Power of PowerPC: Pimp My Quicksilver - Part IV:B CPU
http://powerofpowerpc.blogspot.com/2015/07/pimp-my-quicksilver-part-ivb-cpu.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Pimp My Quicksilver - Part IV:B CPU. As promised, this particular post will be short and sweet. First off, I have had to drop the upgraded CPU clock speed back down to 1.33 GHz as so far it seems to be offering the most stability with both operating systems. Research in that department continues. 1 Run the following command to search for the most current and appropriate 32-bit SMP PPC kernel within the Debian repositories. Sudo apt-cache search linux-image. Reboot your machine t...

TenFourFoxBox 1.0.1 available. As Steven Tyler howls he's Done With Mirrors from my G5's CD, TenFourFoxBox 1.0.1 is available for testing from this totally s3kr1t download location.

Power of PowerPC: Pimp My Quicksilver - Part IV:A CPU
http://powerofpowerpc.blogspot.com/2015/07/pimp-my-quicksilver-part-iva-cpu.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Pimp My Quicksilver - Part IV:A CPU. Not only that, but these upgrade gems are becoming harder and harder to come by. So onto the upgrade. The easiest part of this whole process was the steps to take out the old stock CPU and swap in the M5D-1214U Giga Designs dual 1.4 GHz 7457 CPU, which happened to be the first thing I did not really knowing what I was up against. I followed the steps from iFixit's website for swapping out the CPU here. After running this firmware upgrade and re...
