Nope, I did not touch the Vcc for the chip. I havent had a single crash related to the cpu, just bad software and beta Voodoo 3 drivers. It's the types of crashes that normally occ…

You could "underclock" your L2 cache using a 3rd party utility like Xlr8's MACh speed control. But I wouldn't recommend you going above 450 for a few reasons. 1. Apple didn't ship…

After loading QuickTime Player 4, RealPlayer 7, and Shockwave 8, the Xclaim Video Player (XVP)will not open. I get a message saying that no ATI video hardware can be found. I have …

The only thing I can think of is to reinstall the video card's drivers.

Oops! I should have mentioned what I tried to do. First, I deleted the XVP Prefs and restarted. Second, I reinstalled *all* XVR software (which includes the drivers). Third, I deac…

I got the card back by taking the "drastic" step of removing the new software, and reinstalling QT 3. Voila! The XVP found the ATI hardware! I first removed RealPlayer, no effect. …

does anyone know if there is a definite conflict with Quicktime and acclaim VR? i've had QT 4.x since it came out, and i just installed an acclaim VR card. the apple system profile…

I've had two other people report problems on another board where I posted the same original information. It seems that it is a conflict between XVR and QT 4. I have yet to hear fro…

I saw an article and patch a while back on the Apple TIL page about ATi Xclaim VR cards and pre-G3 PCI macs. I can't remember the details but it was something about these PCI cards…

I put NetBSD on mine, and made it into a DHCP/DNS/Web server. Certainly a lot more stable running that way than it ever was with MacOS on it...

We all know how much Apple loves people monkeying around inside the coloured plastic, so: Do you think that OS X will break any CPU upgrades? Should one wait until the PB of OS X?…

Although I don't know the answer for sure, I wouldn't worry. Upgrade manufacturers have always found ways around Apple's setbacks. Look at the iMac upgrades. I'm sure someone else …

Quite a few upgrade makers already claim their cards are OS X compliant I think. Just check their sites and search about it. I think I saw Sonnet upgrades were and at least one oth…

I've *installed* the DP4 on an upgraded machine. Works fine, although probably not the same speed as the latest bus speed and speed of memory in the newer macs. It does work and i…

Thanks for your attention one and all!

Just curious. What logic would make you think that it would "BREAK" a cpu upgrade? Or even not work? I mean, a processor just calculates numbers from instructions.... if O…

That would be illogical..er...live long and prosper! ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you think. Wait, what was I thinking, 90% of the world uses WINDOWS! You don't …

Cash, you are a nuisance Certainly you have a lot of empirical knowledge about Macs but it is obvious you know little about computer engineering. I am holding off from buying t…
