Can I upgrade the G3 processor in my iMac DV SE to a G4? Is the processor hard wired into the logic board? Is it a ZIF type processor? Steve Haybeck Yes. Yes. No. To learn more about how I upgraded my iMac DV SE 400 to a G4/550, go here: http://www.fastmac.com/ProductPage/g4slimacup.html Fastmac did a very nice job with the cpu switch -- I couldn't even tell they had desoldered and soldered. Don't expect a blazing speed improvement, unless you're using programs that require the G4's Altivec capabilities. But there is a nice, noticeable overall speed boost as might be expected from a faster processor. -- Jim Scott Hi Jim, That link is dead. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
