I picked up a 80 Pin cable today and installed it. Unfortunately, no improvement. I'd swear it is the same cable that is already in my G4. They both have 40 pin IDE connectors. They both have the same color connectors...Blue for the motherboard, gray for the first connector, and black for the last connector. And, they both appear to have the same number of wires. If any one that has been able to achieve true 16X burns on their G4, I would love to here how to do it. Thanks, Kevin
