If you overclock, I am pretty sure you will need PC100 memory to run at 83mhz. And I checked my two G3's and they both have the 66mhz chips.

in gauge pro (in OS 9.2.2) shows my memory performance at 75mb/second - 78mb/second and that is with a G3 450mhz (OC to 466 cause of system bus) system bus is at stock 66mhz with 3…

the only way i can get OS X to install on my Beige G3 is by using the stock 24x cd drive. it boots instantly and installs flawlessly. if i use any other drive it wont boot or fails…

Matsushita is the worst for optical drives. They'll often have trouble reading perfect discs, or just crap out half-way through an install for no reason. Click to expand... Yes…

You're not using the original POS Matsushita-manufactured optical drive, are you? Try a different drive and see if that helps. Matsushita is the worst for optical drives. They'll …

Man, I gotta check my facts. 82.9 MHz? Yeah. Try 83.3. ;-) That sounds a bit like a corrupted CD. Rhapsody DR2, eh? I've got OS X Server 1.2, and it seems to work well on a…

alright, the jag CD I have is not working. It boots after 10 minutes, but all I get is a blue background with a moveable mouse pointer, and nothing else. So, I turned it in to an …

There may be some main bus <-> PCI bus timing issues that make running at 66 MHz more sensible. I'm no expert, but I would think it would be a simple question to ans…

I already have the spec sheet, Quadraman. I had to find it on an alternate website, however, as the links on Freescale transfer to Tundra Semiconductor (the now-owner of the PCI/me…

You can set the multiplier of the PCI bus independently, so you can change the timing when you change the bus clock. In fact, you can change the bus clock, PCI clock, and CPU mult…

My G3MT runs on an 83MHz bus, and yes, the processor is lightly overclocked as a result (416MHz instead of 400). I use a socket 7 heatsink with a little fan on it. My G3DT runs on …

If other people knew about it, there would be no point in me saying anything about it. The whole thing is simple, really: just look for the system controller - a small FCBGA microc…

If anybody is interested, I know some interesting tidbits of information concerning clock speed modifications on beige G3s (specifically, ID'ing components to determine whether or …

Oh yeah, let me get onto that.... Edit: Should be sorted now [] ]'>

The wiki doesn't seem to be fully back online yet. I got to an initial page, logged in, but when trying to return to the page got a Parser.php error.

Excuse me, yes, 83 MHz. Interestingly, this seems to have been a planned design feature of the G3s as even the Rev A Wallstreets had an 82.9 MHz bus on some models (the 292 MHz mo…

Some of the old ones are rated 83MHz, yes. Many of the people I talk to don't seem to know about that, so I thought I might mention it.

What do you mean? If you identify the spec on the MPC106 ("Grackle") chip, you can usually figure out what a good possibility is for overclocking the bus. The MPC106 came in 89 M…

The modem slot on a beige G3 isn't really a CSII slot, it's just CSII form factor. It is really a serial port. When you put the modem in the modem slot, the modem port stops work…

It's easier just to dig the jumpers out of the block with a pin, I found they came out quite easily. I was changing it to make it accept the B&W's CPU though, personally I …

The beige is easy to overclock. All you need is a jumper block from a faster machine and hope the CPU can handle it.

A 233Mhz G3 seems to be very slow for OSX to me. I would run OS 9.2.2 on it and dig out some old OS 9 Apps for it, the thing would fly. A little more RAM would probably be nice, al…
