Good morning!
So i have a G4 with gigabit Ethernet running at 400MHz (4x100), 512MB PC133 (4x128). I have a dual G4 533 (4x133) in my possession and would like to install it. Now to fit this i will have to remove and/or relocate the IDE connector, but before i go through this i was wondering if the chip would even work in the system.
I know with only a 100MHz FSB it will only run (if it even does) at 400MHz, but if i mod the multiplier to x5.5, would it work at 550 (5.5x100)? I'm not sure how flexible these chips are in that manner. IF it will only run at 400 (again assuming that it may work at all) it would still be 2x the CPU that's in there now, but i don't know how well it would perform with the miss matched bus speeds.
Has anyone tried a similar project? Any input?
Thanks!
