I own a Sawtooth G4 350. I was wondering what the chances are that it is really a underclocked 400. I know that Apple moved their G4 line down 50 MHz because of a lack of 500 MHz p…

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.

Is it possible to overclock a Sonnet Crescendo G3, a Nubus Upgrade for the x100 PowerMacintosh Series, and if so, how do you do it? ------------------ People aren't as dumb as you…

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 just had a great idea. Outline my G4 with fiberoptic cable. (the kind that they use for pool lighting, it shoes color the whole length) Has anyone done this? Does any one know wh…

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

I have an old LC 475, but i want to upgrade it to make it so it actually is more usable, i know most of you would say it is a waste of time, but i still want to fix it up, so what …

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…

I want to create a souped up beige G3 minitower. Anyone know where I can pick up a resonably priced one (any model as long as it's a Beige G3 minitower). Things I don't need: Hard …

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

I've been lookin to upgrade my beige g3's processor some day, so, any suggestions out there? I've found this PowerLogix PowerForce G3 500mhz for 440$, considering buying it. Anyone…

you should look into the options at OWC for G3 ZIFs
