Could you back that up, please?

**Could you back that up, please?** Sure, the differences are in the way that the cache handles writes. When in Write-Back mode, the default setting, also called Copy-Back, anythi…

Ok, this is crazy. I want a PowerPC upgrade for my old Quadra 630 (and I do NOT want to buy a first-gen PowerMac, or replace the Quadra's motherboard). I can't find the old card fo…

I'm having the same problem, there is pretty much no hope for you unless you are willing to pay 750 bucks for one. (some dealer was overselling them for that much, the old daystar/…

Your best way to upgrade would be to get a motherboard replacement, go on eBay. ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% of the world…

Go on eBay, i just saw someone selling one, pretty hefty price though, but better than 750. ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% …

So IBM and Motorola designed the PPC for embedded applications, while Apple wants it for personal computing. What are the embedded applications the chip makers consider? I have hea…

who knows...my EE prof said that things are moving more towards the embedded market... Anyway, here's a thought...with more and more talks of home appliance going "online," anyone …

The G4 Cube could also be modified to toast bread on the side opposite to the DVD P.S. I had no idea you were on an EE program too, what year are you? I will be a senior this…

lol I stand corrected...G4 toaster! hmm...think of the endless possibilities with a G4 Microwave, with all that alti-vec to cook your food...nm... I'm a smorph (as they call it in…

I am looking to buy an Athlon(TM) powered BBQ grill. Congrats for your 1st year in real school.

I know that McLaren are using 4 PowerPC chips for their car control systems. I read that on TheRegister a while ago. The article also mentionned that the PowerPC was the only chip …

IIRC, one of the recent Mars missions used PPC chips for its onboard computing. And IBM manufactures AIX servers based on the chip. I know that NDSU in Fargo, ND has a few PPC 620…

Very interesting, very interesting. I have just read that those TiVo boxes can be hacked to run Linux on them. The HD can be upgraded, could the CPU be upgraded too? To bad that …

I don't know about you guys, but I would love to have this:

um, you can already do that with an Athlon 1Ghz if you replace the heat-sink 'n fan with the pizza!

A lot of assembly control systems run on PPC chips. I used to work at a factory that manufactured corrogated paper-making machines and all of the control systems were VME's, some …

I thought the PPC was developed for the Mac, and later used for embedded stuff Anyway, my DSL modem (they call it a gateway) has a 40 MHz PPC in it... and interestingly enough, …

I was reading to forums for info on the Game Wizard and adding a mezz slot to my rev. D's guts when I ran into a thread posted by Godfather. It stated that the mezz slot could be …

theoretically, its possible. I'm not quite sure on the details, but I'm working on it... .. anyone know where to get a REGULAR PCI slot?! I cant find one at www.digikey.com.…

Actually I don't think this will ever work. If the mez slot is a PCI slot then the iMac Gamewizard would just be a regular PCI card with a different connector. Then why don't 3dfx'…

I suppose that's true, but 3dfx's drivers probably don't work because the chipset may be that much off since Game Wizard was not made by them personally. I also have another quest…

HAHahAHAHahHAhAH! Silly boy! 3DfX's voodoo2 drivers ***** DO ***** work with the gamewizard! How do you think I play Quake 3?!?!?!?!?! Sheesh. Do more homework before you p…
