Don't bother upgrading your blue and white or beige G3 anymore. It is
much more cost efficient to upgrade to a G4 with an AGP slot. Not only
will the CPU be faster than the stock one in your G3 machine but
you'll have access to more powerful video cards and a faster system
bus. G4's also run Tiger

Yes. I too am amazed. I actually own several XLR8 CPUs, and never saw
one of these units.
I've had experience with both the Sonnet the OWC CPU upgrades.
They're both excellent - rock solid! I've never heard of a dual G4
400 - 500 in ZIF form before. I pretty certain these were only made
for the AGP G4 machines. They're a daughter card rather than a ZIF,
so they're not compatible
Oops! I forgot to mention that as far as I know, the fastest G4 ZIF
card is a G4 600 mhz processor from Daystar. They're not cheap, but
not extravagant either. I've never used one, but was very tempted
when I was running Blue Whites.

do you have to have some sorta rom patch?? to allow the BW G3 to run
one of these drop in cpu's? I have this BW and a Beige g3 that need
that extra little pick me up and was thinking of a cpu upgrade, if
inexpensive enough and compatible..

Howdy,
That items is just a zif CPU. This is a noticeably faster CPU than the
one in my BW. Can anyone comment on whether my current heatsink is
likely to be good enough? I have the stock 350 MHz G3 at the moment.
Good day,

Anyone had any experience with these? I'm pretty tempted. Things
holding me back are the need to give them another $13 or something to

It sure would be nice to boost one of the smurfs

If it would run like my iMacs G3 700 MHz I think you'll be very happy with
10.4.11 on the machine.
I would like to stuff something like this in a Cube to get it up to 1.8 dual.
But those are too much $$.

I'm new to the list too, but I'm sure that a smurf(smurftower?) is a
Power Mac G3 Blue and White, and a MolarMac is an All in One Power Mac
G3 (sold only for the education market). When you look for their
profiles in LEM you can find their nicknames.
Sorry about my english.

FYI... read the fine print. The PowerLogix won't run OS X higher than
10.9.4. I have one in a 400MHz BW and works great. It runs at 1GHz
under OS9 and 500MHz under 10.4.11. I have a 10.4.9 partition for
doing specific things where it runs at 1GHz.

If $ 13 is holding you back, relax and wait a while. Wait for the rain
to accumulate. There's always that better deal next time anyway. You
know that.
Go back to ebay when the time is right. You'll get an awesome deal on
a G4. The one that says you'll love me, I have great specs and I'm a

Yep, spotted the lack of 10.4.11 support. They do link to a daystar
program that apparently fixes it for $12.95, care to volunteer to test
it? Then you could dump the special partition
