[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 691520, member: 42497"] Will not work as they are completely different. Best bet is a CPU upgrade similar to what OWC and Sonnet sell. Go to OWC at [url]www.macsales.com[/url] and look over their CPU upgrades, which will include the Sonnet. Once you have new prices then look at eBay etc. Look for CPU upgrades with the 2MB L3 cache as they are really fast and anything over 1GHz will handle Leopard no problems. Have used the Mercury Extreme upgrades and they have the advantage of adjustable jumper settings for both 100 and 133MHz bus speeds. The fastest standard processor you G4 will handle will be a 500MHz DP from a Gigabit Ethernet. [/QUOTE]
