I wouldn't think so, if it only runs at 105� F as a top temperature now. Just don't take the thing up past 500MHz would be my advice... I'm scared to do it on my iMac DV SE, as at …

If you do it yourself, the only thing I would suggest is being VERY careful. The resisters your are moving, are very fragile. A buddy of mine tried to overclock his iMac (bondi 2…

Great... that makes it even more simple! When I crush one resistor I get 500 MHz, when I crush two 550 MHz, When I crush them all I get a dizzling 1000 MHz ....

lol I guess it's hard to mistake a resistor for a capacitor...I know certain capacitors are used for timing purposes, and taking them out would increase speed. Just look at my OC'd…

What If i were to overclock it to 1 ghz, what would happen. Would my imac melt? Or would it not boot?What is the max speed you think I could overclock my DV SE without hurting it. …

Ok I am not saying that I have ever OC'ed a computer, but I don't think it would be wise to double the speed of a chip at a speed such as 500MHz. I think the safest speed bump you …

I tested my 400MHz DV @ 500MHz. It wasn't stable. Kinda disappointed because it was a copper one.

You have to remember, the higher clocked G3 chips are already near their limits, it's pretty rare to get an overclock from 500, but from 350 (if it is a copper), you are almost gua…

I overclocked a G3 400 to 500+ using a Applescript. It wasn't all that stable so I brought it back down. I just got some new fans an want to try to get it up to 550. I can't find t…

um.... I think you're referring to the L2 cache, cuz I've never heard of anyone software clocking the actual chip. Ca$h

You can't. Processor clockspeed is controlled by circuitry on the board.

Hmm.... I used a script, it did something the heat sink got hot as, well it got hot. I know a little about the L2. Thanks jeff

Liar.

No, I will find the script and post it later. jeff

I would _very_ much like to say that! I know you can overclock the cache and graphics chip, but the CPU?

So IBM and Motorola designed the PPC for embedded applications, while Apple wants it for personal computing. What are the embedded applications the chip makers consider? I have hea…

who knows...my EE prof said that things are moving more towards the embedded market... Anyway, here's a thought...with more and more talks of home appliance going "online," anyone …

The G4 Cube could also be modified to toast bread on the side opposite to the DVD P.S. I had no idea you were on an EE program too, what year are you? I will be a senior this…

lol I stand corrected...G4 toaster! hmm...think of the endless possibilities with a G4 Microwave, with all that alti-vec to cook your food...nm... I'm a smorph (as they call it in…

I am looking to buy an Athlon(TM) powered BBQ grill. Congrats for your 1st year in real school.

I know that McLaren are using 4 PowerPC chips for their car control systems. I read that on TheRegister a while ago. The article also mentionned that the PowerPC was the only chip …

IIRC, one of the recent Mars missions used PPC chips for its onboard computing. And IBM manufactures AIX servers based on the chip. I know that NDSU in Fargo, ND has a few PPC 620…

Very interesting, very interesting. I have just read that those TiVo boxes can be hacked to run Linux on them. The HD can be upgraded, could the CPU be upgraded too? To bad that …

I don't know about you guys, but I would love to have this:
