Hello If I may add another thought here. How about heat dissipation considerations as a limiting factor ? On my B&W, V1 heat sink, the stock 350 ZIF CPU temperature ran around 32C with 22C ambient( see BTW 2, below) When I upgraded to the G4 500 ZIF , and even changed to the larger V2 heatsink, the CPU ran around 43C. With a 1 GHz ZIF, Who knows what the CPU temp. would increase too - !!!!!(?). Maybe the internal B&W fan , as now designed, would not remove enough heat from the box , resulting in degrading if not destroying the ZIF (?) BTW 1. I mounted a small axial fan on top of my heatsink, in the sucking air out direction (up) , and the ZIF now runs around 38C BTW2. Measuring temperature using a Radio Shack Temperature Assembly with its temperature probe contacting the center, flat part of the heat sink. albert -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
