Sounds good.  Thanks Johnnya mraroid

Gorgonops...   I believe you are correct about the heat sink.  I did some digging last night and finally found one for sale.   I am trying to keep my B&W G3 V 2 motherboard intact with the CPU and heat sink.  I thought someone with a B&W with a V1 motherboard might want to upgrade to...

I think this is the *wrong* heat sink for a G4 in a Yikes! motherboard.  I think this is too big (?) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-PowerMac-G4-Heat-Sink-805-3705/352492968860 mraroid

What is the most current browser that I can run under 9.22?   When I am ready to install an OS on my G4, do I install OSX first, then 9.22, or is it the other way around?   With a Yikes motherboard and a G4 running at around 400Mhz, Low End Mac recommends Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Would I have less...

Great tip. Will do.  Thanks Mraroid

I see several G4 Apple Hardware Test CDs for sale on ebay.  I am not sure which one to buy.  Any suggestions? mraroid  

And I think this would work, and it is less then 1/2 the price of the Sonnet.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Macintosh-PowerPC-G4-ZIF-400MHz-CPU-Processor-377-2580-XSC7400HIP400CE/254069641337?hash=item3b27bb1079:g:QjgAAOSwVIZcOoeA:rk:1:pf:0 mraroid

That CPU upgrade would not work on the Yikes! motherboard, correct? mraroid

It is less then $20.00 to upgrade from a G3 to a G4.  I can take the $$ hit.  I do not have any big plans for OSX, but who knows, I might like it.  I hear what you are saying Gorgonops, but part of this hobby that is fun for me is to upgrade where I can.  Playing with this stuff is learning for...

Thanks so much. I think I got it..... mraroid

Hello...   I just bought this G4 motherboard for under $20.00 and free shipping:   https://www.ebay.com/itm/143061278226   Is this the Yikes motherboard?  It looks to be a drop in replacement for my version 2 Blue & White G3 motherboard.   I am unsure of which G4 CPU this motherboard and...

Thanks Gorgonops.  I am trying to get my head around where I am with my B&W, what upgrade options are available, and what I need.  I am not going to be filling the hard drive in my B&W with a lot of files and data.  128 GBs is way more then I would ever use.  So I am OK with one...

Is this the Yikes Power Mac G4 (PCI Graphics) computer that is being talked about? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-M5183-PowerMac-G4-Desktop-Computer-400MHz-64MB-SDRAM-DVD-ROM-Needs-HDD/312431149873?hash=item48be590331:g:J6IAAOSwWtFcP8wi:sc:USPSPriority!97301!US!-1:rk:15:pf:0 mraroid

Do you know the name of the Apple computer this motherboard came out of?  I might be able to track it down that way... Thanks mraroid

Hello....   My Blue & White G3 has two USB 1.1 ports.  I need more USB ports.  I see powered hubs that are available, but most are USB 3.0.  I do not care about faster USB speeds, I just needs a few more USB ports.  If I use a small modern powered USB hub will the higher voltage of USB 2.0...

Hello...   I have a apple keyboard model number KY1200XGKK4VC that came with my Blue & white G3.  It is completely filthy an dirty.   I removed the keys.  I removed the very small Allen screws and then the rest of the small Philips screws.  I see that the usb ports want to slide out.  But it...
