Re: Apple G4 CPU upgrade options [OT] Why?

I know this is off-topic. But why do you want to upgrade an old G4? These upgrade CPUs are so expensive nowerdays - at least, when compared to the present value of the older & slower G4s. The price for most of the CPU upgrades stayed almost the same over the years. When the 1.4 GHz OWC Mercury

Hi! I had this problem lately as I installed a 180 GB drive in my 733 MHz QS 2001. With a lot of help from this list I was able to activate the LBA-48 support by using a little script (though it could be done by hand easily). Just go there and read: http://4thcode.blogspot.com/2007/12/using-12

Re: Apple G4 CPU upgrade options [OT] Why?

I absolutely agree with this, plus if you buy a "new" machine you still have your old one to sell/donate/pass-on to somebody else. If you replace the processor, the old one just goes in the bin! Computer speed is not just about possessor clock speed but also bus speeds, ram, disk size limits e

To answer the question: I have a OWC Mercury Extreme 1.4 GHz CPU Upgrade in my "Gigabit Ethernet" G4 and it is running just fine. All you have to do is set the jumpers correctly. https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/ME41400L2D/ I'm not sure, but I think the Sonnet upgrades

Oh, I forgot - look at the prices and start crying... https://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=89&type=Processor&TI=4207&shoupgrds=Show+Upgrades Consider: these are *new* CPUs - used ones found on eBay will be cheaper. But not that much, am I right? Cheers, Andreas --~--~--

iMac G3 upgrade

Hi fellow mac enthusiasts! I recently purchesed a tangerine iMac G3 233mhz at a garage sale for $10. Seemed like a good deal even though there was no peripherals or CD's. The machine boots perfect and it's loaded with lots of kids programs and runs pretty fast considering. I just added 256MB RAM
