A minor caveat on installing a G4 in a B&W. Before installing the G4, you also have to install a firmware patch which removes the block on G4s. Also, based on a bad personal experience, I'd be wary of installing a G4 from a Yikes in a Rev. 1 B&W.

Completely different method of mounting the CPU. What might be possible is to transfer the entire guts of the G4 into the G3 case but that's about all. If any of those G3's are still working you could consider going on ebay and picking up a G4 CPU from a Yikes! as those will swap right in to a G3 motherboard and they're usually pretty cheap. You hardly see them over $20 anymore and most of the time they are under $15. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
