Who Said Macs Can't Have Great Graphics? - Building the World's Fastest G4, Part 2 #GPUJune
3,605Thanks https://PCBWay.com - Today we're tearing into the achilles heel of Macintosh gaming - graphics cards! In this second installment of our quest to build the world's fastest Power Mac G4, we're hacking a Windows-only GPU to work in our dual 2.0 GHz Mac G4.
Oh, and we might accidentally kill the power supply, and have to hack in a modern ATX PSU!
