You may also want to power a fan unit, and that requires +12 volts and +12 volts return.

How do you get the quicksilvers processors to work?

With a very easy mod you can also put a processor from a Quick Silver into your DA. I have used single processors from QS's into DAs with no problem. Meanwhile, I have had no luck with trying to get dual 1GHz processors working in my DA, but others on the list have had no problems. If you go the QS processor route, avoid the 733 and single 800. These do not have a level 3 cache and will run barely faster than your single 533. There was a single 867 on the swap list (either yesterday or today) for $30, and that would be almost as fast as a dual 533. Remember that 10.4 will run on that Mac with any processor, but to run 10.5 without a relatively easy software hack you need to have at least a 867 in it. As far as I have heard, 10.6 will be Intel Mac only, so don't count on there even being a decent hack to get it to work on a G series Mac.

Single 533MHZ processor upgrade to dual??
I just got a Digital Audio single 533MHZ powermac for $25 on craigslist. I know that Apple made a dual processor version of this same powermac.
