haha, nah. This is the most it will go to. As much as I would like to take it further, I understand that the limitation with most of the early G4 CPUs is a 50Mhz speed bump. I don…

Woohoo! she is now cruising at a beautiful 500Mhz!!! And it's damn stable too! I have been running a few CPU heavy tasks at once over the last 20 minutes and it's with nary a hiccu…

Should work just fine - but I wouldn't count on any of the claimed performance benefits for this particular pair of modules making any actual real-world difference - RAM overheatin…

As long as it's the lower density stuff with chips on both sides it should work. Sometimes high density works but I've never had great luck with it in those machines.

If you're comfortable with the soldering, 50Mhz x 2 will help. It's likely that's all you'll get - most early G4 CPUs you could only get another 50Mhz before it crapped out. JB

I have a dual 450Mhz Sawtooth with a Uni-North Rev. 7 and 1GB RAM. I am wondering that if I bumped it to 500Mhz or 550, would it matter? Would I see a performance increase? I wa…

Yeah, I would stick with Tiger on anything slower than a 1GHz G4 - and even then I'd prefer a DP G4, plenty of RAM, and a decent video card. M

For future reference, if your discs just keep ejecting rather than starting up, try disconnecting the keyboard. I was using a PC keyboard which kept ejecting the drive on boot for…

400mhz Power Mac G4 Gigabit Ethernet. Just had a logic board replacement and needs the operating system reinstalled. It won't boot from CD though. Disc in, every time it starts up…

Nice... I am a HUGE Evangelion fan and have posters all over my walls pertaining to the series. I am trying to track down the "The Rebuild of Evangelion" and think I found a copy …

While my formerly recycled PowerBook G4/500 is disassembled to JB Weld a broken hinge (it was easy to get the display apart, as most of the old adhesive had since lost its grip), I…

Have a Dual 800 pulled from a QS trying to get fully working 100% in a DA anyone have any other suggestions for getting the L3 cache to work/show up? I have done the 12v wire hook…

Ah, that would be my bad. You can hook one of the older Apple monitors up to that port I think, but don't quote me on that.

Just the VGA signal. I'm assuming you're talking about a tray load iMac. Click to expand... Why yes. Yes I am [] ]'>

Could anybody tell me how to use Mac-On-Mac. I can't really figure it out. It has very little documentation. Thanks

Is the display cable on the inside that connects to the hunk of iMac carry any electricity or just the VGA signal?

The 9 ROM needs the OS 9 extensions and libs... so you'll get Mac OS 9 in the end.

Well I did the opposite. I placed the Mac OS 9.0.1 ROM image in the 8.6 system folder. It actually booted up with the Mac OS 8.6 welcome screen. That was short lived however, it wa…

G4 Required. The ZIF upgrade will get the system over the line but Apple has removed the kernel extensions for Gossamer and Heathrow so you will still only see a kernel panic. You…

When it does fail, you can hook it up to another monitor, or put it's hard disc into a b/w g3 or similarly old G4 tower.

My Grape iMac's CRT fails? The screen is rather dim but clear, it was burn in a bit. And it sometimes shows up red, witch I know in LCD's that the backlight is going so something e…
