Does anyone know how a G4 upgrade card would fare in a rev. D iMac with a Maxtor 7200 rpm hard drive? I know there are not any heat issues with the new hard drive and the original…

it should be fine. search the forums for more info. I'm getting a 5200rpm HD though since they're cheaper. Ca$h

If you are going to use G4 performamce, buy the card. If you haven't bought the 7200RPM, don't buy it because it is said it creates too much heat. If you buy the card, please post…

I was debating the two. I'm not sure which would give me the better performance difference, a 7200 rpm HD or the G4 card. The card would obviously boost the speed a great deal, b…

Well, I haven't experienced the benefits of 7200RPM yet. I am perfectly happy with the performance of my 5400RPM 4GB HD, but the only thing that bugs me is that when it goes to sle…

Good points Godfather. I'm definitely going to invest in a 128 MB chip of RAM, boosting myself to 160 megs. As for the HD, I'll reconsider a 5400 rpm one since money is scarce. …

yeah, I do. But go search the forums and find out yourself. Ca$h

Found it. Thank's Ca$h. I think, however, that the whole soldering thing has me a bit phased. That and possible Voodoo 2/mezzanine incompatibility with OS X. But then again, I …

If you do successfully get a hd into your rev. D imac please drop me a line (via icq or e-mail). My imac is currently down because i tried 2 install a new drive... check it out

Hi, I've been checking out PCI video cards for my 7300 Powermac. I WANT a voodoo 5 but am struggling to raise the $330 and I want TV as an option too. I was looking therefore at th…

Other than Voodoo 3 cards, no PC video card will work in a Mac. That's why you can't just chuck an ATi All-In-Wonder card for PC in your Mac.

OK,so there's nothing I can do to modify it to work I take it!?

nope, unless you know how to write drivers from the hardware specs...*thinks to himself I might be able to do that in a few years...but that'll be quite a LONG wait* I think there…

maybe wait for a PCI radeon?

Ok, I think I'll just buy a cheap VooDoo3. I don't have the money for a VooDoo 5 and haven't heard that there will be a PCI Radeon. Besides I think my system won't run those cards …

With the money you save from the Voodoo5 to Voodoo3 (I've seen Voodoo3 PCI cards going for �69), you could easily afford to buy a Formac TV card or similar.

The Radeon was just announced last week at Macworld Expo. I don't recall the estimated ship date, though.

The Radeon will ship in both versions, AGP and PCI, and will cost $279. The AGP is expected to ship this September while the PCI will ship possibly late fall, not clear yet, ATI o…

Has anyone tried the ADB hack on a Rev B motherboard yet? The site I got the hack from (http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/~t-imai/imace2.html) said something about rev B not supporting it,…

This link ain't work! I can vaguely remember seeing the site before though and thinking about it. The Rev. A board is really similar to the Rev. B board apart from the changed grap…

Fixed the link. Sorry.

I recently tried to overclock my Yikes G4 from 400 MHz to 450 MHz by reconfiguring the white jumper block. Once in a while it'll attempt to boot up, but most of the time it goes in…

take it to 500! believe it or not a few people have more succes at 500 than at 450! If you don't think it will go, heres food for thought. I just clocked my sawtooth 350 to 450! -c…

How'd you OC a sawtooth? I thought that was impossible. ------------------ -Ruddigger ------------------ Have you had your gigaflop today?

It's done by switching resistors on the back of the cpu card. I did it by desoldering all the PLL resstors and soldering wire leads to the pads. Then I attatched 1/4 watt resistors…
