I don't know. Maybe some game would conflict with it's drivers, which will also slow the whole system down. I heard that it would also restric mac os versions I can use. I need ful…

If I took a faster processor, it would have to be from 3rd party manufacturers, which I don't like very much and could lead me to incompatibility problems.

Also, if you want better speed, use 10.3.9, and stay away from 10.2, and 10.4

I only have Mac OS 9.2.2 and 8.6 installed. It's just what I need for now.
And…

one of the problems you could be having, is interfearance inside the CPU itself. If you get it too fast, you may be causing electricity to cause interfearance from the heat INSIDE…
Here's an idea. Settle in at 450mhz and stop pushing it to 500 before you fry it. Bumping a 400mhz chip to 500mhz is a 25% overclock, which is really pushing it with air cooling. Y…

That's an interesting and rare bit of kit.
I think the CF-IDE adapter you reference requires yet another adapter to work. You want to be sure that the IDE interface is specificall…

It'll work a treat, I've tried a couple of very generic looking ones with a Sandisk 1 and 2GB CF card which allow for booting, both on a PB3400 and 5300 (don't use it on that reall…
Hello guys,
So I have this Macintosh Freestyle Tablet (basically a PowerBook 5300). The problem is the hard drive overheated I believe and has been acting funky ever-since. Altern…

That is the Open Firmware boot selector..
It shows you the bootable volumes.
Clicking the circular arrow refreshes the menu choices indeed, f.e. because you put a CD in the drive…
Hi,
I posted earlier about the PowerBook G4 that gets stuck on the loading screen. I'm not sure what version the laptop is, but everymac.com said that some versions of the laptop…

Did you try just a K6-2 fan, or a K6-2 heat sink and fan?

Only the fan screwed to the original B&W rev.2 Heatsink.
If I get a heatpiped one, I'm afr…

It would take some sheet or metal bar work, but you might consider trying to mount some of the modern heat pipe equipped …
Hi,
As I told in other posts, I use a B&W G3 with G4 zif from Yikes! 400 at 450mhz (trying 500mhz still). I followed the voltage tweaking guide to achieve 500mhz by settin…

if you really want the best video card go for a flashed Radeon 9800 with 256MB VRAM or a flashed GeForce 7 series card.
the 9800 gets pretty hot compared to the geforce cards. so …
... But, what all are you wanting to do with it? If you just want it for "2d" stuff, then your 7500 is perfectly acceptable. If you want it for Core Image stuff, then a Radeon 96…
An ATI Radeon 9800 is, I believe, the best video card that was released for that Mac. There was an X800 released, but it requires the 8X AGP slot of the Power Mac G5, so won't wor…
