Re: 1Ghz G3 upgrade?

I've had experience with both the Sonnet the OWC CPU upgrades. They're both excellent - rock solid! I've never heard of a dual G4 400 - 500 in ZIF form before. I pretty certain these were only made for the AGP G4 machines. They're a daughter card rather than a ZIF, so they're not compatible

Oops! I forgot to mention that as far as I know, the fastest G4 ZIF card is a G4 600 mhz processor from Daystar. They're not cheap, but not extravagant either. I've never used one, but was very tempted when I was running Blue Whites. Scott Birdwell DeFalco's Home Wine Beer Supplies Houston

Howdy, That items is just a zif CPU. This is a noticeably faster CPU than the one in my BW. Can anyone comment on whether my current heatsink is likely to be good enough? I have the stock 350 MHz G3 at the moment. Good day, Ralph On Wed, 2009-12-16 at 11:08 -0800, Bruce Godfrey wrote: Here
