    setting up a G4 Tower Quicksilver 933 MHz

    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...

    G4 Cube Internal Speaker Functionality Dilema

    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...

    setting up a G4 Tower Quicksilver 933 MHz

    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?

    setting up a G4 Tower Quicksilver 933 MHz

    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...

    6360 overclock/upgrade?

    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...

    6360 overclock/upgrade?

    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...

    6360 overclock/upgrade?

    ok, im going to order a 50mhz crystal to bump the bus. start there. then i have a G3 card that i need to figure out the clocks on. after that ill move onto the video card. in my G4 the 9200 tests pretty low in benchmarks for 2D BUT it handles 3D just fine. so i may try modding the extensions...

    6360 overclock/upgrade?

    has anyone on here heard of overclocking the bus on the 6360? also has anyone successfully gotten the 9200 radeon to fully function with a G3 upgrade card? i never made that work on mine.
