Greetings ( + )!( + )
I installed a 533 MHz processor from a Power Mac G4 Digital Audio,
into my G4 Sawtooth AGP Graphic, which I bought from Apple as a 350
MHz.
When I pull-up the "About this Mac" it responds with "Processor 400
MNz PowerPC G4" and when I go to the "System Profile" it has the same
information.
I'm running OS X 10.3.9 so I switched back OS 9.2.2 and that OS had
the same information.
Does anyone know 1. Why, 2. How do I correct this information.
The previous owner of this processor says that when it was in his
Digital Audio that his platform reported a 533MHz operating speed.
The processor has a 4x multiplier from the bus speed. A Digital Audio
has a 133 MHz bus so 133MHz x 4 = 533MHz
Your Sawtooth has a 100 MHz bus speed so a 4x multiplier gives you
100MHz x 4 = 400MHz
You can not really correct this because everything is working correctly.
From what I understand there are hacks to change the multiplier on the
card, but this entails some soldering and circuit board work and is not
for the squeamish.
I think someone on this list has done that, but do not remember.
HTH,
