[Early Access] Hacking a super-powered PC graphics card into my G4 Cube
Added 2020-11-12 16:53:45 +0000 UTCHello Patreon friends! Welcome to the early access video for this week!
OK, I'm really excited about this mod. The G4 Cube is quite famously under-powered, originally coming with either a 400mhz or 500mhz G4 and a really lame Rage 128 Pro graphics card. Since we've already maxed ours out with a 1.2 GHz G4 and an SSD, really the only thing left is to put a killer graphics card in.
The only problem is, there aren't a lot of great options that fit in the Cube.
So today, we're going to be hacking a super-fast GeForce 6200 graphics card that only ever came out for PC, to try and get 256 megs of graphics goodness into our Cube.

Haha yeah I was so disappointed! This video took weeks to make because everything kept going wrong. Worth it in the end though!

I know I would have been super sad... but good on you for buying a backup card, or even if it was just on a whim to try again, kudos all the same. I know it's not that easy to get to the SSD in there, but why not try and hack in a second SSD or slim HDD and install Adelie Linux on it? I think it's getting closer to release (right now it's on Release Candidate 2 I believe). Great video and I feel special being able to see it before most. haha.
