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?

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.

Hi Jim,
That link is dead.

Hmmm. It was up yesterday, and I haven't seen anything about them being out of business or anything like that. I can't get there either. Perhaps they've got server issues. Keep trying, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], or call 408-562-3900. They're related to Allmac, and they're located in the SF Bay Area. I can't get to the Allmac web site either, so it must be server problems.
