Re: Unstable upgraded BW G3...
Try the simplest thing first- put a newer, larger hard drive in. The hanging you describe could be your drive locking up. Sometimes they do that for quite a while before seizing all the way. The Rev 1 ATA bus is often a PIA If the BW doesn't have a SCSI card you can get one cheap and put a 10K SCSI drive in (SATA and ATA cards, even used ones, are more expensive).

Re: Unstable upgraded BW G3...
Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions... I tried a bunch of them - too tired to enumerate them now; stuff like using AppleJack, etc., and then decided to put the BW's original 300 mHz CPU back in, and reset the jumpers accordingly... And to my great relief, it's now running Tiger 10.4.11 flawlessly, albeit slower than it ran with the 450 CPU... No hanging at all, not even when running two browsers and lots of open windows. Even when 'activity monitor' showed the two browsers were hogging 80 - 96% of RAM... I guess I naively thought that, since I was using a chip from the same (but speed-bumped) model, and it fit so nicely, that it wouldn't be the headache that it turned out to be. (BTW, if anyone out there does know how to do that safely, I'd still like to know.) The only issue left - and I suspect it's not really an issue - is I STILL don't get the startup chime-sound, though all other sound are fine.

Do you know the mod to make QS cpu work in sawtooth ? If I could do that it might help me get more resale value... there was a guy on ebay selling the 800s that come out to 600 on the 100mhz bus, looks like a 733 would work out to 550 like that.

Can't be done for two reasons: 1) Sawtooth is a 100 MHz bus machine, and those require a different location for its CPU socket and a different cooling system location, and 2) QS requires an independent source of +12 volts, which can be derived from any drive power connector. The beauty of the third party CPUs is they are designed for 100/133 MHz buses, and contain both the frequency switching logic AND an adjustable cooling system position. QS processors can be adapted to the other 133 MHz bus machine, the DA. Gig-E processors can be adapted to some other 100 MHz bus machines. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.

Re: Sawtooth vs DA/QuickSilver
Howdy, This is the article I saved on how to upgrade a gigabit. I plan to upgrade a G4 gigabit motherboard when I find the right CPU. http://homepage.mac.com/josephk/G4_mod.html The sawtooth is similar. Here is a page talking about upgrading processors on a sawtooth. I included the previous link, because you might need the info about the extra power cable, depending on exactly what you do. http://power-mac-g4.com/g4clockup.html Good day, Ralph On Tue, 2009-02-03 at 21:53 -0800, tortoise wrote: Do you know the mod to make QS cpu work in sawtooth ?
