Apple intentionally designed its processors so they COULD NOT be interchanged, between the 100 MHz bus models and the 133 MHz bus models and, indeed, amongst 133 MHz bus models. Not so, with Giga-Designs, and perhaps others. The physical connector is the same between 100 MHz and 133 MHz, but the location is quite different. Also, there is the issue of overlap of the ATA port connector (133 MHz proc in a 100 MHz machine) and overlap of the RAM sockets (100 MHz proc in a 133 MHz machine). Also, the power system is different between the two 133 MHz bus machines (DA and QS). Giga-Designs carefully worked around the physical and electrical differences, and produced single and dual processors which can accommodate ALL of these differences, in one product, both by jumper selection and by mounting of the fan unit. -- 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.
