Sometimes I don't know what I'm getting myself into. I picked up a quantity of 15+ PowerPC G3 and G4 processors of the same ZIFF socket type. The same type used in the G3 beige, G3 B&W, and earlier G4 models.
I want to find the easiest and safest way to test them all. I do happen to have an XLR8 Carrier Ziff CPU-Slot upgrade card, but I don't want to blow it up. I also have a very nice condition beige G3 Mac, and a presently non-working G3 B&W. Can G4 CPUs be tested in the Beige G3/XLR8 Carrier Ziff safely? Should I buy a G4 just for testing these things out?
Thoughts ?
