Six years ago, it started out life as a humble Sawtooth Powermac. It has since been mangled into a perversion of science!!
- Single G4/450MHz w/ no L3 cache --> Dual 1.3GHz G4 w/ 2MB L3 per CPU
- 128MB RAM --> 2GB RAM
- 20GB 5400rpm ATA66 --> 2X180GB Hitachi 7200rpm 8MB cache drive (xServe drives), running off an ATA133 PCI card as a striped RAID
- DVD-ROM --> 8X DVDRW
- ATI Rage 128 Pro 16 AGP --> ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 64MB AGP & Radeon 32MB PCI
- Dual NEC 17" LCDs w/ 16ms response time
- Apple Pro keyboard
- MS Trackball Explorer
This Xserve comparison pits it against a more-or-less stock Sawtooth.
My sig covers where my Frankenmac was at one time (carbon date the OS version )
RacerX said:My iMac really qualifies as a FrankinMac as it is made up of parts and pieces from a couple of iMacs The logic board is from my original iMac 350, the monitor, power supply and DVD-ROM drive are from a dead iMacDV. And I replaced the original 6 GB drive with a 30 GB drive. It has 384 MB of RAM and is running Mac OS X v10.2.
