Hello!
I have a Powermac G4 dual (1.25 ghz), running under OS X Tiger.
I use this computer as a test server with low traffic. Because no
performance-demanding tasks are running on it, I want to decrease
the temperature of both cpus and thus also reduce the noise of the fan, as
it is way too high. (and the power consumption)
I have heard of CHUD 3.5.2 and its option of enabling nap mode, but I am not
willing to risk crashing the machine, because I have read that enabling nap
on both cores will probably crash the computer and it also has other
side-effects.
Is it possible to manually reduce the speed of both cpus? (probably from
Open Firmware). I would rather go with 2 x 1.0 Ghz (250mhz less per cpu).
And if it is, how dangerous is that?
Thank you for your answers!
Matevz Markovic
