Rev. D iMac with G4 and 30 GB HD — #8

Found it. Thank's Ca$h. I think, however, that the whole soldering thing has me a bit phased. That and possible Voodoo 2/mezzanine incompatibility with OS X. But then again, I …

ATA/100 drive + iMac Rev.A — #2

It will most certainly work. You have to replace your current hard drive, of course, as there is only one drive bay inside the iMac. However, an ATA/100 hard drive is a dumb idea. …

Thanks for your advice, Kozmik. I will buy the drive right away. ------------------ "With technology in all corners, learning to unplug can be particularly difficult."

ATA/100 drive + iMac Rev.A — #4

The fact that the drive supports ATA-100 is pretty useless to an iMac owner, but that doesn't mean that you won't get a performance boost out of the drive. The iMac comes with a 54…

ATA/100 drive + iMac Rev.A — #7

Sorry but: There is currently ONE IDE drive that is worthy of an ATA-66 interface: the IBM Deskstar 75GXP. It's ALL OVER the web (see StorageReview.com and pay attention to IOME…

And I just bought a Quantum Lm for my rev.a w/Gwizard, because of its amazing seek and access times. Great for booting up and starting apps. Time is money. And the Deskstar is not …

I'm not going to put a G3 in an ATX case, Emunix, you crazy Canadian IRC-lover. It's much more diabolical than that. And don't ask me about it in #ev, either!

The "Yikes!" MB is not a real G4, its the same as a B/W G3 but it lacks an ADB port. (ZIF, PCI) Anyway a guy sold it to me. Now I'll have to make some use of it......

Video Card for PCI Powermac! — #2

Video Card for PCI Powermac! — #6

Ok, I think I'll just buy a cheap VooDoo3. I don't have the money for a VooDoo 5 and haven't heard that there will be a PCI Radeon. Besides I think my system won't run those cards …

Video Card for PCI Powermac! — #7

With the money you save from the Voodoo5 to Voodoo3 (I've seen Voodoo3 PCI cards going for �69), you could easily afford to buy a Formac TV card or similar.
