Finally got my ZIF from ic-china. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h149/aphetica/450copy.jpg?t=1207004815 I didn't really think it would be this easy... I managed to get it jumpered correctly using hard drive jumpers even though the fit was a little tight. Bus is running @75mhz, btw...

Nice deals! I had no idea that G3 notebooks (repairable ones even) could be had for that much.

This might not be the right idea, but personally I reseat all my connections to the mobo when I run out of ideas... sometimes it works. *shrug*

okay, dumb question time again- If it says it will arrive via "register airmail", does that mean I should check my PO box, or wait for UPS/FedEx/DHL to come to my door?

Yeah I finally got mine too. I was getting worried that I wouldn't receive it because my roommate got me temporarily suspended by using my account to bid up her own items. :(

That's kind of what browsers in OS9 like to do... They choke on javascripts like crazy. Try iCab instead. It seems to handle java much better.

So does this seller not send out emails to confirm that the item has been shipped? Or do they wait a long time before shipping? I haven't gotten any response from them since I won and paid for the item.

I want a tiny apartment.. maybe that would give me a reason to get rid of some of my junk, or atleast spend more time outside. Right now I am in about 500sqft.

NO MAC LEFT BEHIND. Save them all!

That's okay. I already got to 292mhz with an 83mhz bus and it seems to run fine. On top of that, I bought a 450mhz zif today. :) I used this page for reference: http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/~t-imai/g3ae1.html Honestly, I landed on 292 because many of the other settings required having 2 or...

Okay then, in for one! :D So... do I need to change my jumpers to use this? (450mhz G3 into a 266mhz beige G3) I apologize ahead of time if this question induces any facepalms.

Well, so far Tiger hasn't complained about not having USB or firewire. The RAM is already maxed out. Are there any problems in OS9 with the G4s? Will it interfere with my SCSI stuff? I thought I read something about that somewhere. Maybe that's a 6400 upgrade that I am thinking about though. I...

All he has left are 450mhz G3s... (the 450s have a 1mb cache, right?) The pins on them in the pics look weird though. They look like they are black instead of gold. Is that normal? They also say untested, which kind of worries me.

So, I've been thinking. I don't have a whole lot of spare cash right now, but I would really like to upgrade something. I could get a 450mhz G3 for about $10, or I could try and find a video card for this machine. Personally, I kind of want to get a VC first, but I have never added one since...

Thanks! :beige:

I know how to replace a fan, I just hate shopping for them. :/ You don't happen know what dB the PSU fan runs at, do you? What difference does the rev. B ROM make?

I'm having trouble finding this... is there a way to search for a specific seller?

Will do. I'm still trying to find some kind of temperature monitor though.

Also, it's reporting my vram as 8mb despite everymac saying that this machine's max vram is 6mb. I do not have a video card installed. I've had it up for about 40 minutes total and installed the new Tiger updates. It seemed to get a little warm then and the HD temp went from 22c to 26c, but I...
