Please post the URL for the guidelines for disassembling your iMac.+ ------------------ ---- iMac DV SE Graphite 500 mhz G3, 512 mb, 75 gb

I've taken this off a couple times, it's pretty basic stuff. You can remove the front lower panel first, but i've found it easier to pull out the mobo/HD/CD tray and remove the low…

this discussion made me remeber, has anyone heard of talkin that metal sheilding off of the moniter board on the sides so it has a better look(in my opinion). I have always wanted …

Its RF shielding. Mine is coming off. I already got rid of the RF cage on my processor, so my heatsink works EXTRA good now. One thing...when I turn my volume MAX, I can he…

so i can take it off? and nothing will get all screwed up? i can barely tune in radio stations as it is with an antenna so like my little imac will tune them in. i lost that little…

I've just read the IEEE Spectrum last night and found something interesting for those who would like to see Apple ditching Motorola or even the whole Power PC CPU. From http://ww…

There were rumors flying around a long time ago about Apple possibly contacting Transmeta for processors. Supposedly, it is not very difficult to have a PowerPC morphing unit on th…

Well, I guess that the Crusoe running PowerPC code is just a rumor right now (right?). Though, that Crusoe demonstration running x86 at the same speed but at just 1 W really turned…

It's not a performance wise chip though, it was meant to be for small appliances and laptops, a 600Mhz Crusoe can barely match the speed of a 450Mhz Celeron. ------------------ Pe…

I think this is a very viable possibility for an ultrathin business notebook or tablet from Apple.

Transmetta is going IPO...but that's beside the point. The chip was created to consume very little power while still offer "descent" performance. If the G3s go to .13 (IBM made of …

A friend of mine has a couple of RAM chips lying around from some "cannibal" projects, some of which are from a Compaq that may have used PC100 memory chips. Now, I know these chip…

Stick it in the mac and fire up apple system profiler, that will be your ID...

if you put PC66 RAM in PC100 slot, it might fit, and in theory, should load, and everything will run slow (and PC66 might burn out)...The RAM chip itself might have ratings on it, …

How can I over clock the bus on the PM 5500 mother board if at all possible. I would like it to go up to 66 Mhz

Ok I have a G3/350 and i want to overclock it. If I overclock it to 400mhz I'm gonna need another little metal jacket to go in the jumper block. My question is, where can i buy o…

I think you can get them at radio shack or you can get them at pc computer shows but if you want some I do have them (they worked for me. Email me if you want a couple homyak@ptd…

Thanks for the offer jeff.....but i'll try some radio shack and some other pc stores.....then i'll call you. Thanks for the offer. brock

I was wondering if it is possible to get more video ram in an original iMac I read in another forum something about apple taking the video ram slot out, does that mean it can be do…

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. …

I have a rev c and it has 8 i think maybe 6 i cant remember. does anyone kno where i can 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…

rev B-D, 6 megs vram, rage pro.
