[QUOTE="68RC040, post: 1564398, member: 319821"] Hi Nick, they came from a Dual 2.5GHz G5 tower (the whole Daughter Card with heatsinks that connect to the logic board) that the power supply went south, so I installed these CPUs on a G5 Dual 1.8 Machine out from the 2.5, it chimes,light comes on, and Boots to the Apple logo, thats as far as it goes. I am thinking this swap can work with possibly a Firmware trick. it just seems so darn close. [/QUOTE]
