There are two basic later G4 processor types: 133 MHz bus and 100 MHz bus. A QS processor is for a 133 MHz bus model, and it will only work in 133 MHz bus models, namely the DA and the QS 2001 and QS 2002, only. The earlier processors, such as a Gigabit E-net may work in several models, but I'm not as sure of how far the 100 MHz bus processor compatibility goes. Giga-Designs (and the OWC-branded processors which Giga-Designs makes for OWC) are designed for both 133 and 100 MHz bus models. Other than the bus speed, there is the issue of the location of the processor's connector, clearances for certain other connectors on the motherboard, and the location of the cooling fans. The innovative Giga-Designs product is designed to be adjustable to cover all 133 and most 100 MHz bus models in one user-configurable product. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
