Title: Processor Switch? Post by: .vooDoo. on August 20, 2002, 05:50:26 pm Ok, here is the question. Normally this would be a question for Grifter, but....
I recently bought an imac G4, 700mhz for work. It doesnt really need to be 700mhz so my question is...can I switch my 400mhz sawtooth g4 tower processor with the imac 700mhz processor???If anyone can answer this question it would be very helpfull. thx VooD's (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/beer.gif) Title: Re:Processor Switch?

Title: Re:Processor Switch? Post by: |MP|Buccaneer on August 20, 2002, 09:07:33 pm It probably wont work. The 700's processor is probably on a daughter card (with the level 3 cashe and stuff). While the 400 is probably a ZIF (zero insertion force). So it wouldn't just fit.
Plus, the motherboards and RAM are at different speeds in the two machines. Your best bet is take the 400 into work and the 700 home ;) Title: Re:Processor Switch?

The correct thing to do is randomly choose one of your computers and send it to me. I'll send u my G3. Then the processor will blah blah blah... Title: Re:Processor Switch? Post by: Typhy on August 21, 2002, 07:51:39 am You send me the G4, I send you the old Powercenter 150 I got in the closet.
