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:

um, you can already do that with an Athlon 1Ghz if you replace the heat-sink 'n fan with the pizza!

A lot of assembly control systems run on PPC chips. I used to work at a factory that manufactured corrogated paper-making machines and all of the control systems were VME's, some …

I thought the PPC was developed for the Mac, and later used for embedded stuff Anyway, my DSL modem (they call it a gateway) has a 40 MHz PPC in it... and interestingly enough, …

Has anyone put some cool leds on a G4 case to make the clear plastic portitons lite up?? How bout illuminating the big apple logo and even the smaller logo on the front?? -------…

It's been done many a-time.

I surfed around the board and I started to find more and more. DUH, didn't think to lok backwards... I do like the Red LED behind the front apple logo and have it hooked up to the…

Have you done that hack? If so please email me Or post here. I want to do it, but don't want to screw anything up - and don't know how to hook it up to the HD array. TIA Cipher1…

heh, I was hopeing hat someone else has, It shouldn't be that hard, all it is is just an led hooked to two wires and they attach to 2 pins on the array. I have an external drive ca…
