HAHahAHAHahHAhAH! Silly boy! 3DfX's voodoo2 drivers ***** DO ***** work with the gamewizard! How do you think I play Quake 3?!?!?!?!?! Sheesh. Do more homework before you p…

Digikey Part Numbers PCI connector - 145168-4-ND Mezz connector - 71439-0164 or 71436-0164, whichever is a plug, not a socket The Godfather

That's what I thought too, until I was told otherwise. There are four files in the 3dfx Voodoo2 b5 set. Of those, 3dfx GlideLib2x is supposed to be the actual driver, which does …

Are we positive that the mezz with that part number is the mezz that fits the imac? r

Yep, another positive on V2 drivers working. So let me get this straight. i thought the VooDoo2 was a pass through card because it only provided 3D processing onboard and needed 2D…

NZ, What hack are you refering to? I was thinking of the feasibility of a PCI connector to a non�Microconversions card, ie., a V3 or 5. If the Microconversions driver (GameWizard…

Yeah, they are the last drivers that shipped before Microconversions went under. ------------------ Thou shalt go forth and spread the iWord. ------------------ imacman11@bigfoot.…

I was just thinking about overclocking my Sawtooth G4 400... Anyone got any ideas how far I should overclock my rev. 2.9 G4? From 400 to 450 seem safe? Obviously I can't go over 50…

Ain't it fast enough already Cipher?? Well you've already limited yourself to 500mhz so it's pretty much trial and error for your chip between those speeds. I have heard of a G4 cl…

heh, a computer can never be too fast . I would take it to 466, but the instructions I found only show how to make 350, 400, 450 or 500... If anyone knows of any decent instruction…

I've clocked my sawtooth 350 to 450. Below is a link with the procedure I used. http://webusers.warwick.net/~u1034376/web/ -corwin

Thanks - was it hard to do, soldering and all? I have experience with soldering surface mount chips, which are damn small - will that suffice for this job? Cipher13

To get to 466 you would have to change the data bus to either 66 or 133, and that is likely more work than just changing the processor multiplier. Has anyone changed the data bus s…

Thanks for that 'P'. I don't have a G4 so I wouldn't know............money for the poor??!

I think you can actually OC the G4s to beyond 500Mhz...as someone pees did on their Yikes and had no problems with it. The HD bug was somewhat obscure, but had to be addressed none…

This was the toughest mod I've done yet. You might blow the resisters by overheating them. I resolved that problem by using wire wrap soldered onto the resistor pads and then using…

What about overclocked a G4 500 to 550? I took a look at the motherboard and the processor isn't even ZIF anymore. Really bumbed me out.

Some managed to successfully OC their sawtooth to 550. The G4 CPU is on its own daughtercard, and is rumored that the pin-out for the daughtercard connectors of the single and the…

I once had a powerbook g3 300 boosted to 450mhz in my hands. It might seem extremely fast, but in fact is wasn't. the cache was too slow to keep up. The result were multiple crash…

oh yeah, the limit of an ibook 300mhz is 666 mhz

so wait. Question. I have a copper G3 running at 333mhz. Im going to O/C it, but should I go to 400, or 433? If I went to 433 would my 512 k of cache not be fast enough, and I'…

The cache speed is relative to the clock speed... the cache speed is defined by a ratio, not a specific figure, so if you have a 400 MHz Mac with a cache running at 200 MHz, and ov…

I know that part Misha, but Micha (misha, micha, whatever hehe) said that the cache was too slow to keep up with the chip, which CAN happen. Thats what makes some athlons so easy …

you can always underclock your cache to less than 2:1 speed if necessary to achieve stability...

Are you sure you can underclock the backside cache all the time? I mean, what about durring startup when the rom is loaded and before any SCRI extentions? I thought that the cache …
