Hello
I want to gather information about cpu upgrades for the G4 "Sawtooth" (not upgrade cards like Sonnet stuff) so that i know what to find for a future upgrade.
First: My Mac is a 400Mhz G4 AGP slot 2x, i want to know if i can swap the cpu card from that mac with the faster cpu from that family, in that case, a 500Mhz cpu.
Second: Can i swap the 400Mhz cpu for a Dual 500Mhz cpu from the "Gigabit Ethernet" model?
Third: Can i swap it with a cpu from a "Digital Audio" model?
I know that my Mac has a multiplier of 4.0x and a bus speed of 100Mhz and that the FBS can be changed soldering or desoldering resistors on the motherboard. But how is the multiplier controlled? Is it defined by the cpu?
Well that's it. Thanks for any info!
