Re: Best possible graphics card for MDD G4?
Hi, Where can I get this control panel to switch my MDD Dual to single CPU mode? I often listen to music from my harddisks and don't like the constantly changing fan noise at all. Before I upgraded my single processor MDD 1.25 with a dual CPU board the fans were much quieter - but the YouTube videos quite choppy ... TIA, Jörg.
