350 mhz does seem pretty underpowered for running Tiger. My 1Ghz G4 laptop runs Tiger and I can't stream Youtube videos any higher than 240p. Word 2008 also runs slow after a while but I think that may be due to a memory leak as it corrects itself upon restarting the computer. So I would recommend …

A not so gentle prod from MS to move on to Win9. I have the 780 Ti and two SSDs, one with Winblows 7 64bit and one with XP 32bit which is for when I come across apps that require a 32 bit OS (which happens quite often especially for old Japanese stuff) so for that reason I want to hold off from …

Rare 2GHz CPU upgrade? Up until around 2008 or so there were CPU upgrades sold by NewerTech which worked with some of the earlier G4 models, including the one OP is using, and they went up to 2Ghz for single core or 1.8 for dual core. They came with a CD which flashed the Mac's firmware so that you …

The new GTX 980 card has 6GB VRAM and considering that 32-bit Windows only supports 4GB it will most likely be useless to use on a 32-bit OS. You'll also see that on the geforce website the card is not listed as certified for Windows XP while the 780Ti is. So the drivers may not even work. At this …

I have Windows XP SP3 32bit running on a 4ghz cpu, 4GB RAM, plus a gtx 770 card. I've been thinking that I would like to get a Voodoo 2 or 3 for this box so I can play original Unreal, Tomb Raider, and Ultima IX under native Glide mode without having to deal with wrappers. Then I would go on to try …

If memory serves, the last PPC version of Virtual PC I used (long time ago, so I'm not 100% sure if it was under OS 9 ), supported USB virtualization . This would have allowed a connected USB device to be driven directly by the guest OS (Windows 95 or 98, for example). So, in your case, if you were …

A PPC dynarec is actually in progress, just sit tight for a couple of weeks. Is it because of the Wii port? That thing still uses a 729mhz G3... now that's funny. Well, if it is going to be done soon, then I'm happy. Because I have seen references to the ppc dynarec going a few years back, but no …

You will not get better speeds. You probably think that Dosbox is perfectly optimized and a 1ghz g4 is some sort of joke. But I get perfect speeds in all DOS and Windows 95 games using Virtual PC and RealPC under Mac OS 9, and that's a 15 year old operating system. Can I use my MT-32 on those …

I found that I can get an okay framerate in Doom by setting cycles to max, detail to low, and the screen size to about 50%. Still, not what I would call 486 speed. I tried some earlier versions too, but they performed about the same. I also found that DBGL somehow configs it to run very slow. Does …

Looks like someone needs to get on that wiki, then! I tried the svn, same issue, very small speed increase but still very slow w/ no sound.

I have a 1ghz Powerbook G4 with 1GB RAM, 64MB VRAM and an SSD drive, running OS X 10.4.11 Based on what this page says, I should be able to run games at 486 speed. So I tried installing the Doom shareware wad. It takes a full minute to boot up, and then it runs sloooow, and with no sound. I tried …
