take it to 500! believe it or not a few people have more succes at 500 than at 450! If you don't think it will go, heres food for thought. I just clocked my sawtooth 350 to 450! -c…

How'd you OC a sawtooth? I thought that was impossible. ------------------ -Ruddigger ------------------ Have you had your gigaflop today?

It's done by switching resistors on the back of the cpu card. I did it by desoldering all the PLL resstors and soldering wire leads to the pads. Then I attatched 1/4 watt resistors…

Some time ago I mentioned my scratched iMac monitor. Appears that replacing it costs $430. That's almost the price of a second hand 17" inch Studio Display. What should I do? Find …

Why not buy one of the iMac rack-mount kits, then get that studio display? Peace

They're not as nice as the G3 cases, and they don't boast extra space for my HD.

First generation iMacs have 66MHz buses. Second generation iMacs have 100MHz buses (that's 50% faster). At least in iMacs, what does this exactly mean? Is this the speed at which…

fifty percentum? huh? new math?

Yeah, 100 is 50% higher than 66. Where am I wrong?

even the admin double posts! ^_^ To my understanding, general bus speed is the speed which your CPU talks to the RAM. the PCI and AGP slots have their own bus running at their own…

33 + 33 + 33 = 99 33 + 33 = 66 gee i dunno, looks like 100 is approx. 33 percentum more than 66... double-post? me? never! [This message has been edited by wlonh (edited 07-2…

50% more means this: x'=1.5x (1.5, since it's 50% more than 100%). Therefore: x'=1.5*66 and x'=100 Don't worry, most people don't understand this anyway.

33+33=66 33+33+(1/2)*(33+33)=99 thus the 50% increase. The calculation is done from the 66Mhz Mobo point of view, not the 100Mhz one btw, just out of curiosity, if a post is delet…

ok i am just plain stupid. explain to me again how 100MHz is 50 percentum more than 66MHz now if you mean it is 50% faster... well... good lord, i pay no attention to such trivi…

If I may: 33/66 = 1/2 so 33/66 = 50/100 so 100 is about 50% MORE than 66, since it is 34 more than 66. BUT, 66 is about 33% LESS than 100. It depends on your viewing angle... I we…

I am not sure of this, but the product of bus width (in bytes per cycle) and the frequency (in Hz) should be equal to the bandwidth. So: 64 bit bus = 8 byte bus 8 byte * 66MHz = …

yes, it is 66.66 mhz. And the 100mhz buses are actually 99.99mhz. But who cares!? The real question is, can we change the bus speed in our 1st gen iMacs. Ca$h

actually, in theory, it's 66.666.....repeat indefinitely, while 100Mhz buses should be exactly 100Mhz. Don't ask me why they use 100/3 multiples 'cuz I have no clue... and you can…

Does the bus OC have to be done with soldering or is there some sort of utility that can solve the problem for you, perhaps something similar to the Powerlogix backside cache utili…

I have PC-100 SODIMMs in my iMac Rev D (now rev B ). Could that explain the frequent freezes which only appeared after I installed the RAM? Is it possible the bus can't catch up …

Timmy, as far as I'm aware of, to OC the iMac mobo, you'll have to do it through hardware, and it's not just simple jumpers either...I haven't read anything on it from Xlr8yourmac,…

PC100 SDRAM has a clock speed of 125 mhz in order to insure that the bus isn't waiting it has to be faster, and a speed of 6-8 ns. The G4 uses Maxbus as I understand which takes …

Ok, I just thought of this on the way home today. Can I overclock my nintendo or my super nintendo? I dont know why anyone would want to do this, but I do! It'd rule! I…

Of course you can overclock your Nintendo! The oldest, the simplest, the easier to tinker in. Look for the XTAL (the tiny oval tin can). There should be two identical ceramic di…

That is so cool! Does the above method apply with the 64 as well? How would I go about oc'ing a PSX? Cipher13
