I installed an extra 4MB in my parents Bondi iMac so they can play Halo when it comes out. just kidding

If you wanted video mirroring, you should have gotten a PowerBook. The iBook isnt for heavy-hitting, process/or-munching people (or applications). It was never lacking. It never…

33Mhz OC should be no problem. The real trouble is ...... Newer manufactures the module........ Don't expect too much headroom for it. I once managed to get a 366 NewerZIF to run…

My 466 runs at a steady 123F. It's been on three weeks straight. The hottest I've seen it get was about 125.

I'd compare the arrangement of the little over-clocking resistors against their known configurations on non-newer daughtercards. If Newer's 466 arrangement is different from the pr…

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!

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

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.
