Re: will DA processor fit in Gigabit?

To finish off this thread (at least the title topic) and for the record: -The Digital Audio's 466MHz does fit -- as is -- into the Gigabit. So no soldering needed there, it's not even too tight. -The processor runs at 350MHz, just as Len predicted. However, I can't get the Sonnet card to work in

Thanks everyone for the great response. The soldering Len mentioned was enough for me to forget about the option of putting the DA's processor into the Gigabit. And then, today I discovered that original 400MHz processors for the Gigabit can be found on ebay for less than 15$, so I decided to

I just got a Gigabit with a Sonnet Encore ST/G4 1GHz processor upgrade inside. Now I want to swap that Sonnet with the 466MHz cpu in my Digital Audio, but before I do that, I wanted to check two things here: 1. How tricky is it to put the DA's CPU into the Gigabit? The CPU is the same, but I read

I can't agree with that. A P4 is the definition of hype verses performance. My G4 933 mhz Quicksilver is more responsive then a P4 at twice the clock speed and the ram is PC133 on my QS and it is still the better machine. P4s were not even that great with windows. Plus a P4 is basically a
