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...

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 was reading to forums for info on the Game Wizard and adding a mezz slot to my rev. D's guts when I ran into a thread posted by Godfather. It stated that the mezz slot could be …

theoretically, its possible. I'm not quite sure on the details, but I'm working on it... .. anyone know where to get a REGULAR PCI slot?! I cant find one at www.digikey.com.…

Actually I don't think this will ever work. If the mez slot is a PCI slot then the iMac Gamewizard would just be a regular PCI card with a different connector. Then why don't 3dfx'…

I suppose that's true, but 3dfx's drivers probably don't work because the chipset may be that much off since Game Wizard was not made by them personally. I also have another quest…

HAHahAHAHahHAhAH! Silly boy! 3DfX's voodoo2 drivers ***** DO ***** work with the gamewizard! How do you think I play Quake 3?!?!?!?!?! Sheesh. Do more homework before you p…

Digikey Part Numbers PCI connector - 145168-4-ND Mezz connector - 71439-0164 or 71436-0164, whichever is a plug, not a socket The Godfather

That's what I thought too, until I was told otherwise. There are four files in the 3dfx Voodoo2 b5 set. Of those, 3dfx GlideLib2x is supposed to be the actual driver, which does …

Are we positive that the mezz with that part number is the mezz that fits the imac? r

Yep, another positive on V2 drivers working. So let me get this straight. i thought the VooDoo2 was a pass through card because it only provided 3D processing onboard and needed 2D…

NZ, What hack are you refering to? I was thinking of the feasibility of a PCI connector to a non�Microconversions card, ie., a V3 or 5. If the Microconversions driver (GameWizard…

Yeah, they are the last drivers that shipped before Microconversions went under. ------------------ Thou shalt go forth and spread the iWord. ------------------ imacman11@bigfoot.…

I was just thinking about overclocking my Sawtooth G4 400... Anyone got any ideas how far I should overclock my rev. 2.9 G4? From 400 to 450 seem safe? Obviously I can't go over 50…
