It's alive!! Swapping the RAM from J23, the slot second closest to the GPU, to the next slot down, zapping PRAM and hitting the PMU reset, everything now seems totally stable! Bounced between Sorbet and Tiger and tried a handful of things; nothing crashed or locked up at all. Thermals appear...

Thanks. <3 Wasn't sure if you meant it "should still run at 133MHz bus" as in "it'll still work if you revert the mod."

Temperatures didn't seem to be an issue, based on the monitoring. My heatsink is the one that came with the Dual 867MHz - had to cut about 2 square centimetres out of it to fit the extra components on the 1.25GHz board, but it's still got the industrial blaster fan on it. Using good thermal...

Good news is that I replaced the RAM with a 512MB PC2700 stick, and it boots okay! Bad news is that it seems incredibly unstable. Limited testing, but Sorbet Leopard gave me the ol' "Mac Bomb" Grey Box of Death multiple times without warning, and Tiger locked up and froze on me at least once. It...

I have not! I've considered having both System 7 and OS8, but will need an additional drive to do so. I do currently have Basilisk II set up for a few games that won't run properly on OS9, but I fear that the compatibility of that software with this hardware means it isn't going to be able to...

It's pulling duty as a triple-boot, Tiger, Sorbet, and OS9. And looking to expand further with an unlocked MorphOS, but I've not used it enough yet to feel comfortable and take the plunge. I want to retain full OS9 compatibility, so I stuck to the "officially" supported GPU and already upgraded...

I'll give those tips a shot, thank you! I've got a stick of PC2700 on the way I was able to pick up cheap, at least for testing; will hopefully arrive some time next week.

Well, my dual 1.25GHz CPU arrived. Successfully removed the resistor cleanly... but upon reassembly, I get a single loud beep and periodically blinking power light. Swapping the original CPU back in, I get nothing but the fans blasting at top speed. Searching online led to all manner of posts...

Wondering what people would recommend I look for to upgrade my Dual 867MHz G4 MDD. When I got it, it was pretty much Stock, but I'd like to get it up to at least Dual 1.25GHz to match my original machine back in the day, if I can. I'm a little unclear if the upgrades require physical...

Ah, what a shame... seems such a waste to have a potential interface just not doing anything, but custom designing a new card for modern wi-fi is pretty silly when a cheap dongle can handle it with zero effort.

Yeah, I did see that; it's interesting, but I was more curious about something new and custom, rather than using it for its intended purpose with something sort of unintended but contemporary. xD

I'm curious whether it's something that's been attempted or theoretically possible - the Airport Card slot is just a weird PCMCIA slot, right? Has anyone done anything fun with that? Even just using the interface to add safer, more modern wireless capabilities through that interface would be...

I don't think it is.

Wondering if anyone has had a similar issue to this. I got a five button wired USB mouse for my dual 867MHz G4 MDD; I wanted something that looked like the Pro Mouse to match the G4, but with all the functionality of 3+ buttons and scroll wheel. I settled on the "Aula S80" since I got it for a...
