actually, in theory, it's 66.666.....repeat indefinitely, while 100Mhz buses should be exactly 100Mhz. Don't ask me why they use 100/3 multiples 'cuz I have no clue... and you can…

Does the bus OC have to be done with soldering or is there some sort of utility that can solve the problem for you, perhaps something similar to the Powerlogix backside cache utili…

I have PC-100 SODIMMs in my iMac Rev D (now rev B ). Could that explain the frequent freezes which only appeared after I installed the RAM? Is it possible the bus can't catch up …

Timmy, as far as I'm aware of, to OC the iMac mobo, you'll have to do it through hardware, and it's not just simple jumpers either...I haven't read anything on it from Xlr8yourmac,…

PC100 SDRAM has a clock speed of 125 mhz in order to insure that the bus isn't waiting it has to be faster, and a speed of 6-8 ns. The G4 uses Maxbus as I understand which takes …

I have an old LC 475, but i want to upgrade it to make it so it actually is more usable, i know most of you would say it is a waste of time, but i still want to fix it up, so what …

Someone OC'd an LC 475 to over 125MHz... using a water cooling system.

Holy $hit! Now exactly how much would this water cooling system cost? ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% of the world uses W…

Just bringing up this old topic again. Does anyone know if the motherboard in the LC 475 can be replaced with a better one? ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think.…

an lc 475 is the top of the line for that case design. i think it's the same as a quadra 605. even if it wasn't, the performance couldn't be that different. dabradda

The biggest improvement that can be done to these machines is add a 601 daughter card in the PDS slot. Apple and Daystar had these back in the day, but they have since disappeared…

I want to create a souped up beige G3 minitower. Anyone know where I can pick up a resonably priced one (any model as long as it's a Beige G3 minitower). Things I don't need: Hard …

Good luck finding one without RAM and without a hard drive. Essential system components usually come with those things.

you definitely do not want a rev1 beige G3 MT... get a rev2 or 3

Just buy a new system! Ok, say you buy a Beige 266/64Mb/6Gb for around $900+ just for a very rough estimate. You then probably want to upgrade the processor ( a few hundred dollar…

Very well said, MacNZ. There is a reason why Apple decided to update all their computers....How long has the "new" industrial design been around for now, 2 years? you can get (i ca…

You saw it on DealNN, or at least that's where i saw the same thing. Trevor

I know that upgrading the iMac is hard or darn near impossible, but almost every aspect of it has been able...such as the VD2...Processor, etc.... Since I have the 40GB Maxtor 720…

The ATA/33 controller is on the motherboard... unless you're an engineer and soldering genius you won't be able to do much with it.

Ok, I just thought of this on the way home today. Can I overclock my nintendo or my super nintendo? I dont know why anyone would want to do this, but I do! It'd rule! I…

Of course you can overclock your Nintendo! The oldest, the simplest, the easier to tinker in. Look for the XTAL (the tiny oval tin can). There should be two identical ceramic di…

That is so cool! Does the above method apply with the 64 as well? How would I go about oc'ing a PSX? Cipher13

Of course you can. Although, aren't 64's hot enough?

Figuratively, yes . Literally, no, they run cool-as. Cipher13
