Stevo, Overclocking can be done by changing resistors on the processor board, or by changing some settings in the PRAM, I think. This needs good soldering skills or some tinkering deep inside the system software, and will give you a slight speed improvement at the cost of (maybe) more crashes.
To make a real difference, you would need to replace the processor by one from a faster model, or by a “processor upgrade”. This is easier, but it costs, and you’d need to know exactly which model of G4 PowerMac you have. For starters, you can look on the serial number sticker on the back; another good indicator is the position of the audio jacks: aligned vertically or horizontally, and above or below the USB and LAN connectors? Depending on your budget, you could also shop for a faster model: prices have really come down. > > > I have a Power Pc G4 400mb processor, 80gb harddrive, 1gb memory. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
