Will a QS2002 Dual-1GHz CPU work in a QS?
Hi! Merely out of confusion: Will a Dual-1GHz G4 processor card, which obviously comes from a QS2002, work in an original QS from 2001? I ask because I've read an item description on eBay once stating that the Dual-800 is the highest usable stock processor for the original QS. The seller specifically discouraged buying the Dual-1 GHz processor card due to incompatibility. True? Or just a marketing strategy that worked? I have such Dual-800 MHz processor right now, but I'm thinking about giving it this other 2×200 MHz boost… That is, if I can sell the Dual-800 for a reasonable price. BUT… before I can do that, I need to know for sure if the Dual-1 GHz QS2002 has any issues in a QS2001. Because otherwise (both cases) I'll have to wipe the dream of 2×1 GHz out of my mind… Anyone ever done such an /upgrade?/ Thanks, Andreas aka Mac User #330250 -- 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.

Actually, the only significant difference is the ROM on the mobo, and it DOES NOT support LBA48 in the QS 2001, whereas it DOES support LBA48 in the QS 2002. I have several QS 2001 Macs which have had dual 1.0 GHz QS 2002 procs installed.

Speaking of LBA48... Yellow Dog Linux and Debian Linux both report and use the full 250 GB (because that is the size of my HD) in my QS 2001. But Mac OS 10.5 sees it as a 128 GB drive. I know this has nothing to do with the thread. But good info none the less.

I know this has nothing to do with the thread. But good info none the less. MacOS X is pretty blind. It is depending upon the Open Firmware definition of the two ATA channels. On any Macs which have a Key Largo ATA chip, you may override the O.F. definition with a patch. Either one or both channels. As the patch is persistent in the read-only storage, it is good until the PRAM is reset. Unlike the High Cap kext, the O.F. patch is good at all times. -- 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.
