It's an XLR8 processor that has the pins on it. I've also overclocked an XLR8 G4/300 to 400 (tried 450 but the system kept crashing). I used Arctic Silver Thermal Paste, the original heatsink that came with the B&W but I've modified it by attaching a heatsink fan to it. As for software I was using Mach Speed Control from Daystar (they sell the XLR8 processors), but I've switched to the Powerlogix CPU Director. As a side note I've also overclocked an Apple G3/300 processor (the original processor from my B&W) to 450 using an XLR8 carrier card in my 9500. It seemed stable for awhile but then programs began crashing after a period of use. I'm guessing the cheap heat sink that came with the card wasn't good enough. You should check out xlr8yourmac.com for people's personal experiences with overclocking or CPU replacement. Good luck! -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
