I have an Encore Zif upgrade in the Beige that should also work in the G4. Does that mean that I can take the ZIF from the (I hope I have the terminology correct) G4 and put it in the Beige? My ZIF upgrade is 500mhz. I overclocked my yikes 400 mhz to 450 (with a fan). I tried 500 and i got an error on boot, but I might try it again (resetting the inside switch and pram 3 times - i am not sure I did this the first time, maybe my intuition was telling me better burn in the 450 first) I thought that the upgrades for beige were 550 rated ? your speed depends on the jumper settings... If i got a 550 I was going to try it at 600, or a 500 at 533... (with the fan which is large). I did overclock my beige and have some success at 466 (except in warm weather - I didn't try a fan and in the DT model there is not room for bigger heat sink). BTW I hung the fan below the dvd by string around it. Interested to hear your results. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

My ZIF upgrade is 500mhz. If the G4 you have is a Yikes, aka pci graphics, then, yes, the processors are swappable. If your G4 is is a Sawtooth, (with agp graphics) then, no, the processors are not swappable. According to MacTracker, the fastest Yikes was a 400 MHz. So unless you have a Yikes with an upgraded processor, the odds are that the processors are NOT swappable.
