Even better, GeIL copper/silicone blend paste. Better then Arctic Silver, although Arctic Silver is fine for everyday uses (and to admit it, GeIL copper paste is hard to get ahold of)

Evening all.....
Just upgraded a friend's G3/300 Beige tower with a Sonnet G4/700. Nice
improvement. Now I have his old G3/300 ZIF and heat sink laying around
and wondered if it would work in my sister's Beige G3/233 desktop.
Seems like it would be a nice little bump up in speed for zero outlay.
will work fine for ALMOST zero outlay. You will need to remove the
jumper block on the motherboard and place individual jumpers to set the
speed. See:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Tech/Load_Page.cfm?page=beigejumpers.html
for how to set the jumpers. You should be able to overclock the 300 to 333 with no ill effects.
The almost zero outlay is for the jumpers. you can probably get them off the swap list for the just over the cost of shipping. I got some for free, just for asking, at my local pc shop.
HTH, Len
I'd also suggest using good thermal paste (Arctic Silver?) between heat sink & cpu when you install it.
The nice thing about GeIL Paste is that it's non-conductive, so if you get a little too much, it's not too big of a problem.
