[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1334871, member: 56379"] Of course everyone would like to add an Intel cpu to their old Powerbook G4 for $30 bucks...but it just doesn't work that way!;) As I mentioned...ALL Powerbook G4's have a soldered & integrated cpu (they are NOT removable or replaceable). And even if this was possible to remove & replace the cpu on a Powerbook G4 logic board (which it isn't)...there's no way you would be able to replace a G4 cpu with an Intel cpu. They are TOTALLY different "animals"...probably wouldn't even be the same "form-factor" or number of pins. - Nick p.s. By the way (just for fun).:) You mentioned earlier in this thread... [i]"Intel boards, especially the older ones have had CPUs that you could replace as they go bad due to overheating."[/i] Can you please show me an example of this? Since again...I reviewed the early Intel MacBook specs...and all of these logic boards have a "soldered & integrated" cpu...which is NOT removable or replaceable (at least not by your average DIY home computer user). Like I said...please show me this just for fun. If this is possible...I want to know about it!:) [/QUOTE]
