Hey, first time posting on this site so go easy on me
I recently managed to pick up a Imac G3 Graphite, 700mhz, 1GB ram, 60GB HD, OSX 10.4.11 for free (Well kinda free, im repairing 2 emacs and a powermac g4) it runs pretty well for me (starts lagging with firefox/itunes/msn/transmission| running at the same time ) im one of these people who HAVE to multitask computers :L i know its old and i probebly shouldn't push it this hard but... hehehe its fun
well anyway iv been reading up and seen posts that you can over-clock other g3's (re-soldering the jumpers for the CPU clock controllers) and i was wondering if i could do the same for this one. I've had a little look around the internet and haven't found anything.
I just need that lil speed boost the current speed of it is starting to annoy me (it still has the original hard drive so maybe a new quicker one might help a bit also) Im good with soldering (modded many xbox's, repaired many things by soldering etc)
Or if there's some software that could help me fine tune the mac (i've already disabled dashboard/spotlight ) or another way to speed this mac up a bit with out spending too much ( i could pick up a 1.4Ghz emac for £150)
Thanks for any help in advance xD
