I'd compare the arrangement of the little over-clocking resistors against their known configurations on non-newer daughtercards. If Newer's 466 arrangement is different from the pr…
No, they're the exact same daughtercard, remember? They had to reuse 233mhz Apple daughtercards because it has the ROM in it, and Apple wont legally let them reproduce it, so the…
Dear MacNN.com Users,
Does anyone know of some good tweaks for a Performa 630CD. I would like this computer to go faster but i can't find any tricks for it. Please Help Me!

This site is for anybody with a Performa. Mostly 6300 and above ; but they will help anybody. I just checked it…
I overclocked my G4/350 Sawtooth to 450Mhz! Its a rev 2.6 cpu! I also made a web page detailing the procedure. http://webusers.warwick.net/~u1034376/web/
Has anybody else achieve…
I'm sure it's not hard to do, however, getting a 100Mhz speed bump, I'd imagine you are getting a few more crashes than you used to...maybe not, 'cuz I bought the 450 sawtooth. Wel…
Nope, I did not touch the Vcc for the chip. I havent had a single crash related to the cpu, just bad software and beta Voodoo 3 drivers. It's the types of crashes that normally occ…
You could "underclock" your L2 cache using a 3rd party utility like Xlr8's MACh speed control. But I wouldn't recommend you going above 450 for a few reasons.

We all know how much Apple loves people monkeying around inside the coloured plastic, so:
Do you think that OS X will break any CPU upgrades? Should one wait until the PB of OS X?…
Although I don't know the answer for sure, I wouldn't worry. Upgrade manufacturers have always found ways around Apple's setbacks. Look at the iMac upgrades. I'm sure someone else …
Quite a few upgrade makers already claim their cards are OS X compliant I think. Just check their sites and search about it. I think I saw Sonnet upgrades were and at least one oth…
I've *installed* the DP4 on an upgraded machine. Works fine, although probably not the same speed as the latest bus speed and speed of memory in the newer macs.
It does work and i…
Just curious. What logic would make you think that it would "BREAK" a cpu upgrade? Or even not work?
I mean, a processor just calculates numbers from instructions.... if O…
That would be illogical..er...live long and prosper!

Cash, you are a nuisance Certainly you have a lot of empirical knowledge about Macs but it is obvious you know little about computer engineering.

Godfather, you are a nuisance! Certainly you have a lot of empirical knowledge about Macs but it is obvious you know little about upgrade chips!

cash,
i think godfather is referring to the 'blue blocker' episode of about a year ago. a firmware update for the b&w g3 had the charming side-effect of preventing machines upg…
yeah, I know about that, but here's the thing. Those were upgraded CHIPS. iMacs use daughtercards, and since the aftermarket companies cant steal or modify apples boot ROM, then …
