Of course, it is indeed possible to "overclock" a processor card, if one knows how to reprogram the PLL by changing its strapping. Many G4s will simply run too hot, when overclocked. Others may run OK, and be relatively cool to the touch. Example ... The dual 800 MHz G4 (QS 2001) and the dual 1.0 GHz G4 (QS 2002) use the same "raw" board, but these are otherwise quite different, with different regulator components, etcetera, between the two. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
