The biggest improvement that can be done to these machines is add a 601 daughter card in the PDS slot. Apple and Daystar had these back in the day, but they have since disappeared…

I want to create a souped up beige G3 minitower. Anyone know where I can pick up a resonably priced one (any model as long as it's a Beige G3 minitower). Things I don't need: Hard …

Good luck finding one without RAM and without a hard drive. Essential system components usually come with those things.

you definitely do not want a rev1 beige G3 MT... get a rev2 or 3

Just buy a new system! Ok, say you buy a Beige 266/64Mb/6Gb for around $900+ just for a very rough estimate. You then probably want to upgrade the processor ( a few hundred dollar…

Very well said, MacNZ. There is a reason why Apple decided to update all their computers....How long has the "new" industrial design been around for now, 2 years? you can get (i ca…

You saw it on DealNN, or at least that's where i saw the same thing. Trevor

I've been lookin to upgrade my beige g3's processor some day, so, any suggestions out there? I've found this PowerLogix PowerForce G3 500mhz for 440$, considering buying it. Anyone…

you should look into the options at OWC for G3 ZIFs

Ok, the normal G3/4 debate. If you think the G4's Altivec enhancements will help you then go for that but otherwise go for a G3. The best value G3 upgrades out at the momeny seem …

does anyone have instructions on placing a light behind the apple on the front cover?

I believe this was a G3, not a G4, but it may help you in your quest to light up your apple. Good luck, and if it works, we wanna see pics of it http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/For…

Thats right. Last night I got an 8100/100&7200/120...for free. They are both pretty stripped (no HDs, CD-ROMS, Floppies, RAM). But, now comes the fun part. First I have a q…

Sorry to say, but the 7200 is a sad piece of work. (don't mean to offend any 7200 owners out there). I have two semi-stripped 7200's (no memory, but +cdrom and +HD), that I bought…

What a bummer! After wrote that post, I found out the dirt on the 7200. I think Ill go to a used computer store neer by and see if I can work a trade. At least the price was rig…

If either of you are considering selling the 7200s let me know (and put up the specs). I'd like to put together a cheap@$$ print/email/web/file server or possibly a server for Term…

the 7200's are solid machines from a stability and case design standpoint, although it is annoying that they can't be upgraded. LinuxPPC is compatable with all of the 7200 serie…

I know that upgrading the iMac is hard or darn near impossible, but almost every aspect of it has been able...such as the VD2...Processor, etc.... Since I have the 40GB Maxtor 720…

The ATA/33 controller is on the motherboard... unless you're an engineer and soldering genius you won't be able to do much with it.

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

Dammit... Cipher13 [This message has been edited by Cipher13 (edited 09-12-2000).]

Of course you can. Although, aren't 64's hot enough?

Figuratively, yes . Literally, no, they run cool-as. Cipher13
