Well what happens is that os x tiger boots up to my usual desktop. I can tell there is a large increase in speed, so the processor seems to be working. The problem is only some of my applications work, and some don't. For example, spotify will always work, but tenfourfox never will. I also...

So I have once again tried to upgrade the processor in this machine. I got another sonnet upgrade but this time it was for a pretty good price and I had the option to return it so I was like why not. Anyways, I have tried to install the card many times but even though it boots up the mac...

Ok i guess I'll just return the upgrade card.

I put the original processor back in and it is working fine. I think you may be right about the upgrade card not making a secure connection with the logic board, bbut i think it is the card's fault, not the board's. Since the original card is working fine in the computer now that means the...

Ok i can get back into os 9 for a few minutes. But after a few minutes have passed the system freezes up and must be shut down. Then i must reapply pressure on the processor inside of the computer before it will allow me to boot back up again. This cycle just keeps continuing lol.

yeah ill try that asap and get back to you.

OK update. I let it sit for 15 minutes and came back to it. This time it booted right up into os x. The time after that it was back to its usually non-working self. So i'm still in need of some help. Thanks

Alright I just got the card today. I followed the instructions and removed the old processor after upgrading the firmware from os 9. The new processor at first would not chime. Then I applied a little more pressure pushing down on the heat sink in case there was a loose connection. After that...

So I just got my hands on a 1.4 ghz Sonnet G4 Upgrade card. I've been wanting one for awhile, but finally decided to make the purchase. I am installing it in my Powermac G4 Digital Audio. For those of you who have made a G4 (or really any similiar) upgrade before, are there any precautions or...

Would this item work with your driver? http://www.ebay.com/itm/3Com-3C562D-3C563D-Etherlink-III-LAN-Modem-Card-with-Cables-/121049450416?pt=US_Internal_Modem_Card&hash=item1c2f1c07b0 Thanks Mithrandir

Just what the subject says. I know it needs a type II or III card. I just wanted to know if there are any out there that are better than others. Also, I wouldn't have to have one of those 10 mb/s hubs in between in order to use ethernet with this machine would I? Once again thanks. =)

Yeah but there are like dozens and dozens of extensions... I tried COnflict Catcher but I couldn't quite understand how to use it.

well it has 7.5.3 right now but i have to boot it with extensions off just to get it to boot. I can boot from the network access floppy if needed tho

OK so I am trying to install mac os 7.5.3 onto my macintosh quadra 610. I have tried a cd that I burned but when I try to install the os using this cd my install somehow always gets corrupted one way or another. I thought instead I could try something over networking just in case that might...

Ok thank you I will try a reinstall.
