Hoe-k, So I started out with a Beige G3. I've upgraded it out the wazzoooo and haven't looked back. I've overclocked my processor and it's cash. Is there any way to overclock the RAM? I can't seem to find any literature on the process at all. :( Thanks in advance for your assistance. Your...

'ello, So I've been running Mac OS 10.3.9 on my G3 for a while now (a couple weeks) without issue and I decided to upgrade my video from the onboard Rage II to a Radeon 7000 with 64MB memory and PCI interface. I was hoping to get better internet page scrolling, better QuickTime performance, and...

h-okay... So, I use two different Macs. With the Beige G3, updating the video card drivers was a snap. It has an ATI rage 2 on-board video card, so I went to ATIs website and updated the drivers for that specific "card." Done. The other Mac I use is a G5 dual 2-gig beast of a jet engine...

Hello everybody! I'm installing OS 10.3 onto my Beige G3. If for some reason classic starts up through system 10.3, I don't want it touching my OS 9.2.2 partition and screwing things up. Is there any way to make OS 10.3 not play with my OS 9.2.2 partition? If I need to run OS 9.2.2, I'll reboot...

If I'm in OS 10.3 and I use the regular "startup disk" application and choose to boot up in OS 9.2.2 at the next restart, the computer restarts to a grey screen and does nothing. If I'm in OS 9.2.2 and open the "startup disk" application, the entire computer freezes before the application even...

Okay, In OS 9.2.2, I can go to the "hot function keys" section in the "keyboard" option in the control panels, and make it so that "F1" opens IE and "F4" opens Mozilla and so on. How do I do that in OS 10.3.9? The only thing the keyboard options let me do is make hotkeys for the functions...

I installed OS 10.2.8 on my Beige G3 and everything works fine; however, the internet on the OS 9.2.2 partition is slow as molasses now. Does anyone know what's going on? When I first installed OS X, I had to "re-bless" the system file in OS 9.2.2 to get the OS 9.2.2 partition to boot up. Is...

. HELP! BROKEN GLASS! ( See third post ) I've been trying to get OS 10.3 to work on my Beige G3 desktop using xpostfacto. I know it has done wonders for others, but of corse it's poisen to my particular G3 revision. Anyway, I was trying to just get my...

I've spent almost two straight days trying to get OS 10.2 to load onto my G3 Desktop using every conceivable combination of hardware being pulled out and software being installed (xpostfacto) and still it won't work. What gives? Isn't a G3 supported with OS 10.2? Please feel free to ask if a...

Hello, I have a G3 beige Mac, logic board revision 1, 266MHZ processor, 6MB Video RAM, 416MB system RAM, 120GB hard drive, OS 9.2.2. I could be using the G5 with OS X in the next room, but it's just too much fun pushing my G3 to the limit and using applications I'm much more familiar with as I...
