I picked this one up on eBay about a week ago. I was looking for a cheap G4, mainly so that I could install 10.4 onto my PowerBook G3 Lombard's hard disk, since I could not get the…

So... get thee an entry together. And load your super shotgun, you got some frags to rack up!

Shirley?

I overclocked my PB5300c 100Mhz to 117 - considering it's one of the slowest PPCs around, this makes it only slightly slower Click to expand... Slightly less slow, Shirley? At…

In addition to the display, I think it also had the 117 Mhz 603e from the 5300ce. I'd say that this was most likely what ended up being the PowerBook 1400, considering that the fir…

The site is up! This year we have a DOOM competition too! Roll Up - Roll Up!! http://www.retrochallenge.org

Heh - on a very dark, rainy day last week I overclocked my PB5300c 100Mhz to 117 - considering it's one of the slowest PPCs around, this makes it only slightly slower JB

Nice scores! Chances are the "two hard drives" are just one 40GB partitioned into 8GB + ~ 30GB to install OS X on the first 8GB partition. JB

I am going to be getting a Purple iMac G3, tray-loading. It has Mac OS 10.3.9, 333MHZ, 2 hard drives in it (that's what they told me, an 8GB and a 30GB), 256MB Ram. I will be che…

Not criticizing, just enquiring. I wondered if they had bumped up the CPU or something.

Apart from the LCD, what's "souped up"? Click to expand... Dunno, ask alk, my guess would be VRAM . . . :-/ . . . and maybe the LCD ASIC. Whatcha want, egg in your…

Apart from the LCD, what's "souped up"?

Mustang EVT PtotoBook I guess it's fitting that “my Eleanor” is the Mustang EVT, the prototype of a souped up 5300ce. I've had two run-ins with this machine of myth. The first tim…

Yes there was - it was briefly marketed as an upgrade for the Beige G3 (not slot compatible with AGP graphics G4s). I think it was pulled for power and/or reliability issues. You…

...but upgrading would require pulling money out of my MacBook savings!

Didn't there used to be a G4 daughterboard of some sort that could run 2 unbalanced G4 CPU's, i.e a 350 mhz and a 450 mhz. Always imagined that could be useful if you could find a…

I don't know, that was the way it came. What I think happened was the heat sink pulled away from the processor, so the processor with no cooling burnt itself out. The replacement I…

What a shame...

What the heck happened?
