iBookdude458 Where's the cache? Registered: 11/15/07 Posts: 341	I have an iBook G4 1.33 Ghz late 2004 model and would like to get more graphics power out of it. Is it possible to buy a an ATI mobility product and install it in my laptop or is there a PCMI card that can replace the airport card and give mor graphics power. _________________________ Macbook Pro 15.4" 2.53GHZ Core 2 Duo 4GB RAM Powermac G5 Dual-Core 2.3GHZ 2GB Ram Powermac G4 Quicksilver 733MHZ 1.25GB Ram iPod Video (1st Generation) 60GB

An overclock utility to bring a little more umph out of your GPU. _________________________ PB G4 15" 1.2ghz - Pismo G3 400 mhz - iBook G3 500 "Jukebox" "SawSmurf" G4 500 - Quicksilver G4 Dual 1ghz modding...

If the chip starts acting up, go back to your default settings immediatly. _________________________ PB G4 15" 1.2ghz - Pismo G3 400 mhz - iBook G3 500 "Jukebox" "SawSmurf" G4 500 - Quicksilver G4 Dual 1ghz modding...
