the early G4s dont clock up that high your lucky to get a 150Mhz bump (50-100Mhz is the normal average). the highest clocked 7410 CPU upgrades iv seen topped out at 600Mhz. one of the 7450s big redesigns was a redone and deeper pipeline to let it clock faster then what the 7410 could manage (as...

theres No way you can get a clamshell clocked to 1Ghz theres no compatible CPU with them that clocks that high. the best you could do is rob a 533Mhz 7410 off a Apple CPU and clock that to like maybe 650Mhz or something plus remember clamshells are fanless computers so you will be limited by...

interesting heh. if the cache is still there on the board what if you install OS X on the machine and install sonnets cache enabler does it enable the cache or does the machine lock up because the cache gets enabled but is running too fast? also still waiting to see it running leopard :p . also...

so it is currently running without any physical cache chips then or? also interesting on the firmware update, i have not had many issues with updating firmware/boot roms (I have had to update a lot of my own machines and I did not have many/if any issues at all although i dont own a clam shell...

well its defo not running at 66.8Mhz thats for sure :) I suspect OpenFirmware does not know how to compute the 7.5x multiplier you set it too (some G4 upgrade cards for the G4 towers warn of this and some had OF patches so OF detected/displayed the right frequency to the OS). Btw did you...

I already mentioned trying sonnets cache enabler on the iBook G3 but yeah defo get the firmware updated (sonnets cache enabler works best from my testing) dont use the one in xpostfacto it hangs the system in anything past like 10.2 LOL

the Radeon 9200 AFAIK will only work with full 3d/2d in 9.2.2 (as thats the only OS the ATI drivers for that  card work in) in 9.2.1 the system will lock up in 9.1 and before the card will work fully but you wont have any 2d/3d as theres no drivers for anything before 9.2.2. make sure to install...

2048x1152 in Mac OS 7.6 anyone? :) got a Radeon 9200 inside a 4400/160 (AAPL,e826). when it comes to PCI macs there ability to drive monitors falls only on the Graphics card (and OS if your using a flashed card with a reduced rom that has no NDRV) it has nothing to do with the rest of the system.

btw just a quick comment. a friend had a iBook clamshell arrive from the same source you got yours max and i noticed the firmware was not fully updated. (his came running firmware 2.4 something, the latest is 4.1.7) so i recommend installing that firmware update and see if it enables the L2...

sounds like a plan! if its still in bits/you made the hard drive easily accessible id recommend pulling the drive and installing Leopard on it using another Mac and putting the drive back. (the First gen clamshells basically have No fast user IO apart from maybe the 10/100 ethernet) the...

Pretty much :) I installed the Rage 128 Kexts from Tiger they help some but not all of its bundles are compatible with leo so i dont get any OpenGL acceleration for example. apart from doing Fancy GUI animations it runs well (especially as i have it booting from a Good 16GB CF card where the...

any more word on the iBook G3 clamshell? any OS X shots? :) im quite interested in how that turns out :) (if cache does not show up natively run GeekBench get a score then install sonnets cache enabler then re run GeekBench if the score is higher then the last by an appreciable amount then...

@CC_333 thats very kind of you to offer them but i only have 3 G4s chips left ATM and id like to try those first on other machines. i mean if you wanna cover postage feel free to send them but I dont know when id get round to doing a CPU swap on em so maybe keep them for now i know user...

just wanna report some great news! i decided to try this on my PowerBook G3 Pismo CPU card. and it worked! i removed the old CPU soldered on the new one put it in the Machine and it booted right up. the only thing wrong is the L2 cache does not work (on uninorth machines it should show up with a...

another report just set the G3 BWs FSB to 66Mhz still the same thing. shame theres no visible/known test points on the ZIF to measure voltage. (the G3 Beige is in bits and needs a PSU fitted as the old one blew up so I dont want to drag that down plus being a DT id have to clear off a bunch of...

Hmm just tried jumping the supposed Vreg pads on the 266Mhz 7410 ZIF (I used small copper strands to do so and made sure there was continuity) to match the ones on the 300Mhz. I still only get a chime and no video but i THINK the heatsink stays cooler for longer and i noticed that i can now do...

yeah just a couple what i assume by pass caps. I have a mild case of CP so my hands can get a bit shaky when you dont want em to. and i knocked a couple caps lose lifting the old chip. i made sure all where connected still (well apart from one that looks decidedly dodgy ill try reworking that...

2.6v! yikes! (pun intended :p ) would explain why its not posting luckily i have Pictures of a Yikes ZIF from user Bunnspecial and will be comparing them to my G3 ZIF (and my 300Mhz ZIF that i butchered for that matter). my quick over view of when he sent the pics shows a set of resistors...

what specific 750 data sheet are you looking at just wondering as it can vary from chip model to chip model id not be surprised if the early 750s ran at a higher voltage then the later 750s found in Pismos and the like. but yeah looking into how to lower the voltage is always good (because even...

Yeah thats what im thinking. to test lower speeds I need my G3 beige out as i have not come across a jumper chart that goes bellow 3x multiplier (but giving it some thought i know there is a way to jumper the bus speed down from 100Mhz to 66Mhz should look into that then) otherwise yeah I hope...
