That was kind of my thinking (granted I am not a computer guru but I
do know a few things). I was also thinking I could disable one of the
CPU's (which I think is an option since it does boot to the apple logo
but just hangs there) and just run a single core which I have helped a
friend out with
no, no, no, and no. (i think that's enough nos.) the 1.8 and 2.0
models had different mobo clock speeds. you cannot swap a 1.8 for a
2.0. furthermore, if you replace one processor, sot only does it have
to be the same clock speed, it must be with a processor that is
identical to the other.

I remember reading how you can modify the firmware with a semi-
I just need to get my hands on it and see what will happen when I do
the firmware command and run with a single processor, and as for
switching the processor I will just go the route of new dual's with
same model number if above doesn't work and for the thermal
calibration I do have my hands on
I am thinking of scooping up locally a powermac G5 2.0 DP PCI-X 2 with
bad cpu it has been tested at apple and thats what the tech told the
owner. My question is can I purchase a different CPU like a 1.8 and
install it? Any help would be useful and if I'm asking a poor
question just inform me
