I replaced the stock 300 Mhz CPU from my 8600 with a NewerTech G3/300. I was wondering if the 8600/300 CPU would work in a 8500. Also, I was looking at the back of the CPU card and I noticed 4 pairs of solder joints labeled 250 Mhz, 300 Mhz, 350 Mhz, and 400 Mhz. The pair labeled 300 Mhz appears to have a chip soldered between the 2 joints. Would it be possible to remove the chip from the 300 joints and solder it in to the 400 joints? Has any one else experimented with these things like that?
