No, they're the exact same daughtercard, remember? They had to reuse 233mhz Apple daughtercards because it has the ROM in it, and Apple wont legally let them reproduce it, so the…

Smalldog has PowerlogiX G3/500 Mhz upgrade for iMacs. Take a look! I am surprised @ how far these things can go!

I'm looking to install a new hard disk in my origional iMac. I have found the guide to install the 5400 RPM 40 GB Maxtor hard disk into my computer. The guide (on imac2day.com) s…

The "2nd Generation fanless iMac" refers to the 350 and the 400 DV models. All earlier units have fans. You were probably thinking of motherboard revisions: 233 (Bondi Blue) = Rev…

Thank you very much, heh, sorry about miss naming the thing too. Just wanted to make sure my Rev A iMac would be safe Alex

im gettin a free 8500 32megs of ram 2 gig hd. for now i am letting my mother use it to web surf. but when my imac dv has passed its prime, would it be worth upgrading the 8500? g5 …

I don't think you'll be able to upgrade an 8500 to a G5, when it is available. Even if you could, it would probably be a much wiser investment to get a new computer. Whereas a G5 m…

Mind you, you could upgrade the 8500 quite nicely as a G3. You could add a cheap G3 upgrade ($200) and add say 128 Mb Ram ($190), a Voodoo 3 ($60) and you'd have quite a reasonable…

would the g3 upgrade allow me to run osx at a reasonable speed?

Probably, it depends on what speed you get. ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% of the world uses WINDOWS! You don't like Macs? …

sorry. double post [This message has been edited by SpeedRacer (edited 08-28-2000).]

hey thanks for the informative response. i think ill just leave the 8500 the way it is. i love my imacdv to much to give it up anytime soon. for me the difference in specs between …

Yeah, but with the iMac DV, you don't get 45GB DiamondMax Plus 7200RPM ATA/100 (200 dollar hard drive for 8500) Ability to get larger monitor without crappy mirroring PCI Slots As…

quote '45GB DiamondMax Plus 7200RPM ATA/100 (200 dollar hard drive for 8500)' the 8500 is SCSI only, no IDE bus. So you'd have to spend another $100 on an ATA Card, which will take…

Forgive me for sounding stupid, but since I don't have an iMac, I really don't know the answer to this question. Doesn't the iMac's monitor connect to the computer using a standar…

Yeah, but wouldn't that be dumb?? iMac in case with 15" monitor wasting space and other monitor next to it. I suppose you could rack mount it! I've found some good deals on G3 upg…

Now rack-mounting the iMac sounds like a great idea.

G6 tower in 2003, don't you mean 700MHz G4 tower? They should be here by then right?? ------------------ I see dead people.

Good point.

hey y'all i'm kinda new here... used to belong a long time ago... forgot about the forum.... and couldn't remember username.... whatever..... I don't know if any of you have seem t…

Now that nobody is manufacturing devices for the Mezz, has everybody (apart from Ca$h) abandoned the various Mezz-Slot fantasies that floated around twelve months ago? Mine is stil…

its probably possible. If I were you, I'd go nab a mezzanine connector somewhere, a PCI slot, some ribbon cable, and ask someone to solder it together. It'd be prolly under fift…

I've been thinking about the same thing and this might work. Add the scsi card in the mezz slot. http://www.formac.com/usa/html/produ...er/iprotv.html Then add the Orangemicro SCS…
