There are single core upgrades up to 1.8 GHz around. Up to 1.6 GHz it may be bought at a reasonable price… Search for Sonnet, OWC (Other World Computing), Giga Designs, Newer Technology, PowerLogix, XLR8 and FastMac. http://lowendmac.com/ppc/g4upgrades.html It doesn’t always have to be Sonnet. I have an OWC upgrade at home, a Mercury Xtreme G4 1.4 GHz Processor Upgrade (OWCME41400L2D), like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OWC-Mercury-Xtreme-1-4GHz-Apple-G4-Desktop-Upgrade-/261133816357 (that’s not my eBay auction, I just want to make the point that it may still be available) IMO Dual processor upgrade cards are in no way worth the current market prices, like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sonnet-Technologies-PowerPC-G4-1-8-GHz-SG4D-1800L-Processor-/150920002639 BUT, original Dual-1 GHz processor modules are also available, like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Mac-G4-1-0GHz-Dual-Processor-Module-661-2730-820-1310-A-3967-/160940346106 Cheers, Andreas aka Mac User #330250 -- 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.
