[Project] I-Book G4 Resurection

#6
thanks! yeah the speed improvement was dramatic when I doubled the ram... I might be able to bring it up to 2GB since I've tested both ram slots.

after having talked to sci-fi we think it might be a voltage issue?
anyway if I decide to go beyond 1GB I can simply order verified 2x1GB ram sticks that are known to work with powerbooks.

until then though... so fast!

I've got sim city 1 2 3 and 4 running on it as well as the sims, Master of Orion, sim tower, and starcraft! Big Grin

I plan to run the sims 2... if I can find a copy lol.

after a bit of fiddling I finally got tenfourfox on the macbook, I'm actually writing this from the laptop having successfully logged in!

the login is tricky if you can't change themes lol.

even better, so long as you set it to 480p and let it buffer a minute... it plays youtube videos via HTML 5!

Notice that the bottleneck here is the 1.67ghz cpu not the 1gb of ram.
I really can't push it any harder. Cool
