If you can't find a socket with clips, you can get something like Arctic Silver thermal adhesive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100005&cm_re=arc…

Considering how few of this year's two dozen entrants actually completed a project, it was surprisingly difficult to pick a top three – and that's only partially down to laziness a…

nb: 40MHz is not always stable though. A heatsink/fan for the 040 would be a good idea. Click to expand... I can confirm it - at 40 MHz heatsink is a must and you should use a…

Not without major, major modification. Do a google search for "Takky" or "Power Colour Classic". Definitely not for the faint of heart.

Can't you also put a 5200/6200 motherboard in those?

Don't try to pry one side out completely before the others. You'll bend some pins. You need to work around the CPU and try to pry all sides up a little at a time until it comes loo…

Lucky you, my verdict with that was the interface dying.

First things first, regardless of what you may hear from him, we don't hate him. There's no major vendetta against him, no conspiracy theories, or anything like that. Really, we wa…

I think it is a fair considering Mike has been contributing to 68mla for over 2 years. A summary of the decision would silence all rumors and questions regarding the situation and…

Ok I am fairly sure I am crossing a line here. I don't mean any disrespect, but I am going to cross it anyway. I've been apart of this community getting close to 10 years now. In …

never mind.........the someone changed the jumper setting to slave (I blame the computer gremlins) :lol: I can now breathe normally Click to expand... I LOVE your avatar! …

Oh, good catch. I didn't know that. I've upgraded my Color Classic to an LC 575. It's pretty darn sweet.

today i went to start up my powermac G4 and it didn't boot, so i zapped the pram and tried again...no dice. so took it out of my computer and put it in my B&W G3 and it did…

You're right, a 6200 needs OS 10.4.3 or later. If yours works like mine, OS9 will give you 256 colors at the native display resolution, no choice. I have a 6200 in my Cube, and it'…

I have a GF6200 256MB AGP in my Digital Audio. It will not work with my 10.4.0 disc (it is said that you need 10.4.3 IIRC) but works fine in the mid to later 10.4s and 10.5. In OS…

Yes, the G4 Cube is 2X AGP at 100 MHz. I tried a couple of times to flash a PCI 6200 card for my B&W with Sonnet G4 500MHz. Both times, the card worked in the PC, flashed n…

Yeah...basically, an LC/Performa 550 or 575 board will just slot straight in, and will allow you to use virtually any RAM or LC PDS cards you currently have fitted to the 520. The …

and a fairly decent understanding of electronics. Click to expand... Not this guy here. Thanks for the detailed/informative info because it really helps me. When i bought the L…

You can't use an LC580 board on an LC520 without performing some major major surgery - the LC520 (and LC550/575, and Colour Classic/Colour Classic II) use a different motherboard e…

Are you saying that i can install the LC580 board into my LC520 ?

If you find an LC 580, you can also watch TV on it.

yea thats a goldmine, too bad I am so far away

Woah.

Remember my post about 22 G3 iMacs? Turns out the seller has some older machines too. Besides the ones I've spoken for, they have: 3× 12" RGB monitor 1× LC Ⅲ 13× LC 580 3× 54…
