I transplanted all disks and drives from my "dead" dual 1.25 GHz MDD to another 1 GHz single-CPU MDD (FireWire 400) and have everything working again. But ...
I have also the optional developer toolkit installed and the Hardware control panel still shows two processors running at 1 GHz. So does the Apple System Profile. Activity Monitor also shows two CPUs. When I switch off one CPU via the Hardware control panel, Apple sys. prof. shows only one CPU. So Hardware created a virtual CPU and Sys. Prof. gets its info from Hardware?? Sys. Prof. sees the mobo running at 167 MHz. So maybe the CPU's real speed would be 1.25 GHz? I think this MDD was made in 2003, the last FW 400 edition for people who still needed to boot into Sys. 9. Anyway, I will replace the CPU and install my dual CPU-card again after getting some Arctic Silver. Thanks again for all comments, Jörg.
