Andreas, I'm no hardware expert but, even if some (or just ONE) hardware part is different, it might very well be the reason the processor doesn't work... and NOT because it's dead (like you are speculating). It's not like a nail, that you can push it down eventually, even if it's not the right size. ;-) I think Apple hardware might be especially "sensitive": I just tested some Ram sticks I found out, but I couldn't read their specifics. In my PM G4 they didn't work: the Mac didn't boot at all. The same sticks in a common PC worked fine: I discovered they are PC100 (that's why my Mac, needing PC133 Ram, didn't like them). I think that PC uses PC133 as well, but it's not that much "sensitive" so it runs the PC100 fine - but my Mac doesn't. I think you better investigate about the new processor compatibility. Putting it into the "wrong" Mac could even be dangerous to it. -- 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.
