Hi All,
I have a question regarding the GFX cards used in older Macs, specifically that in the iMac G3 DV (Rage 128 Pro).
I have overclocked the iMac CPU by 100MHz to 700MHz already and have a software overclock on the GFX card. But i was wondering if anyone has or would know if it would be possible to upgrade the GFX card RAM. I see there are plenty of Rage 128 Pro/Ultra 32MB GFX cards kicking around for very cheap, so was wondering if swapping out the RAM chips would work.
I am skilled with soldering so i have no worries there other than it not working or damaging both sets of RAM in the process.
Please let me know if anyone has tried or knows anything about this as i wasnt sure if it would work that i would need different firmware in order to utilise the RAM.
Thanks
