Uhm... how the hell do you overclock bus speed? Anything over 100MHz most likely wouldn't be stable, if you can even do it... Were you talking about the L2 cache? Because that make…

You were right... Backside cashe @ 200mhz stable as a rock (3+ months) ------------------ DeathToWindows

Go to http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/~t-imai/imacde1.html for instructions on OCing the processor.

I know, I know...why?!?! But with the exception of modifying the backplane...it looks like the power supply connector lines up like the IIci/IIcx/Centris 650/Quadra 650 motherboard…

I want a new Graphic card for the excuse they have put in the iMac and all the Macs.I hate Ati.I have an iMac DV and I want to put a new graphic card.I know it's soldered on the mo…

For the iMac DV, there really is no way to change the graphics chipset. Sorry. Earlier iMacs (up to the 333MHz model) had some upgrade options, but the 2nd generation units (350, …

The new generation ("summer" iMacs) have a rage 128 pro in them, which is a step in the right direction. I saw the demo of both the voodoo 5 and the raedeon at the expo, and i'm re…

Yep, its amazing what just the graphic card can do to affect your computer buying, my dad was going to get an iMac, but then when i found out that you couldn't expand it, i told hi…

I accidentally made a huge scratch in my iMac's monitor. Anyone know if I can fix this short of replacing it?

Automobile window crack repair stuff? They manage to fix cracks, and you cannot see anything wrong afterwards.

did you cry ? because I would have.

How exactly did you make this huge scratch?

While trying to open my Mac. It must have been some sand on the couch that scratched it.

Hmm... don't know what to say. Removing scratches from glass is tricky because it's transparent. I know that you can rub toothpaste on plastic to remove scratches, so maybe that's …

Clarification: I was not referring to a repair service, I was thinking of those repair kits sold in auto supply stores. They include a tube or two of some clear epoxy stuff. You …

Another possibility: antique repair. With antiques the only authentic replacement parts are those cannibalized from another antique. Antique glasswork has to be repaired or lived…

You should be able to get it out with a auto glass scratch kit from Eastman's. Not sure if they have a website or not, but for 30 bucks you can get a bunch of buffing wheels (for …

If the "scratch" was from a (soft) metal object, its more likely that the scratch is actually just the metal ground onto the glass... If this is the case it can be removed by acids…

This may sound kinda stupid on my part, but are you able to get a new iMac under warranty?

I can sympathize with you. When I pulled my new iMac DVSE outta the box, my watch scratched the monitor slightly. The problem is that the glass has a coating on it - it's anti-gl…

Apparently there is no kit to fix scratches. I guess I'll have to learn to live with it, or have the monitor replaced. Oh well...

Something just struck me; in the Monitors and Sound control panel you can adjust geometry of the iMac's monitor. This used to done only with monitors that had an additional ADB con…
