Do NOT push it while the Mac is running. The offical procedure is to remove the processor card, push the switch, then insert the new processor card. What doing that does is reset the PRAM, and circuitry that identifies the processsor card on the mb. Generally you'll only need to do this is you're changing processor cards, or things are so screwed up in the nvram that the machine won't boot. > -- Wherever you go, there you are.
