500 MHz Upgrade� — #9

I wonder if there's a catch. The info at Small Dog says it's BTO. At the price the're asking, you might have to send in your daughtercard for them to modify.

500 MHz Upgrade� — #11

If they can manufature CPU daughtercards, then they surely are capable of designing G4 upgrades. I am not going to ask you "Don't you think so?" 'cause I am positive they can.

Hard choice. Newer: daughtercard of unknown origin, but you can forego the rebate to be safe. Powerlogix: Who knows what kind of problems might crop up. On the other hand, we ma…

500 MHz Upgrade� — #13

This is real breakthrough by PowerLogix. They didn't just replace the CPU, but designed a whole system board. Lets recall that Apple soldered two of the most expensive parts of the…

500 MHz Upgrade� — #14

500 MHz Upgrade� — #19

I wonder what Newer is going to do... no doubt cut prices. $450 for a 'used' 466 MHz plus the return hassle (and being billed $600 originally) or $500 for a new 500 MHz... pretty e…

G3 Won't Overclock — #2

Is there no setting for anything lower than 350mhz and higher than 300mhz? Try that... As for the processor itself, some processors have good yields while others do not. For exampl…

G3 Won't Overclock — #3

I don't think their are any settings for jumps inbetween 300 and 350. That and the increase in speed would be almost unnoticeable. I was going to try playing with the bus speeds a…

PC with a G4 daughtercard — #2

Well, using the AGP slot means you would have to use a PCI graphics card. Also, it would be better if Orange Micro just came out with an Athlon card for G4s.

PC with a G4 daughtercard — #3

Orange Micro makes K6-2/600 daughtercards and sells them for $1000. What would an Athlon cost? Plus, the G4 does not have enough puff in its power supply to feed the monstruous At…
