I did the hack and now OS X KP's at startup.

I pulled a PCI radeon 7000 32mb out of a beige g3 to put in my sawtooth, it still would be better than the stock rage 128 pro AGP right?

I have the same question and for the same reasons, but mine is 400mhz.

Thanks for the link -- I guess what I'm really asking is: Can I put this http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-PowerMac-G4-Quicksilver-800-MHz-processor-HS_W0QQitemZ190244586323QQcmdZViewIte…

the main problem you have with a sawtooth and dual CPUs is that most of the boards don't support Dual CPUs. If you have a revision newer than Rev 3, you can do it. I am hoping th…

I'm possibly interested in upgrading the CPU in my Sawtooth (500mhz now). I don't want to buy one of the 3rd party upgrade cards -- I'd prefer to buy a stock CPU that was pulled w…

Finally I grabbed the PowerBook at HK$111. Pretty cheap as a parts machine. I tried to power it on but it appears the GLOD or Click of the Death. So I opened it and had a look an…

I have been reading about how you can use a Quicksilver CPU in a Digital Audio powermac, but it has to have a 12 Volt connection, anyone here know how to do that or know of a guide…

Thanks Finally I placed HK$111 (~US$15) and will get the mac this evening Hope it's easy to fix...

HK$99 to current exchange rates is AU$14.56, or US$12.67. I'd jump on it.

Hello all :b&w: I saw a dead PowerBook 2400 floating around a local auction website and starting price is just HK$99. The seller should be an experienced Mac collector and…

I still get annoyed that greeks invented the steam engine thousands of years ago and just used it for a toy, if they had figured out a way to make a motor out of it the industrial …

I could be wrong, but gunpowder was invented at a time China was unified and not fighting wars with their neighbors. Europe was busy fighting endless wars so they were busy looking…
