It would be really cool, but how many people would use it to make it really worth while? The eager clientele would be limited.

Github hates every browser I've tried on PPC Macs. Aquafox is solid, I'm liking it.

Having gigabytes of space in an age where systems have hundreds on the high end. BlueSCSI are a little quirky sometimes, but absolutely awesome. Did you get one of the newer ones that supports the weird SCSI ethernet wifi thing? That too, is wild and cool.

I did this to my Q605 with an overclocked full 68040 (Not 68LC040, LCII with a full 68040 card, and an LCIII+. I do not remember what the infrared thermometer said at the time, it has been years, but it was enough of a difference on the processors surface to make me do this change to all 3. The...

I usually flip the fan upside down. It makes the machine a little louder, but it draws in air from bottom to top, instead of attempting to blow hot air out of the bottom of the case. The software overclock is also awesome, you can get some real speed out of these things.

It's a 7400 I believe, running MacOS 8.6, 9.2.2, and 10.2.

I can't speak for the Yikes G4, but I have a XLR8 G4 upgrade in my G3 Rev C tower, running at 500Mhz and it never gave me any issues with its Radeon 7000 installed. The processor also came with extensions, so maybe that has something to do with it.

I have a Tanzania clone, Powertower 225. I love the thing, I had no idea they made Catalyst clones. The bus speed I'm sure helps a ton when it comes to speed. I know the Tanzania clones had some kinda chipset/thing that increased RAM communication speed in some way, but it was still hamstrung by...

I was using a Twin Turbo Graphics card with a VGA display, and it did this, there was a Sync on Green toggle in software, that fixed it. A similar thing.

If you have a spare thunderbolt cable, plug the cable into the back of the display and then into your computer instead of using the Thunderbolt/Magsafe combo cable. For science.

On other laptop types, I've used lubricant of some kind, usually the same stuff I'd use to lubricate disk drives, or keyboard microswitches.

Without quoting anything in particular, I have an XLR8 G4, it's clocked in at 500Mhz, I put a fan on it because it makes an uncomfortable amount of heat in a beige G3 tower case. I also have the BUS speed up to 83Mhz, which seems to matter more than increasing the CPU clock any higher. I'll try...

I have one of these in a beige G3, it's really good. Set the jumpers appropriately, and it can really fly.

Crashing some ways through install is often a RAM issue, at least I've observed.

It's crazy to see them fall as low as 200USD. A 12-core CPU and D700 can boil water though.
