formac actually makes a card called the proformance 4 that will drive two monitors for one card. such a card is called a "dual head" graphics card. this is actually a very good gra…

I'm assuming you want to show two different images on the two monitors. If you only want the monitors to "mirror" each other, a $5 VGA splitter at any surplus store will work, as l…

BTW - please don't post to more than one forum. Very bad form.

First generation iMacs have 66MHz buses. Second generation iMacs have 100MHz buses (that's 50% faster). At least in iMacs, what does this exactly mean? Is this the speed at which…

fifty percentum? huh? new math?

Yeah, 100 is 50% higher than 66. Where am I wrong?

even the admin double posts! ^_^ To my understanding, general bus speed is the speed which your CPU talks to the RAM. the PCI and AGP slots have their own bus running at their own…

33 + 33 + 33 = 99 33 + 33 = 66 gee i dunno, looks like 100 is approx. 33 percentum more than 66... double-post? me? never! [This message has been edited by wlonh (edited 07-2…

50% more means this: x'=1.5x (1.5, since it's 50% more than 100%). Therefore: x'=1.5*66 and x'=100 Don't worry, most people don't understand this anyway.

33+33=66 33+33+(1/2)*(33+33)=99 thus the 50% increase. The calculation is done from the 66Mhz Mobo point of view, not the 100Mhz one btw, just out of curiosity, if a post is delet…

ok i am just plain stupid. explain to me again how 100MHz is 50 percentum more than 66MHz now if you mean it is 50% faster... well... good lord, i pay no attention to such trivi…

If I may: 33/66 = 1/2 so 33/66 = 50/100 so 100 is about 50% MORE than 66, since it is 34 more than 66. BUT, 66 is about 33% LESS than 100. It depends on your viewing angle... I we…

I am not sure of this, but the product of bus width (in bytes per cycle) and the frequency (in Hz) should be equal to the bandwidth. So: 64 bit bus = 8 byte bus 8 byte * 66MHz = …

yes, it is 66.66 mhz. And the 100mhz buses are actually 99.99mhz. But who cares!? The real question is, can we change the bus speed in our 1st gen iMacs. Ca$h

actually, in theory, it's 66.666.....repeat indefinitely, while 100Mhz buses should be exactly 100Mhz. Don't ask me why they use 100/3 multiples 'cuz I have no clue... and you can…

Does the bus OC have to be done with soldering or is there some sort of utility that can solve the problem for you, perhaps something similar to the Powerlogix backside cache utili…

I have PC-100 SODIMMs in my iMac Rev D (now rev B ). Could that explain the frequent freezes which only appeared after I installed the RAM? Is it possible the bus can't catch up …

Timmy, as far as I'm aware of, to OC the iMac mobo, you'll have to do it through hardware, and it's not just simple jumpers either...I haven't read anything on it from Xlr8yourmac,…

PC100 SDRAM has a clock speed of 125 mhz in order to insure that the bus isn't waiting it has to be faster, and a speed of 6-8 ns. The G4 uses Maxbus as I understand which takes …

I own a Sawtooth G4 350. I was wondering what the chances are that it is really a underclocked 400. I know that Apple moved their G4 line down 50 MHz because of a lack of 500 MHz p…

No, 350s were actually manufactured by Motorola intentionally.

I just finnished overclocking my sawtooth 350 to 450. It runs fine and is a revision 2.6 cpu.

Is it possible to overclock a Sonnet Crescendo G3, a Nubus Upgrade for the x100 PowerMacintosh Series, and if so, how do you do it? ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you…

I e-mailed some of the G3 upgrade companies sites to find out whether they use copper chips or not in certain models so you can overclock them better. Part 2 is to get some closeup…

I just had a great idea. Outline my G4 with fiberoptic cable. (the kind that they use for pool lighting, it shoes color the whole length) Has anyone done this? Does any one know wh…
