Re: Over clocking G4

If you are thinking of adjusting voltage and clock timings in 'BIOS' the answer is no. Certain models used resisters on the logic board to set CPU speed, bus speed, etc… But those are older models and it's not as easy as overclocking in the Windows world. And then there were some CPU upgrades available for some Mac models that would increase the CPU clock speed, but you were still stuck with a fairly slow bus speed. There have been some successful board transplants, such as a 1.25 GHz board into a 1 GHz Power Mac, or a 1.25 GHz board into a 700/800 MHz iMac.

You can boost audio in an audio editor such as Audacity, Peak, Sound Studio, Amadeus Pro, WavePad, etc… (Audacity and WavePad are free) There is a learning curve with audio editors just as with video and graphic editors. I strongly suggest you back up the file first and then experiment with the audio, simply boosting the level may not give satisfactory results. You might need to apply normalization, noise reduction, or other 'effects' to get clear sound. Most audio editors include a few VST plugins, if they don't give the effect you need there are a lot of free VST plugins you can find with a Google search. They can give your audio editor the ability to enhance the sound to your liking.

Re: Hardware test results on my G4 eMac - Memory issue?

But - when I forced reboot, it would only show the apple icon and spinning thing - then slowly it went to a blue screen. Blue screen flickered, but did nothing to finish booting. The Tiger disk I have isn't for the eMac specifically. So I took my eMac original disks out (with 10.3-something.) and ran the hardware test. It came up with a memory error: Erorr code 2MEM/104/4:DIMM1/J1 I read some obscur post somewhere that said it is possible that when upgrading OS the old RAM will be obsolete. I don't know which OS's it was talking about though. Could this be my problem? I only know enough to be dangerous about diagnostics - so your advice would be very appreciated. If it is the RAM, is it both chips? If I could limp along with only one for a while, that would be workable - no cash for replacement or repair. Hoping you can help me learn what I need to get the eMac running again. Try removing one stick of RAM if you can and see how it behaves, then replace that stick and remove the other stick and again see how it behaves. If it works with one and not the other you've diagnosed the problem, if it doesn't work with either stick of RAM then either both are bad or not up to spec, or you have a different problem.

It would be hard to draw 500W, even with the monitor running off the PM's power supply. According to Mactracker the maximum wattage for my PM is 604 watts.
