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 …

Quote: Originally posted by Misha: Bummer about your display... how big is the scratch? Is it very noticeable? It's about five inch. And very noticeable.

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...

I sped up my L2 cache on my iMac DV SE to 200MHz (2:1 ratio). SETI@Home depends heavily on the L2 cache. So why is it since I sped up the cache that SETI@Home units take longer tha…

well it doesn't, at least not on my Mac though it is not an iMac it is a G3 (466MHz/1M L2) i use xlr8's Mach Speed software to boost cache speed to 217.2MHz (that is what it report…

Is write through mode recommended or not for maximum throughput? I'm currently using it at 266 mhz [3:2] for the cache speed, backside cache is on, write through is off, speculati…

According to Powerlogix, write-through mode make certain devices compatible. What that means and what those devices are I don't know, but it just seems like a compatibility issue.…

For fastest proformance turn Write-through off. ------------------ -There are three types of people, those who can count, and those who can't.-

Could you back that up, please?

**Could you back that up, please?** Sure, the differences are in the way that the cache handles writes. When in Write-Back mode, the default setting, also called Copy-Back, anythi…

I saw a thread that indicated that if I purchase a "New in the box" machine from an auction site, it would not be eligible for the Apple warranty as it didn't come through an autho…

I overclocked a G3 400 to 500+ using a Applescript. It wasn't all that stable so I brought it back down. I just got some new fans an want to try to get it up to 550. I can't find t…

um.... I think you're referring to the L2 cache, cuz I've never heard of anyone software clocking the actual chip. Ca$h

You can't. Processor clockspeed is controlled by circuitry on the board.

Hmm.... I used a script, it did something the heat sink got hot as, well it got hot. I know a little about the L2. Thanks jeff

Liar.

No, I will find the script and post it later. jeff

I would _very_ much like to say that! I know you can overclock the cache and graphics chip, but the CPU?

Has anyone put some cool leds on a G4 case to make the clear plastic portitons lite up?? How bout illuminating the big apple logo and even the smaller logo on the front?? -------…

It's been done many a-time.
