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. …
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…

The extra vram won't run you much more then $20 to $30 and it's a snap to install.

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…
If you have 6 MB of vram, in 1024X768 you get 32 bit as opposed to only 16 bit with the original 2 MB.

If you wanted video mirroring, you should have gotten a PowerBook. The iBook isnt for heavy-hitting, process/or-munching people (or applications).

33Mhz OC should be no problem. The real trouble is ...... Newer manufactures the module........
Don't expect too much headroom for it.

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…
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:

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…
