so wait. Question. I have a copper G3 running at 333mhz. Im going to O/C it, but should I go to 400, or 433? If I went to 433 would my 512 k of cache not be fast enough, and I'…

The cache speed is relative to the clock speed... the cache speed is defined by a ratio, not a specific figure, so if you have a 400 MHz Mac with a cache running at 200 MHz, and ov…

I know that part Misha, but Micha (misha, micha, whatever hehe) said that the cache was too slow to keep up with the chip, which CAN happen. Thats what makes some athlons so easy …

you can always underclock your cache to less than 2:1 speed if necessary to achieve stability...

Are you sure you can underclock the backside cache all the time? I mean, what about durring startup when the rom is loaded and before any SCRI extentions? I thought that the cache …

Good point...I was just thinking 'bout Xlr8's utility to OC your cache and SP...which I guess could be altered after ROM loading...but then, there's that debate 'bout how ROM is lo…

Hi! I've just tried to overclock my G4-400 (AGP, non-GB) to 500 MHz. At first it seemed stable, but trying to run a filter in Photoshop on a 60MB image finally made the machine cr…

The *$#@ing stupid soldered-on graphics card doesn't allow it.

The graphics card can hardly be held responsible for its permanent position on the board - call the designers *$#@ing stupid, not the card. Cipher13

You don't think a crappy card with only 8 megs of VRAM should be called *$#@ing stupid too?

Perhaps, but the VRAM is not the reason the res is locked. I think Apple has crippled the chip, but try a software called "SwitchRes" to see if there are other settings available. …

The video card isn't the problem, IIRC, it's the monitor. The monitor only supports 1024x768. Now, if you were to remove the monitor, and replace it witha another 15" capable of …

going higher than 1024*768 on a 15" monitor that's 14.1 viewable? I use 1280*1024 on my 19" and think that's a bit too small to read comfortably.

I'm wondering if I can use my Apple keyboard with the upcoming Playstation 2? The PSX2 has two USB ports. I'm hoping it will cut the cost of having to buy a specialized keyboard l…

um whats the point? the ps2 will not have any online games till sometime late in 2001.... ps2 blows, DC rocks!

i was reading an article on UT for PS2 and it said that the ps2 can use ANY USB keyboard and mouse.

Why would anyone want to play a game that required a keyboard and mouse on a game console? Isn't that what computers are for?

why would someone want to spend over a grand to just play UT? oh wait i guess thats what emachines are for!! i personally would rather UT or Q3 on mah g4, FPS games are usually t…

Yes, but if you have an Apple USB keyboard you obviously already own a semi-new computer that would be better for fps games (unless of course you have an iMac). Would you want to …

well usb keyboards been around for a while now, i dont consider them new by any means(remeber the original imac and g3s came with these well over a year and a half(maybe even 2 yea…

1) Remember the Sega Saturn and the NetLink? Well, instead of buying the Sega keyboard (which - just like the DC's Keyboard - was a PS/2 jobber with a Saturn connector on the end)…

i didnt think there was a modem in the ps2 standard. you must buy it... and good luck getting a ps2 any time soon

True, you must buy a modem or a broadband adaptor for the PS2. This doesn't affect me personally (I usually don't play online games), but I can see why Sega is pushing so hard for…
