Overclocking this Mac to the limit using scrap parts and period correct mods
The Macintosh Centris 610 is a humble machine that was in the mid-range of Apple Macintosh computers when it was released in 1993. With only a few dollars in parts (or free if you have them lying around) you can improve this computer’s performance by a whopping 42%.
The mods done here were developed by Guy Kuo and Eckart Hasselbrink back in 1993 and 1994.
