I have a single 400 MHz G4 with heatsink, and purchased two Dual-450 MHz G4s with heatsink and two more without heatsink on eBay. One deal was the processor with heatsink, another one was tree Dual-450s with only one heatsink for only $10 with shipping, so I got weak :-) > I think they all need it, or at least they'd be happy to > have it buttered on, no? On the heatsinks there is some black foil or something, and this is original stuff. It doesn't come off (normally) when you remove the heatsink. I don't know if this would go so well with thermal paste. The first Mac I encountered to use thermal paste is my G4 Quicksilver (originally single 733 MHz, but now Dual-800 MHz). But I've never seen a Digital Audio for real, so I don't know about them. Up to and including the Gigabit Ethernet there seems to be no need for thermal paste. > >But if you really want computing power… > I think we're getting a little off-topic here… Yes, sorry about that… Cheers, Andreas aka Mac User #330250 -- 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.
