will DA processor fit in Gigabit?

2010-08-06 Thread Geke
I just got a Gigabit with a Sonnet Encore ST/G4 1GHz processor upgrade inside. Now I want to swap that Sonnet with the 466MHz cpu in my Digital Audio, but before I do that, I wanted to check two things here: 1. How tricky is it to put the DA's CPU into the Gigabit? The CPU is the same, but I read

The cheapo adapters only provide a single voltage, which will power the drive, but won't allow it to operate in lower-power mode, and doesn't support hot swap. Read the article I put in my post. On Fri, Aug 6, 2010 at 15:03, Jeffrey Engle macgu...@gmail.com wrote: On Aug 6, 2010, at 12:52 PM,

I can't agree with that. A P4 is the definition of hype verses performance. My G4 933 mhz Quicksilver is more responsive then a P4 at twice the clock speed and the ram is PC133 on my QS and it is still the better machine. P4s were not even that great with windows. Plus a P4 is basically a

I need to be more clear of my intentions. I'm using an internal Firmtek 1V4 card to connect 4 sata drives inside my MDD powermac All I want to do is switch the stock molex power connectors with sata without using an adapter to achieve this? I will not be using the 3.3v connection

The Short Answer: Yes a bad cpu can give you a good Power On Self Test Chime. What you do is keep downclocking the CPU till it eventually gives you video and boots. You may even have to go to the lowest setting your motherboard allows before it does gives video and boots. If a CPU has been
