G4 pin-grid array Processors from "first G4" desktops will work in a B&W, but this requires a firmware patch which is easily available. I traded a megahertz for megahertz G4s for the G3s in two of my B&Ws, and I was disappointed. I ultimately went with the 533 and 1000 MHz G3s instead. I can see that the 533 MHz G3 upgrades are no longer available, however the 1000 MHz upgrades still are. http://eshop.macsales.com/item/PowerLogix/PFZGX10001M/ OWC also sells a G4 upgrade for the same systems, but it is only one- half as fast, and it is one-and-a-half times as expensive. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
