I was wondering what other G4s could a Quicksilver cpu fit into?
It is an 867 mhz cpu.
The easy mod is for a Digital Audio. You need to add a 12v line to
the card from a drive power plug. Not hard and I can send you a link
if you wish. Extra cooling is never a bad idea.
The really tough mods are to get it into a Sawtooth or Gigabit
machine. It is plug compatible with their cpu sockets, but you also
need to do the following:
a) remove one of the onboard ata connectors
b) modify the heatsink (not recommended without additional cooling)
or do internal case mods to fit it
In addition, without circuit board level modifications, the processor
will run at a slower speed. The 867 is at a 133MHz bus speed (6.5 x
multiplier). Without circuit board level modifications, in a 100MHz
bus machine, it will only run at 650MHz (6.5 x 100)
