yea they are nice systems. i have a 280Mhz G3 upgrade card in mine. i took the 6300cd case i have and i put a dual 1.7Ghz G4 quicksilver into it

yes you are correct. i did this when i was a kid back in the day with my X800 VIVO edition. thats the edition that had the yellow port. stands for video in/video out. the chips in this board were software disabled - same die as hte X850XTPE. this is the card i used in my G4 and it runs doom...

yea i put a quick silver in there. ill make a write up video some time this week

A rebuild on that performa. its got 1.5gb ram, 1.46ghz, and an 8500 radeon along side a 256gb dram ssd and blueray drive

a year in the making, lots of work. i could maybe squeeze a bit more out of it but for now... time to play some EV. or maybe halo...

wouldnt it be easier to just connect the rom chip to another computer via a flasher and dump it that way?

i do not own a 9000 but maybe i should buy one to try it out. i see some on ebay right now for 20 bucks

yea, i 3d modeled it roughly before i took the plunge making the front performa panel buttons work on the G4 board was a project: some work in layout: wiring in the new front speaker. dayton audio on a 50W class D amp in a ported fiberglass enclosure up front. custom power supply and...

just want to throw this out there - in my G4 performa build ive used a cheap class D 12v amp to peg off the headphone (line out) 3.5mm jack and amp a dayton audio speaker. you could use fiberglass to make a speaker enclosure in there and stick a small amp to it once you have that input. it...

just wanted to say that ive seen that on Nvidia cards as well. on mine it was a simple reball of the memory chips and they started working again. incase you still have yours - seems the solder joints break from heat cycles id guess?

i thought i would chime in with my QS - i have two of them now. got them a year ago and that was my first entry into this kind of mac. id had a performa as a kid but once windows 98 hit; i was a PC kid. so i have a 800mhz QS that came with an 8500 and 4 scsi drives. i havent used any...

ok, kool. im skimming ebay right now for g3 cpu's i may try swapping that 240mhz on the intergen for a 400mhz or so. we will see. im trying to find some 7455b cpu's for my qs right now. struggling.

ill give it a try next time i get it running. that 9200 only worked in my G4 with the DVI drivers. everything else locked up. im using quake 3 time demo to test. i think i have a 128 ssd in the 6360 i have not tried the different opengl versions, so that will be on my list. what happens is...

9.2.2

yea, i can see that. i wish i could get either the 7000 or 9200 working. right now im using the 9200 in a dual 1.3Ghz G4 with 150mhz bus. its a strong card on 10.5.9 and 9.2.2. it blows the AGP Geforce 2 out of the water. its nearly 75% the speed of a 8500 AGP radeon. which really surprised...
