Apple DVD Player 2.x requiers ATI Rage 128 to work. Even if you replace CD-ROM with a DVD-ROM, I don't think you can watch DVD Maybe with QT5 that support Mpeg2 decoding this will…

maybe if u run linux ppc, replace cd-rom with dvd-rom, and download DeCss (2600.com has a list of links to download the source) and compile it for mac then maybe u'll be able to

I know this has been touched on before, but the info out there is conflicting, so I wanted to start a new topic to address it directly: I have an iMac DV (grape), and I want to re…

The new slot-loading iMacs actually run cooler than the previous models with fans. I know someone with a DV SE and it runs around 90-100 degrees F, which is very cool. I have a r…

Thanks for the response, Timmy. I checked out xlr8yourmac, but most of their stuff seems to be on the tower Power Macs rather than iMacs. And I saw this in Misha's how-to guide on …

OK, I went to the iMac forum archive and found a bunch of posts I somehow hadn't seen before. Despite the warnings about the increased heat, those who have put a 7200 in seem to ha…

Hi CaseCom- I hope this note finds you. I'm trying to help a friend w/ a iMac DV (G3) 500MHz who would like to upgrade his harddrive to one the new 7200 units that you can get fo…

I put a 120 Gig Western Digital in a iMac DV SE and had no trouble at all. Noticeably zippier and when I moved to a desktop, I moved the drive with me. I'm pretty sure 120 is the …

Hi Amacapart- Thanks for the advise. I'll go ahead and drop the new drive into my friend's DV. I really appreciate the help. And yes this string was a little old, but as evide…

I just bought a 7200 rpm 160G Maxtor drive for my wife's iMac DV 400. I did this before reading that it may have a 128G ceiling. What happens if i put this drive in? will it not…

Nope. Its 128GB. Next ceiling above that is something ludicrous like several exabytes or something. Can't be arsed to look it up or work it out.

Thanks to everyone for the responses..

There is a software fix now I think about it. Its called Speedtools. Wasn't cheap last time I looked though......

I've replaced the drives on three slot-loading iMacs recently with 7200rpm models, all to great effect. Temperature isn't an issue (modern 7200rpm drives run way cooler than the ol…

Has anyone tried the ADB hack on a Rev B motherboard yet? The site I got the hack from (http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/~t-imai/imace2.html) said something about rev B not supporting it,…

This link ain't work! I can vaguely remember seeing the site before though and thinking about it. The Rev. A board is really similar to the Rev. B board apart from the changed grap…

Fixed the link. Sorry.

I recently tried to overclock my Yikes G4 from 400 MHz to 450 MHz by reconfiguring the white jumper block. Once in a while it'll attempt to boot up, but most of the time it goes in…

take it to 500! believe it or not a few people have more succes at 500 than at 450! If you don't think it will go, heres food for thought. I just clocked my sawtooth 350 to 450! -c…

How'd you OC a sawtooth? I thought that was impossible. ------------------ -Ruddigger ------------------ Have you had your gigaflop today?
