g4 sawtooth upgrading

<< < (2/3) > >>

rtgwbmsr:
What I mean is: If you want to put any upgrade over 500 MHz, make absolutely sure it has an AGP slot.

As for the case thing, you can replace anything in it you want. I don't recommend chaning the motherboard unless it breaks though. And if you do change motherboards, you need to get a hold of the port shield for that motherboard. Also, the motherboard you are buying must have the exact same # of AGP&PCI slots

EDIT: Any 450 or 500 MHz G4's are AGP models (that is, unless the processor has been upgraded...)

so could you, theoreticly, put everything that is in the "fastest" (2000$) mac on the Apple store, in this?

rtgwbmsr:
In the one you linked to? I doubt it.

EDIT: Changing motherboards is further made a pain in the ass. The service manuals show that some motherboards will only go in some cases becase of a raised block (on the case) that serves as a heatsink for some chip on the back of the board.

I can't give you a straight answer. I recommend you do some research on this before going and buying anything. Here's what I think you want:

This has an AGP slot, can be upgraded to 1 or 2 1.25 GHZ G4s, etc.
