PC with a G4 daughtercard — #2

Well, using the AGP slot means you would have to use a PCI graphics card. Also, it would be better if Orange Micro just came out with an Athlon card for G4s.

PC with a G4 daughtercard — #3

Orange Micro makes K6-2/600 daughtercards and sells them for $1000. What would an Athlon cost? Plus, the G4 does not have enough puff in its power supply to feed the monstruous At…

Overclocking — #2

The only way I know of to OC your bus is to actually go in and remove resistors. This is very touchy because if you get it going too fast, your system will freeze or crash. If th…

Overclocking — #3

Beige G3 is jumpered, not using regular resistors, making it easy to OC, and almost everyone did such...on the other hand, the iMacs and the G4s are much harder to OC. Prior to th…

iMac Gamewizard question — #2

You're either trying to use 32 bit color or too high a resolution. The voodoo2 is VERY limited in what it can do. Keep it at 640X480.... its a good resolution for such a tiny …

ATA/66 in beige G3? — #2

What does the ROM have anything to do with having more ATA devices? The IDE controller is controlled by an entirely seperate controller... To my understanding, IDE generally comes …

The problem is that the rev. A ROM doesn't support master/slave configurations. (I suppose I just answered my own question.) As for my new HD, good point. I probably should have…

Just to clarify for some: the ROM in the Rev. A Beige G3 does not allow for master/slave configuration on the IDE Bus. Swapping it out with a Rev. B or Rev. C ROM will give you tha…

ATA/66 in beige G3? — #9

If I understand correctly, IDE is controlled by the CPU, so an ATA card won't get rid of that overhead...I'm not positive on that though, since I didn't do the ATA HD interface for…

B&W G3 handles ATA/100 or ATA/66 drives fine using Drive Setup 1.9.2. No need to use FWB (3.02 doesn't support OS 9 and 4.0 sounds buggy). Apple ships some current G4 configura…

ATA/66 drives doesn't mean it'll transfer files at such speed, only means that it supports such interface. Currently, the fastest IDE HD avilable is the IBM Deskstar75GXP, and that…

Okay. I think I've got this straight. After all this, the bottom line seems to be that the ROM upgrade would be the way to go, since the mobo can handle more than the drive is capa…

I don't see how you could fit a Raedon, Voodoo, or GeForce in a cube for a few reasons. 1) The Voodoos are way too big 2) The GeForce and Raedon both require fans or large heatsin…
