Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

I was hoping for a program like this to come out as I did not want to edit and reburn the Leopard DVD, reformat and use Target Disk Mode or Overclock my Mac.

As promising as it sounded it just did not work. I followed the directions and it still reported my Mac as 800mhz and Leopard knew it. I even tried a few things that I thought might help. Nada, Leopard knew the correct speed everytime.

I just I can wait to see if the next upgrade works or just bite the bullet and whip out the MacBook Core Duo and put the old Mac in target disk mode. Either that or whip out the canned air and soldering gun and have a go at those jumpers.

Just what I was waiting for......and I am still wating! - iMac600

What type of machine, out of curiosity? I'm thinking a QuickSilver or later by the CPU speed, which may have a later revision of Open Firmware. The current release (1.0) has been tested on Sawtooth, Digital Audios and Cubes (but more will be added as details of their firmware become available).

I tried it on my 800Mhz eMac with Superdrive model. The one with the Nvidia graphics card. Looking forward to trying the updated version to see if it works.
