I have an 867 dual and recently it has been giving a bad ram beep either at post or randomly during use. I believe the motherboard is starting to go. The ram is just fine in another machine. I was wondering if I could swap in a motherboard from a MDD 1.42 dual and use everything from the 867 including the processor? I know there is a difference in the bus speed but do not know if that would prevent the 867 from functioning or destroy the 867 processor. I dont know if the power supply will hook up or work with the board. Can anyone shed any light on this? I have been cruising the net and various mac sites but cannot find this specific information. The reason I would prefer to use the 1.42 board is because I have it sitting here and there would be no out of pocket if I use it. I even have the ram for it. Any help/information is appreciated.
