I didn't realise the ethernet was gigabit! We had it connected to a fairly

I have several G5's, but am at a loss as to what to do with them. If they supported
classic Mac OS I'd have one up and running in a heartbeat.
What was the juciest AGP graphics card for the G4? Some form of GeForce?

I have a "pinstripe" grey G4 PowerMac with (if memory serves) a 400Mhz CPU -
would this be a safer bet?
Yes, that or a slightly faster one. I like the ones where we went with gigabit ethernet
(2nd gen G4?)
Is there any way to underclock the 1.25Ghz
CPU's in the mirror door for improved reliability in the mirror door?
Not without a rom change.
One of the big problems was this was the first machine with tightly tuned ddr memory and
there
was a lot of magic performed to get it reliable.
It's been a while, if it's 1.25, this may have been a next generation G4 that
wasn't so power hungry.
First gen MDD was bad.
I was off of G4 and working on bringing up G5 by that time.
