Well .. I tool the plunge (or stick pin) and changed my Yikes! G4/400
to a G4/450.
Still testing, but seems smooth thus far.
Man ... those jumpers are tiny! and at first, it didn't work ... had
to go back in and adjust the jumper so it would match the others more
closely ... needed to "move" the center part about the width of 1/2 a
stick pin diameter ... also had to use the PCI Graphics won't power
up technique of getting it all going again ...

> Comments? Worth the 11% increase in cpu power?
Xbench says about 12% (tested while using XLR8 MACh Speed Control
(cpu speed 448.0, L2 cache 224.4).
Wish me luck ... temp rose from 24C to 28C.
Pushed it some with iTunes Visualizer and DVD Player.
I will be grateful and stop here.
Thanks,
