Ain't it fast enough already Cipher?? Well you've already limited yourself to 500mhz so it's pretty much trial and error for your chip between those speeds. I have heard of a G4 cl…

heh, a computer can never be too fast . I would take it to 466, but the instructions I found only show how to make 350, 400, 450 or 500... If anyone knows of any decent instruction…

I've clocked my sawtooth 350 to 450. Below is a link with the procedure I used. http://webusers.warwick.net/~u1034376/web/ -corwin

Thanks - was it hard to do, soldering and all? I have experience with soldering surface mount chips, which are damn small - will that suffice for this job? Cipher13

To get to 466 you would have to change the data bus to either 66 or 133, and that is likely more work than just changing the processor multiplier. Has anyone changed the data bus s…

Thanks for that 'P'. I don't have a G4 so I wouldn't know............money for the poor??!

I think you can actually OC the G4s to beyond 500Mhz...as someone pees did on their Yikes and had no problems with it. The HD bug was somewhat obscure, but had to be addressed none…

This was the toughest mod I've done yet. You might blow the resisters by overheating them. I resolved that problem by using wire wrap soldered onto the resistor pads and then using…

What about overclocked a G4 500 to 550? I took a look at the motherboard and the processor isn't even ZIF anymore. Really bumbed me out.

Some managed to successfully OC their sawtooth to 550. The G4 CPU is on its own daughtercard, and is rumored that the pin-out for the daughtercard connectors of the single and the…

I once had a powerbook g3 300 boosted to 450mhz in my hands. It might seem extremely fast, but in fact is wasn't. the cache was too slow to keep up. The result were multiple crash…

oh yeah, the limit of an ibook 300mhz is 666 mhz

so wait. Question. I have a copper G3 running at 333mhz. Im going to O/C it, but should I go to 400, or 433? If I went to 433 would my 512 k of cache not be fast enough, and I'…

The cache speed is relative to the clock speed... the cache speed is defined by a ratio, not a specific figure, so if you have a 400 MHz Mac with a cache running at 200 MHz, and ov…

I know that part Misha, but Micha (misha, micha, whatever hehe) said that the cache was too slow to keep up with the chip, which CAN happen. Thats what makes some athlons so easy …

you can always underclock your cache to less than 2:1 speed if necessary to achieve stability...

Are you sure you can underclock the backside cache all the time? I mean, what about durring startup when the rom is loaded and before any SCRI extentions? I thought that the cache …

Good point...I was just thinking 'bout Xlr8's utility to OC your cache and SP...which I guess could be altered after ROM loading...but then, there's that debate 'bout how ROM is lo…

Hi! I've just tried to overclock my G4-400 (AGP, non-GB) to 500 MHz. At first it seemed stable, but trying to run a filter in Photoshop on a 60MB image finally made the machine cr…

Just wondering: is there any way to make the Mac continue to play through the speakers even with something in the audio out-plug? Software or hardware, anything goes. (What I real…

Just a small info: LinuxPPC does that by default

OK, so it's a software issue? I'll move the question then.

I don't really have any helpful advice, but I am also interested in a solution to this problem. I would like to put some satellite speakers in my bedroom but still be able to liste…

Just a little FYI to all those contemplating modifying their Rev C/D iMac by adding the missing mezzanine connectors of the Rev A/B iMacs. I just received my mezzanine connector …

Good info, thanks Racer! I don't get that of the female-female issue. I thought that the iMac MoBo had a female and the GW a male. In the Digikey catalog, they are referred to as …
