Dual 450mhz ran ok off of a CF card on the ATA-66 bus. Single CPU (400 or 450) wasn't that great but could've been worse.

I've ran Sorbet on a Sawtooth G4 @ either 400 or 450mhz. Also have ran it on a Dual 450Mhz Gigabit Ethernet model before.

G4 @500mHz. Ram maxed out at 1gb.

No you don't.

Trying to install Sorbet Leopard onto a SATA SSD via a flashed PCI SIL3112 Card onto my G4-Upgraded B&W G3 Rev2. Sorbet kernel panics with this log info. What do I have to do to install to install Sorbet or even regular Leopard to run on this now G4 Mac?

Actually found a serial number that worked with the OS X version of MachSpeed Control Panel. I also tried overclocking the chip to 550mhz but it froze hard once the "Starting Mac OS X" text appeared on the screen while attempting to run Tiger. Regardless, I'm gonna try to get Sorbet Leopard to...

Update: It works.

OS9 accepted my serial. Tiger didn't. Bad copy of the software?

Is it L2CacheConfig?

So I got the CPU in the mail and it works. OS9 accepted the serial number on the CPU via MachSpeed Control Panel without issue but the OSX version of MachSpeed Control Panel doesn't accept the serial. Is MachSpeed really necessary for OSX?

Yep. Though for me, I'm going from a G3-400 to a G4-500 (possibly 550 since speed control is on the CPU upgrade module).

Won a sealed G4 CPU by XLR8 (Daystar) for a decent price. Never owned a G4 ZIF CPU so this will be interesting. Will be arriving in a couple of days and will be installed in my Rev2 G3 Blue & White.

Someone in Los Angeles (Local Pickup Only) is selling a Digital Audio DVT unit. https://www.ebay.com/itm/276752392331?_skw=g4&itmmeta=01JTCQ53VV6EYAH9V3NDD7GRPN&hash=item406fba608b:g:KgkAAOSwrlpnRiNu

Try 2 things. If you have a spare PCI GPU (like a Mach 64 or Rage 128 for Mac) try booting with a graphics card installed. DB15 can be weird at times. It could also be picky/bad/dirty RAM. Remove the RAM modules, clean all of the RAM slots (cotton swabs soaked in 91% rubbing alcohol works fine)...

Ok it was still crashing, albeit not quite as often. I set the CPU from the 450mhz overclock I had back to 400mhz and it's all fixed now.

OK, after cleaning the RAM modules and the RAM slots, it seems to be fine right now. Will post updates if anything else changes.

It's been overclocked @ 450mhz for months. No issues as far as I remember, until now.

Hello, I've been having issues with my B&W Power Macintosh G3 Rev. 2. It's a 400mhz unit that has it's CPU overclocked to 450mhz. I installed Tiger 10.4.6 from DVD to a 128GB SSD (connected to a flashed Sil3112 SATA PCI card). The first half of the SSD is for OS 9 and the other half is for OS...

Hey. I was wondering if these G4 CPUs could be transplanted on to a processor card from a Beige/Blue and White G3. It would be cool to lift a G3 off the Processor Module just to put a G4 on it.

Hello. For an AGP 4x or 8x Radeon or GeForce card (OEM or Retail not flashed) to work in a Quicksilver 2002, would pins 3 and 11 still need to be disabled for the system to work? Been looking at cards like the Radeon 9600 or 9800 Pro that were pulled from Power Mac G5 systems (with AGP).
