Okay, I've just acquired a 2002 MDD Power Mac (1.25GHz DP) and gotten it up and running. It's quite a nice machine, but I've noticed that it's running a bit hot, even though the fans are working fine. Since the CPU is swappable, and since it's primarily an OS9 box and thus the dual-processor setup isn't that much of an advantage, I've been wondering if it might not be better to swap the CPU daughterboard out for a single-processor one, to cut down on the heat. I'm just wondering, if I could locate a 1.42-2GHz single-CPU module, is that still going to be a lower heat output than a single 1.25GHz CPU? I'd assume so, but I've never done anything with serious Mac upgrading before.
Anyway, would anybody be interested in swapping a 1.25GHz+ single-CPU board for my dual-1.25GHz board? I'm sure someone here could probably make better use of it.
