PowerLogix 1.1GHz upgrade only running at 650MHz — #9

Yes, after a little trial and error, I had mine at full speed for both OS 9 and OSX. If OWC doesn't solve the problem, I'll get my machine out of storage later this week and check…

PowerLogix 1.1GHz upgrade only running at 650MHz — #8

If you enable dynamic power management, doesn't that mean the CPU drops to half-speed when possible, as in idling while you look at a CPU speed screen? CPUD and other speed sensing…

PowerLogix 1.1GHz upgrade only running at 650MHz — #7

Okay I emailed OWC's tech support. In the meantime... Metronome indicates that my bus speed is indeed set to 100MHz. I double checked my jumpers and they are correct for that sett…

PowerLogix 1.1GHz upgrade only running at 650MHz — #5

Hmm, for some reason I'm getting no quote button at the bottom of messages. Anyway, if you're getting 650 MHz when set to a 11:1 ration, then the bus speed of your B&W mus…

PowerLogix 1.1GHz upgrade only running at 650MHz — #3

No dice. I moved the number one jumper to the number four position as shown here to no effect. Apple System Profiler and Metronome still report 650 MHz. TattleTech, interestingly, …

The $5 iPhone conquest — #6

Can 8500 do 8 — #10

You mean Mac OS 8? Sure. A 9600 can even still do 7.x, the last Power Mac that could. Click to expand... The 9600 requires 7.6.1. You can't even use a 7.6 install disc, it has …

Can 8500 do 8 — #9

My 8500 (RIP) did very well with 8.1, 8.6, and 9.1. Did badly with 8.5 and 9.0.4. I would probably recommend 8.6.

MacOS 9.1 vs Ubuntu 9.10 — #11
