Re: Digital Audio Processor Swap
I got the Mac on Monday, and the seller actually shipped the wrong one. (Ebay) The specs on the one I bought were G4 466 Dig Aud, DVD rom, 40gb hd, 512 Mb Ram. What I got was: G4 533Mhz Dig Aud, CD-rom, 20gb HD, 512Mb Ram, with Tiger and MS Office already Installed. I cloned the little drive to an 80Gb 7200 WD I already had, added another 100Gb slave, a Dual layer DVD burner, and a 5 port USB 2.0 card, and another 256Mb of Ram. I have a 2.4 ghz wireless pci card, but I can't get it to work for some reason. Any way after it was all said and done, this little guy really runs as sweet as honey! I have scrapped the idea of trying to use that QS Processor. I may in the future buy one of the OWC upgrade cards for it, but for right now, I am happy with it. I haven't had a Mac in a long time, (Color Classic) and I can't believe the performance of such a slow clock speed cpu. It could hold it's own against any PIII, and probably alot of older PIV's. So thanks for the input, but If I had run the Mac first, I wouldn't have even considered needing to get more clock cycles out of it. -- 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.

LOL I am going to be doing some other upgrades later, but wanted to get a faster processor first. Thanks! The simplest way to increase speed is to max out memory followed by replacing the, (if by chance the original Apple), hard drive drive. You would be surprised on just how much improvement can be had. Modifying a faster processor from a later machine can open a can of worms. Rather than do that, I would just look for a later model of machine IF that is what you really want. Just my 2ยข worth...

Re: Digital Audio Processor Swap
If you can't get the 733 working, you should at least overclock your CPU to 533 MHz.
