Might be. But since a lot of people have been successful with this specific processor upgrade, I doupt that it’s just my Mac that keeps it from running. This very Mac has run a couple of processors successfully: 1) PPC 7450 733 MHz (the lame version with no L3 cache) 2) PPC 7455B 1.4-1.467 MHz (OWC Mercury Extreme G4 1.4 GHz) 3) Dual PPC 7450 800 MHz (from top-of-the-line Quicksilver, 2001) All of them worked well. Now, the Dual 1.0 GHz from the top-of-the-line Quicksilver 2002 is said to work without problems in the original Quicksilver from 2001. At least a lot of people have had no problems with such an “upgrade”. …by now I really suspect that the processor module is simply broken… :-( > It's not like a nail, that you can push it down eventually, even if it's not > the right size. ;-) I know. But it’s not like it’s a different size of nail. It really should “fit”. > I think you better investigate about the new processor compatibility. > Putting it into the "wrong" Mac could even be dangerous to it. That’s what I was doing beforehand in this forum and on the internet. But, yeah, I’m still waiting for users telling me it didn’t work out for them.
