What about overclocked a G4 500 to 550? I took a look at the motherboard and the processor isn't even ZIF anymore. Really bumbed me out.

Some managed to successfully OC their sawtooth to 550. The G4 CPU is on its own daughtercard, and is rumored that the pin-out for the daughtercard connectors of the single and the…

I once had a powerbook g3 300 boosted to 450mhz in my hands. It might seem extremely fast, but in fact is wasn't. the cache was too slow to keep up. The result were multiple crash…

oh yeah, the limit of an ibook 300mhz is 666 mhz

so wait. Question. I have a copper G3 running at 333mhz. Im going to O/C it, but should I go to 400, or 433? If I went to 433 would my 512 k of cache not be fast enough, and I'…

The cache speed is relative to the clock speed... the cache speed is defined by a ratio, not a specific figure, so if you have a 400 MHz Mac with a cache running at 200 MHz, and ov…

I know that part Misha, but Micha (misha, micha, whatever hehe) said that the cache was too slow to keep up with the chip, which CAN happen. Thats what makes some athlons so easy …

you can always underclock your cache to less than 2:1 speed if necessary to achieve stability...

Are you sure you can underclock the backside cache all the time? I mean, what about durring startup when the rom is loaded and before any SCRI extentions? I thought that the cache …

Good point...I was just thinking 'bout Xlr8's utility to OC your cache and SP...which I guess could be altered after ROM loading...but then, there's that debate 'bout how ROM is lo…

Hi! I've just tried to overclock my G4-400 (AGP, non-GB) to 500 MHz. At first it seemed stable, but trying to run a filter in Photoshop on a 60MB image finally made the machine cr…

Does anyone know how to disable the internal monitor on an iMac DV and drive the external one to something higher than 1024 x 768?

The *$#@ing stupid soldered-on graphics card doesn't allow it.

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.

ok i jsut got the 'official' sega KB and its no thing more than a pee-cee KB with a DC cord stuck in it, does anyone think they could wire up an apple KB? obviously its more than s…

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…
