[QUOTE="pinto79, post: 1632571, member: 167075"] An update for those who are interested. I got my hands on an MDD FW800 model with the Dual 1.25 GHz configuration. The Power Supply is dead and I'm guessing that the Ethernet doesn't work as a previous owner installed a DLink Ethernet card... I found a video showing how to remove and replace the Processor Board, so I tried it. I now have a Dual 1.25 MDD. With 2 GB of ram and the fastest IDE hard drive I had lying around I have a decent little machine. It's quite a bit faster than it was. At least it's more responsive/snappy and smoother overall. The donor machine had the same Radeon 9000 video card as my original machine, so I put it in my Sawtooth (G4 AGP) machine and gave it a much needed graphics performance boost. I also pulled the processor board form the Sawtooth to have a peek... maybe I can find a dual 500 for it... Thanks again for your help guys! [/QUOTE]
