If you install the heat sink correctly, and the fan is in good condition, you will never in your lifetime "wear out" that dual 533. The QS and DA, and the earlier gigabits, are so very similar in electrical design (although there are many obvious differences) that a system generated for a QS will work on an earlier model. At one point, I think it was 10.3.<something> I could move the same 160 GB drive (boot and systems from 10.3 to 10.5, including Server) and 500 GB piggy-back drive (data) from a Smurf (G3) to a DA (G4) and anything in between. Of course, you can't do that with 10.4 or 10.5 on account of the G3 not being supported, but you can do that to almost every model which is at least a G4 (whether gigabit, or not). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
