What's the reason that a CPU from an MDD won't work in a Quicksilver or other G4?
• Bus speed: 133MHz vs 167MHz?
• Difference/incompatibility in the ROM?
• Physical size: MDD card & heatsink won't fit?
• Power draw: the power draw of dual 7455s is too much for the QS PSU?
Or are there other reasons?
I have 2 MDDs with broken PSUs in my cupboard and a recently acquired 733MHz QS.
733MHz is a grand speed but if I can simply transplant one of the CPUs, I would have a faster QS.
