Reducing the bus speed is only required for some of the higher speed (i.e.,
>800mhz) third-party upgrades. It's actually the same for G3 and G4 upgrades
at those speeds. Look at something like a 1Ghz G3 upgrade for for
information.
Now... For a simple upgrade like swapping in a Yikes! G4 into a B&

Bus speed is a ratio of processor speed.
An 800 MHz G4 would leave the bus at 100 MHz, I believe.
For normal work flow, the faster processor is better - even tho th

This is disconcerting.

You need a patch, even with the Zif from a Yikes! You do not need any
additional software, however.
The patch from any Vendor should work... Personally I prefer the NewerTech
