To get to 466 you would have to change the data bus to either 66 or 133, and that is likely more work than just changing the processor multiplier. Has anyone changed the data bus s…

Thanks for that 'P'. I don't have a G4 so I wouldn't know............money for the poor??!

I think you can actually OC the G4s to beyond 500Mhz...as someone pees did on their Yikes and had no problems with it. The HD bug was somewhat obscure, but had to be addressed none…

This was the toughest mod I've done yet. You might blow the resisters by overheating them. I resolved that problem by using wire wrap soldered onto the resistor pads and then using…

What about overclocked a G4 500 to 550? I took a look at the motherboard and the processor isn't even ZIF anymore. Really bumbed me out.

Some managed to successfully OC their sawtooth to 550. The G4 CPU is on its own daughtercard, and is rumored that the pin-out for the daughtercard connectors of the single and the…

I once had a powerbook g3 300 boosted to 450mhz in my hands. It might seem extremely fast, but in fact is wasn't. the cache was too slow to keep up. The result were multiple crash…

oh yeah, the limit of an ibook 300mhz is 666 mhz

so wait. Question. I have a copper G3 running at 333mhz. Im going to O/C it, but should I go to 400, or 433? If I went to 433 would my 512 k of cache not be fast enough, and I'…

The cache speed is relative to the clock speed... the cache speed is defined by a ratio, not a specific figure, so if you have a 400 MHz Mac with a cache running at 200 MHz, and ov…

I know that part Misha, but Micha (misha, micha, whatever hehe) said that the cache was too slow to keep up with the chip, which CAN happen. Thats what makes some athlons so easy …

you can always underclock your cache to less than 2:1 speed if necessary to achieve stability...

Are you sure you can underclock the backside cache all the time? I mean, what about durring startup when the rom is loaded and before any SCRI extentions? I thought that the cache …

Good point...I was just thinking 'bout Xlr8's utility to OC your cache and SP...which I guess could be altered after ROM loading...but then, there's that debate 'bout how ROM is lo…

Hi! I've just tried to overclock my G4-400 (AGP, non-GB) to 500 MHz. At first it seemed stable, but trying to run a filter in Photoshop on a 60MB image finally made the machine cr…

hi i wondered whether i'm able to install another EIDE drive into my G4? currently there's the standard DVD ROM drive in front, and below some space for a zip drive, according to …

if you'd look back a bit you'd find a thread here and in the g3/g4 forum relating to this. basicaly, you can either swap the dvd drive for whatever other kinda 5 1/2 drive you wan…

It has gotten worse since those mods were last discussed. If you want to put a 5.25 device where the Zip goes, you reportedly have to clip the heat sink a bit, as the G4 heat sink …

I want to install a iMac DV original slot in DVD in a B/W G3. Above the upper slot would be cool, but that means destroying the apple logo... Anyway, the problem is the 50-pin cabl…

If someone can locate a slot-loading CDRW, I will gladly hacksaw my G4 case to mount it. I think the plan would be to remove the cage bay for the Zip drive, cut the case opening t…

The mod won't work because the heatsink is going to get in the way! I just checked it with my system and the 3.5" bay just clears the heatsink. That is why apple cut down the fins …

I'm considering overclocking my G4 yikes 400 to 450 Mhz. Has someone did it? Is it too hazardous to overclock the yikes? thank you.

This may be of help.... http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/~t-imai/maine.html Also by overclocking your computer you will void any warrenty it has. jeff

Just wondering: is there any way to make the Mac continue to play through the speakers even with something in the audio out-plug? Software or hardware, anything goes. (What I real…

Just a small info: LinuxPPC does that by default
