Re: MDD motherboards
The dual 1.25 will work fine in a single 1.25 motherboard. I don't believe it will harm the motherboard. A number of years ago I did have a dual processor where each processor was running a different speed. An error on my part. It was my first try at overclocking and I somehow skipped part of the directions and only overclocked one processor. I used it for a while before I realized my mistake and overclocked the other processor. On Mar 9, 2:22 pm, David W. Morris bbh...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for that great reply Wayne! I was beginning to believe that it could not be done. That there was some reason that prevented swapping the single G4 CPU module for use on the dual G4 motherboard. Now, another question is will the dual G4 CPU module work on the single G4 motherboard? As I am trying to trade G4 CPU modules with an owner of a single 1.25GHz G4 MDD PowerMac, it won't be a good trade if he can't use my dual 1.25GHz G4 CPU module. Your idea of changing the clock speed of the unused G4 to its slowest speed (333MHz), is an interesting option and might be less work and trouble. My only concern there is the possibility of messing up my perfectly working motherboard by having two different speeds running on these G4 CPU's. I would be willing to bet no one has tried it before, so no one would know what side effects it might cause. If it is a simple matter of removing, or reconfiguring some resistors on the CPU module to slow down just one of the two G4's, I could try it on the dual 1.25GHz G4 CPU module and keep my dual 1.42GHz G4 CPU model untouched, in case anything went wrong. Anyone else have any comments on this crazy idea? See my original post on this topic for details of what I am trying to do.

Need 2 things via PB G4 and OS Lion directory help
Greetings all, I have a Powerbook G4 connected to an Intel iMac via Target Disk mode, with the intent of copying files to the iMac in preparation for a nuke and pave for the G4 Powerbook (which it desperately needs at this point, as it is exhibiting serious OS issues, hence why the owner gave it to me to help them out). The iMac is running Lion (10.7) and the G4 is running leopard (10.5.8). Here are my questions: 1) in Lion, how do I make the folder window (when opened in List view) indicate at the bottom of the window the no. of items currently in the folder (as it does in Leopard and snow Leopard)? Every window in 10.5, when opened, displays information re; the no. of items in the folder, and the amount of disk space still available - I want to replicate that in Lion. 2) probably more important, as i am copying all these files from the G4 to the iMac (wedding photos, darn it, the ONLY copies, darn x 2!, so I gotta get them off!), sometimes the copying hangs on a (I suspect) corrupted file, and I can't get the iMac to give up trying (the little grey X in the copy progress bar supposedly used to stop copying is thoroughly useless) - currently I have no choice but to relaunch the Finder, which in turn hangs to relaunch until I either unplug the FW cable to the G4, or shut down altogether and relaunch, which I know is NOT the best option. Any way to make the iMac give up copying harmlessly? Any thoughts on either would be greatly appreciated.

Converting Binary saved apps for Mac OS 7 - 9
I found a site ( http://www.macintoshgarden.org/ ) that has a load of apps/games even operating systems for Mac OS 7-9 systems. Problem is that some of these good things are saved in binary form as they are more intended for emulators as ship shaver and Basillisk. Anyone knows how I can get that binary to work on my PowerMac G4 booting from Mac OS 9? Any ideas? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

GeForce 6200 AGP DDR2 anyone?
Hello! Does anyone happen to have an nVidia GeForce 6200 AGP, flashed ROM PCMac, running? I know the DDR version with 256 MB is working well, and there is a ROM available that can easily be flashed onto the card, BUT… I have the DDR2 version with 512 MB. If anyone has already accomplished the miracle of modifying the ROM to reflect the DDR2 memory and the 512 MB memory amount, that would be great! (So I know it can be done…) And if this friendly person would be willing to share it, that would be even greater!
