xbetterforworsex Registered: 10/28/05 Posts: 32	but the main tutorial I found was for a blue & white, but I've got the silver and grey one, but not the mirrored doors one. Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent tutorial? thanks!

This is the quicksilver: http://www.dd.se/Justnu/bilder/mwnybilder/g4010718endblackbkg315.jpg This is the Mirrored Drive Doors: http://www.megamacs.com/v1/photos/ApPMG4DP867-1GB-U.jpg The last of the G4s looked like this. Easy way to ID any Mac is to use the system profiler and get Mactracker (http://mactracker.ca). System profile lists a 'Machine Model'. You can serach Mactracker for yours.

I have a SP 1.4GHz that i would like to try to get to 1.5 or maybe even push to 1.6. That's if it's even possible to get it to overclock at all. _________________________ Website

If you find a way to oveclock it I would toss in a G5 heatsink or even water cool the system. _________________________ To live is to let die
