the very fast G3's ZIF upgrades were developed precisely BECAUSE they didn't require cutting the bus speed to 66MHz. the problem is the G4 Altivec Engine, which is not compatible with the B&W mobo because the mobo was developed before the invention of the Altivec enhanced CPUs. here's the URL you asked for: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/accelerators/PowerLogix/PowerForce-ZIF/ ah...clem -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
