Powermac 9600 CPU upgrade
supernova777:
on win98 it really wasnt that difficult. copy + pasting a few lines + editing the resolution number
maybe u can do something similar with a right clcick show package contents?? to find the file that holds the resolutions info
mactron would know better then i
Syntho:
Actually it may be the exact same method as described above in the link I posted for ATI cards. The guy has already posted extensions for the Twin Turbo cards but not at the resolutions I want. I'll have to wait and see...

its the drivers that dont support the resolution

switchres in OS9 and OSX can help you further here, too, as long as the monitor is not of some ultra idiosycratic resolutions (e.g. fixed frequency or of quadratic size)
Syntho:
I picked up a 500mhz Sonnet card, but I'm thinking of going with another faster CPU. Those upgrade cards past 500mhz are hard to find. I'd settle on a 700mhz if I could find it, 800mhz would be even better, and I won't try getting a 1ghz since those are way too hard to find.
Currently my 9600 has a 233mhz CPU which is an upgrade from the 200mhz that it originally had. This thing is WAY slow. I'm curious to see benchmarks between the 233mhz CPU and the 500mhz G3 upgrade CPU. I looked for benchmarks online but those older systems don't seem to be benched so much.
The mhz between 233 and 500 is obvious but I wonder what else comes into play as far as speed since they're actually different chips.
