local woman buys a $20 macbook pro early 2008 at a yard sale complete in box (and in good condition but the battery is absolutely shot) only to spend another $120 on a motherboard with a revised GPU from aliexpress
i know this could be a very divisive subject among a lot of vintage laptop enthusiasts as it takes away a good amount of the charm from a vintage laptop, but what do yall think of the idea of modern LCD replacements for vintage laptops, especially those whose screens have deteriorated or are just broken?
got a powermac 6400 off of ebay, can't wait for it to arrive. also getting a radeon 7000 to flash to a mac ROM and will transfer my g3 upgrade from my 6360 over. its gonna be a killer system 7 machine
i have a couple of pre-balled 1GHz 7455A chips and i'm thinking i want to get a 2002 eMac and a spare board, and swap one in. also i have a couple of dead G4 cards and the 2002 eMacs and iMac G4s have provisions for L3 cache. pretty sure you can tell what this girl is thinking about doing
has anyone tried to upgrade the L2 cache or the CPU on a sonnet crescendo L2 card? i have an old G4 7400 card sitting around, plus a crazy idea... but i guess i would only just be able to get 1MB of L2 from 512KB given my equipments capabilities...
did an onboard RAM upgrade on my IIsi not too long ago, swapped out the 128KB chips for 512KB chips and now my IIsi has 4MB of 70ns onboard memory. yes it will likely make it slower, but i felt like it, also i know i am not the first one to do this lol
So I own a IIsi now. Power supply is unsurprisingly dead, and I am also interested in overclocking. How far could one get with clock chipping on a IIsi? Anyone ever got to 30MHz before?
