I've taken this off a couple times, it's pretty basic stuff. You can remove the front lower panel first, but i've found it easier to pull out the mobo/HD/CD tray and remove the low…

this discussion made me remeber, has anyone heard of talkin that metal sheilding off of the moniter board on the sides so it has a better look(in my opinion). I have always wanted …

Its RF shielding. Mine is coming off. I already got rid of the RF cage on my processor, so my heatsink works EXTRA good now. One thing...when I turn my volume MAX, I can he…

so i can take it off? and nothing will get all screwed up? i can barely tune in radio stations as it is with an antenna so like my little imac will tune them in. i lost that little…

There were rumors flying around a long time ago about Apple possibly contacting Transmeta for processors. Supposedly, it is not very difficult to have a PowerPC morphing unit on th…

Well, I guess that the Crusoe running PowerPC code is just a rumor right now (right?). Though, that Crusoe demonstration running x86 at the same speed but at just 1 W really turned…

It's not a performance wise chip though, it was meant to be for small appliances and laptops, a 600Mhz Crusoe can barely match the speed of a 450Mhz Celeron. ------------------ Pe…

I think this is a very viable possibility for an ultrathin business notebook or tablet from Apple.

Transmetta is going IPO...but that's beside the point. The chip was created to consume very little power while still offer "descent" performance. If the G3s go to .13 (IBM made of …

Stick it in the mac and fire up apple system profiler, that will be your ID...

if you put PC66 RAM in PC100 slot, it might fit, and in theory, should load, and everything will run slow (and PC66 might burn out)...The RAM chip itself might have ratings on it, …

I think you can get them at radio shack or you can get them at pc computer shows but if you want some I do have them (they worked for me. Email me if you want a couple homyak@ptd…

Thanks for the offer jeff.....but i'll try some radio shack and some other pc stores.....then i'll call you. Thanks for the offer. brock

If I'm not mistaken (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong), the rev A came with 2 MB VRAM with the possibility of 6. Adding the extra four would not, as far as I know, requi…

You're right. iMac rev As (bondi blue original ones) only came with 2 megs RAM. Mine is upgraded to 6. Not that it matters. That video card is pathetic. Get a gamewizard. …

I have a rev c and it has 8 i think maybe 6 i cant remember. does anyone kno where i can get a gamewizard

Unfortunately, you are in all likelihood, unable to use a GameWizard. The GameWizard, a Voodoo2 card, is a Mezzanine card; Rev Cs do not have the Mezzanine slot. A Mezzanine slot…

rev B-D, 6 megs vram, rage pro.

The extra vram won't run you much more then $20 to $30 and it's a snap to install. ------------------ Rocke "Why yes, I have brought our network down." Woelk Only the educated …

Yea I just have a few questions Will I get noticeably more preformance? Where does it install? How much should I get? How much can my iMac take?

Your iMac can take a maximum of 6 MB. You could get more, but it wouldn't know what to do with it. The installation is as easy as a regular RAM install, with the slot on the mobo…

It will make games more playable...but they wont be pretty. That graphics card really sucks. Ca$h

If you have 6 MB of vram, in 1024X768 you get 32 bit as opposed to only 16 bit with the original 2 MB. imac2day has a good step by step guide to upgrading the vram with pics htt…
