I used to use a B&W 350 O'clocked to 450 running Jaguar in a
commercial print environment 18mths ago and it was rock solid and
only had 384 MB RAM. I was also able to run Adobe CS1 suite on this
machine with no real dramas. Yep more RAM would have been nice but
hey that's all I had.
(!!)
Yes I know it seems hard to believe but it's true. Lots of disc
activity none the less. And only using standard IDE nothing extra
too. (boss was a bit tight at spending at times...)
Of all the B&Ws I've oclocked only one (the above mentioned work
machine) would take 100mHz over original spec and be reliable, all
others I've only managed to get 50mhz from with out any probs - that
is leaving standard bus rate at 100mhz. I didn't try messing around
with bus rates as this can be detrimental to timing on the PCI bus.
Hmm. If I can find a suitable cooling fan to put on the CPU, I
might try that.
usual resources but - xlr8yourmac.com
It also seems that the copper based G3s can take the speed bump more
reliably as well.
How does one tell which G3s are copper-based?
From memory the system profiler gave that info. If not then
something like tattle tech or similar should do the trick.
Or better yet try this http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/G3CARDS/PPCchecker/
It seems that Copper ran cooler but often wouldn't take as much a
bump as the Aluminium version - again it's been too long since I did
this to remember fully. I would trawl the archives above.

Simon
