I'm looking forward to getting out of school and finally having some time to pop my mac open for the first time, take a look inside, and install the new hard drive. I read some re…

I don't know about the earlier iMacs, but my DV model was a snap to swap the HD on. There are detailed instructions from iMac2Day's website which I followed, but I skipped everyth…

I'm not worried about the temperature, considering that I have a fan. I must admit, I've never completely installed a hard drive on my own before. I would assume that the master …

The master/slave arrangement works like this: There can be a maximum of 2 devices on one IDE ribon cable. New drives come with instructions on how to configure them to either mas…

It is possible to have two hard disks at the same time as the cd rom drive in Rev A-D iMacs because the original HD and CDROM are on different IDE busses. Each IDE bus can have two…

what about temporarily connecting a second hard drive - just to transfer the files - while the imac is disassembled? Is that a bad idea, considering that all of the parts would be…

What happened to www.imac2day.com? PLEASE HELP I just bought a hard drive today, expecting to do this. Last I checked this site was up, but it was a while back. It had the exa…

Wow... so funny that a full year after posting this thread, I get a reply in my email. Also funny that after all the advice I collected, I decided to forgo the process of putting …

Well i figured it would be safe to go to at least 400 MHz because of the iMac DV and iMac DV Se models. So you think i could go up to 450 MHz? Last but not least I told you I was n…

Hey Cal422, by all means take no offense by anything anyone here says to you. We all just post to eachother in good fun although some of us can BE REALLY RUDE!!!!.....at times....…

You didnt tell us what kind of computer you have, so we dont know WTF yer talking about. enlighten me, I'll see if I can help. Ca$h

Before you ask, theoretical max temperature (according to Motorola) is 180F, but I'd maybe start to worry at around 155F-165F. Stay Frosty!

Hey Cal, this is my advice. Ok, I am NOT trying to be rude, so dont get mad or anything, but right now you dont really know anything. Like.... at all... so here's what I would d…

Ok... does this chip run hot? Or is it cool? Im guessing it will have a copper core, and that it will run at least as hot as mine does now (140ish F)... Here's my question. An…

33Mhz OC should be no problem. The real trouble is ...... Newer manufactures the module........ Don't expect too much headroom for it. I once managed to get a 366 NewerZIF to run…

My 466 runs at a steady 123F. It's been on three weeks straight. The hottest I've seen it get was about 125.

I'd compare the arrangement of the little over-clocking resistors against their known configurations on non-newer daughtercards. If Newer's 466 arrangement is different from the pr…

No, they're the exact same daughtercard, remember? They had to reuse 233mhz Apple daughtercards because it has the ROM in it, and Apple wont legally let them reproduce it, so the…

Smalldog has PowerlogiX G3/500 Mhz upgrade for iMacs. Take a look! I am surprised @ how far these things can go!

Now that nobody is manufacturing devices for the Mezz, has everybody (apart from Ca$h) abandoned the various Mezz-Slot fantasies that floated around twelve months ago? Mine is stil…

its probably possible. If I were you, I'd go nab a mezzanine connector somewhere, a PCI slot, some ribbon cable, and ask someone to solder it together. It'd be prolly under fift…
