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 …

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.

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 work for a pool company and can get all I want wholesale... I don't think it would show through from the inside of the G4 case though. It would probably be better suited to an i…

How thick is it? Could you put it on the out side? The handles have grooves that could fit pretty thick stuff. How much does it cost?

DAMMIT! END THIS CONVERSATION NOW! ARGH! GO AWAY! IT WONT WORK AT ALL! THE CABLE IS ACTUALLY FLASHING LIKE A FLOURESCENT BULB< AND IT MAKES YOUR COMPTUER SCREWY! DO NO…

Maybe you got cheesy cable cash, it's not supposed to flash. And how did it make your computer screwy? Was this your secret hack? ------------------ -Ruddigger ------------------ …

It flashes, thats why it needs a small transformer... it WILL NOT WORK! Ca$h

Someone OC'd an LC 475 to over 125MHz... using a water cooling system.

Holy $hit! Now exactly how much would this water cooling system cost? ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% of the world uses W…

Just bringing up this old topic again. Does anyone know if the motherboard in the LC 475 can be replaced with a better one? ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think.…

an lc 475 is the top of the line for that case design. i think it's the same as a quadra 605. even if it wasn't, the performance couldn't be that different. dabradda

The biggest improvement that can be done to these machines is add a 601 daughter card in the PDS slot. Apple and Daystar had these back in the day, but they have since disappeared…

Good luck finding one without RAM and without a hard drive. Essential system components usually come with those things.

you definitely do not want a rev1 beige G3 MT... get a rev2 or 3

Just buy a new system! Ok, say you buy a Beige 266/64Mb/6Gb for around $900+ just for a very rough estimate. You then probably want to upgrade the processor ( a few hundred dollar…

Very well said, MacNZ. There is a reason why Apple decided to update all their computers....How long has the "new" industrial design been around for now, 2 years? you can get (i ca…

You saw it on DealNN, or at least that's where i saw the same thing. Trevor

you should look into the options at OWC for G3 ZIFs

Ok, the normal G3/4 debate. If you think the G4's Altivec enhancements will help you then go for that but otherwise go for a G3. The best value G3 upgrades out at the momeny seem …

I believe this was a G3, not a G4, but it may help you in your quest to light up your apple. Good luck, and if it works, we wanna see pics of it http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/For…
