I got a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver (original from 2001) with a Single-733 MHz processor. It was terribly slow, at least compared to what I was used to (a Dual 1 GHz MDD). I then bought a Dual-800 MHz processor card that also came from a QS (original, 2001) and replaced the original processor with this new “upgrade”. No problems. No running hot. No issues. It was running quite a lot, often at 100% CPU usage (compiling Gentoo Linux…) – all stable, but nowerdays it mostly switched off since I have a new PC. > I up-clocked my 733 to 800, and gave up ... too hot. I've now overclocked a Dual-450 to 500 MHz (came from a GE) in my Power Mac G4 AGP, originally Single-400 MHz. I haven't stess-tested it yet, but it did run stable for at least two hours with the processor level was quite high at times. > Bought a dual 1000 for it. Of course, a Dual-1 GHz would be the best for a QS – max'd out so to say.
