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…

Digikey Part Numbers PCI connector - 145168-4-ND Mezz connector - 71439-0164 or 71436-0164, whichever is a plug, not a socket The Godfather

That's what I thought too, until I was told otherwise. There are four files in the 3dfx Voodoo2 b5 set. Of those, 3dfx GlideLib2x is supposed to be the actual driver, which does …

Are we positive that the mezz with that part number is the mezz that fits the imac? r

Yep, another positive on V2 drivers working. So let me get this straight. i thought the VooDoo2 was a pass through card because it only provided 3D processing onboard and needed 2D…

NZ, What hack are you refering to? I was thinking of the feasibility of a PCI connector to a non�Microconversions card, ie., a V3 or 5. If the Microconversions driver (GameWizard…

Yeah, they are the last drivers that shipped before Microconversions went under. ------------------ Thou shalt go forth and spread the iWord. ------------------ imacman11@bigfoot.…

I was just thinking about overclocking my Sawtooth G4 400... Anyone got any ideas how far I should overclock my rev. 2.9 G4? From 400 to 450 seem safe? Obviously I can't go over 50…

Ain't it fast enough already Cipher?? Well you've already limited yourself to 500mhz so it's pretty much trial and error for your chip between those speeds. I have heard of a G4 cl…

heh, a computer can never be too fast . I would take it to 466, but the instructions I found only show how to make 350, 400, 450 or 500... If anyone knows of any decent instruction…

I've clocked my sawtooth 350 to 450. Below is a link with the procedure I used. http://webusers.warwick.net/~u1034376/web/ -corwin

Thanks - was it hard to do, soldering and all? I have experience with soldering surface mount chips, which are damn small - will that suffice for this job? Cipher13
