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…

Hello, I am curious. Is there any cd-rw or cd-r which can replace the atapi matshita cd-dvd-rom drive in an iMac slotloading machine. Or must I cut the Imac case? I also wouldn't…

Don't know about replacing the dvd drive, but there are people out there who just bought really long IDE/power extension cables and ran the ribbon out the side of their case (using…

This may not be helpful to you yet, but Toshiba has recently released a CDRW/DVD-ROM combo drive. Unfortunately, it's PC-only and not slot-loading. However, according to their we…

Hi, I knew of the existance of the cd-rw/dvd combo of toshiba. Appearantly Steve must have contacted toshiba to tell them about my idea I posted on the apple imac support pages, a…

Very impressive research! Gee, a slot-loading cdrw/dvd would be a great drive to put in all of Apple's desktop machines. I hope they do it.

thanks..... Now only hope and wait .. (but not to long)

Ok, so these Toshiba drives do in fact work on Macs? The thing is I can understand them working with the IDE/ATA interface on macs, its just the fact you'd need drivers to run the …
