Mac Specs: PowerMac G4: 533MHz, 128MB RAM, 40g HD. iPod 4g Nano 2nd Gen
Power Mac - PowerMac G4 Processor Question.

So I have a digital audio PowerMac, with the 533MHz processor.

I plan on purchasing this processor. http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other...ng/MEG42M1200/

How would I go about putting it in and everything? Do I keep the 533MHz one or replace it?

I'm such a noob haha

You've never taken a computer before??
First off, watch for static electricity. Any amount will kill the processor or logic board and render them useless. Buy a magnetic bracelet or keep some object of metal on ur body to keep you from building any static.
I've never taken a PowerMac before so I do not know how to remove the processor. I would assume there instructions online or with the upgraded processor.
I've built my own PC's and its simple, just find the handle that locks the processor from the motherboard , left it up, and the processor comes right off. Of course remove the fan and such but it appears these only use the heat shields (metal looking teeth.)
Good luck.
Bryan

Hi, I know this answer is a bit late, but I just came across it.

The same site you purchased the processor from has video instructions for installing lots of components. The processor instructions are here:

Good luck, if you haven't already installed it!
