB VRAM, which is the same as your current rev d. Qu…

Right. Thanks. Does anyone know about OS X support, or anyone who is planning drivers or system level threads or whatever to get the Game Wizard to work with OS X? And that addi…

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

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. …
