Q700 CPU into LC 575?

2003-12-31 Thread Michael Dawe
Anyone taken a '040 CPU from a 25/50MHz Q700 and installed it onto a 33/66MHz LC 575 mobo? Results? My experience so far has been a tad flakey :( Anyone had OK-ish results? Wishfully hoping to hear I haven't made a big boo boo. (but am brave enough to cope, otherwise) :) Happy new Year

Not a big boo boo, but 040s tend to get quite hot when overclocked, add a heatsink and maybe a fan too. --- Michael Dawe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anyone taken a '040 CPU from a 25/50MHz Q700 and installed it onto a 33/66MHz LC 575 mobo? Results? My experience so far has been a tad

This isn't really an answer to your question, but I did successfully transplant a full 040 from a Quadra 650 with dead SCSI to a Quadra 605. The 040 chip in the Q650 had a heat sink attached to it, whereas the Q605 didn't have one (being only a 680LC40). Luckily, the new 040 fit perfectly in

I got a Performa 475 for free, I would like to put NetBSD or another unix-type language on it to use it as a firewall, because of it's low power use. I can't use Linux because of the LC040 chip, but I think it would run fine with the 36 meg of RAM it has and another OS. Do I need two ethernet
