The graphics card can hardly be held responsible for its permanent position on the board - call the designers *$#@ing stupid, not the card. Cipher13

You don't think a crappy card with only 8 megs of VRAM should be called *$#@ing stupid too?

Perhaps, but the VRAM is not the reason the res is locked. I think Apple has crippled the chip, but try a software called "SwitchRes" to see if there are other settings available. …

The video card isn't the problem, IIRC, it's the monitor. The monitor only supports 1024x768. Now, if you were to remove the monitor, and replace it witha another 15" capable of …

going higher than 1024*768 on a 15" monitor that's 14.1 viewable? I use 1280*1024 on my 19" and think that's a bit too small to read comfortably.

I'm wondering if I can use my Apple keyboard with the upcoming Playstation 2? The PSX2 has two USB ports. I'm hoping it will cut the cost of having to buy a specialized keyboard l…

um whats the point? the ps2 will not have any online games till sometime late in 2001.... ps2 blows, DC rocks!

i was reading an article on UT for PS2 and it said that the ps2 can use ANY USB keyboard and mouse.

Why would anyone want to play a game that required a keyboard and mouse on a game console? Isn't that what computers are for?

why would someone want to spend over a grand to just play UT? oh wait i guess thats what emachines are for!! i personally would rather UT or Q3 on mah g4, FPS games are usually t…

Yes, but if you have an Apple USB keyboard you obviously already own a semi-new computer that would be better for fps games (unless of course you have an iMac). Would you want to …

well usb keyboards been around for a while now, i dont consider them new by any means(remeber the original imac and g3s came with these well over a year and a half(maybe even 2 yea…

1) Remember the Sega Saturn and the NetLink? Well, instead of buying the Sega keyboard (which - just like the DC's Keyboard - was a PS/2 jobber with a Saturn connector on the end)…

i didnt think there was a modem in the ps2 standard. you must buy it... and good luck getting a ps2 any time soon

True, you must buy a modem or a broadband adaptor for the PS2. This doesn't affect me personally (I usually don't play online games), but I can see why Sega is pushing so hard for…

I've seen instructions on how to OC Sawtooths and Mystics... really difficult though. OCing a dual-processor machine would be pretty cool, I think.

I heard on the mac show live awhile back that an upgrade manufacturer was gonna be coming out with a dual G4 upgrade. Dunno if this is truth or rumor though. -Ruddigger

I'm sure this will happen. At one time they were selling quad-processor upgrades for the older beige macs (back in the 604 era). Because the system supports multiple processors, …

The only things that are differnt between then dual G4 nd the old G4 is the gigabit eithernet chip sitting next to the processor board. I looked at my mobo, and there is actually p…

I swapped my dual's MP card into my single G4 machine it works with the Apple module. There is also the lack of the Internal firewire connector but you can solder it on the pins ar…

Check out the november issue of MacAddict, scrapbook (page 24) it seems the zif socket is gone and a new multipin socket is used. the cpu daughtercard is also screwed to the mother…

Yes, the single processor G4's can be upgraded to duals. Powerlogix, XLR8, and a couple other upgrade vendors have already announced Dual G4 upgrades. They will be available in Q…

also it looks as though this multipin connector is used in the new pismo powerbook. www.go2mac.com don't recall the exact url, soz
