[QUOTE="mac57, post: 300782, member: 17052"] How about an alternate approach... despite Googling for it, I cannot find such a thing, but Freescale must have a roadmap for the PowerPC chips. What comes next after the G5 chips (PPC970, I believe?)? Is there going to be a "G6", or a faster G5? I wonder if someone could design a daughter board which was plug compatible with the G5 pin grid, that could bring a faster processor to current PowerMac G5 owners? To do this, the daughter card would need a faster processor and a lot of on board cache, since the front side bus speed can't be changed. Has anyone heard of such an effort? I bet there would be quite an audience for such a thing... if Freescale is enhancing the PPC chips in the first place! [/QUOTE]
