    I've seen it happening on the 1st, post office and the secret level.

    Duke Nukem 3D visual artifacts and Redneck Rampage crash

    Sorry, I actually meant both on my G3 and Sheepshaver... I've only seen it happening on the 4th episode. And the crash in Redneck Rampage occurs right on the 2nd level of the 1st episode.

    Duke Nukem 3D visual artifacts and Redneck Rampage crash

    Hi. Does anyone here know how to get rid of these? They're more likely to happen if the game resolution is set above 640x480. I tried running the games on different Mac OS (8.6 and 9.2.2), on Sheepshaver, with extensions off, with another videocard, installing available patches for them but...

    SCI (Sierra) games on G3/G4 systems

    Unfortunately that didn't fix the infinite loop problem, but I could play the games by setting my mac to a different date.

    SCI (Sierra) games on G3/G4 systems

    Thank you sooooooooooo much!!! this had actually something to do with the date because they were working when I had a dead battery.

    Best Solution for modded G4 zif cooling

    I may purchase another identical zif module than mine to see if it performs better, lets hope yes. Only this model guarantee the compatibility I need.

    Best Solution for modded G4 zif cooling

    I don't know. Maybe some game would conflict with it's drivers, which will also slow the whole system down. I heard that it would also restric mac os versions I can use. I need full support for Mac os 8.6. And its minimum is a powerpc 7410. For some older apps I need to throttle it down on the...

    Best Solution for modded G4 zif cooling

    I only have Mac OS 9.2.2 and 8.6 installed. It's just what I need for now. And when I jumped from 400 to 450mhz, I saw a huge difference indeed. I imagined if I took one step forward I would see the same difference. At least, the Quake loop I leave for stability testing showed a noticeable...

    Best Solution for modded G4 zif cooling

    But it never overheats. it freezes at 43°C only, while at 450 it would go beyond 60°C and stay operational. I will look for a copper heatsink, thanks.

    My iMac died :(

    Oh boy... another possible cause my overclock is failing... Hyundai RAM. Testing now with the pc133 and the toshiba pc100 chips (total 512mb), running for 1:30 hours. No problems so far. Edit: Dang! too soon.

    Could PSU be the source of the problems? the computer freezes at 43°C when running at 500mhz.

    Best Solution for modded G4 zif cooling

    Only the fan screwed to the original B&W rev.2 Heatsink. If I get a heatpiped one, I'm afraid the real problem would be closing the case :-/ . I have seen some of these and they are really huge. On later G4s that might not be a problem because the processor position changes to a larger...

    Best Solution for modded G4 zif cooling

    Hi, As I told in other posts, I use a B&W G3 with G4 zif from Yikes! 400 at 450mhz (trying 500mhz still). I followed the voltage tweaking guide to achieve 500mhz by setting the core voltage to 2.6v with no luck. After adding OCZ Freeze thermal compound, a K6-2 Fan on top and 2 smaller on...

    B&W G3 with 133mhz fsb

    Thanks for reminding me that page. It seems to be hard work. Since I'm using a voltage tweaked G4 zif module from a Yikes! on the B&W (running at 2.6v), I wanted to clock it between 450mhz and 500mhz (but maintaining the PCI BUS frequecies) because if I clock it to 500mhz, I get the famous...

    B&W G3 with 133mhz fsb

    Hi, I read somewhere that this is possible to do. I'd like to know if this is also possible without removing the resistor down the motherboard. Best Regards, Filipe

    Differences between the B&W and Yikes! Heatsink

    Not really, but they are way rare to find. This G4 400mhz zif I got on e-bay. I could not find one in the whole country. Even complete Yikes! are not found in here.

    Differences between the B&W and Yikes! Heatsink

    That's right! Sometimes I see some used Sawtooth with low prices, but it depends on the vendor and normally is out of town, so there's the high shipping cost and no OS 8.6 [:(] ]'> . Some people think because it's a mac that they can get 200% profit on it even if it's an obsolete model...
