100 MHz bus processors are compatible with other 100 MHz bus processors because these use the same socket and the same powering arrangement. The 133 MHz bus processors are different. ANY DA processor, single or dual uses only the socket for ALL its signals and power. This is the same socket as the 100 MHz bus processors, but because the physical position is different, there can be no mechanical interchangeability. Any QS processor, single or dual, uses BOTH the socket AND an additional terminal for power. DA processors are incompatible with QS machines. QS processors are conditionally compatible with DA machines PROVIDED a secondary source of +12 volts is provided to the processor card. -- 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.
