Quadra 700 Appreciation - Stories - Got one?

[Microns]

Bought brand new for work.

First PC that I connected to the public web.

Nice look but stock CPU was too slow.

First computer that I de-soldered the four pin clock chip off the motherboard.

The replacement clock came from http://www.outputenablers.com and worked great!

how fast did you clock it up to?

 

[Microns]

If I recall correctly it went from stock 25 MHz to 30MHz with no stability problems but much beyond that and things got flakey.

Wish I still had my Q700. I think I sold it on eBay or gave it away, who knows now. Maybe someone here got it! Anyone receive a Q700 in 2002-2003ish that was spray painted gloss black??? :lol:
