Hi all - I have a PowerMac G4 MDD that is the dual firewire 400 model with dual 867MHz G4s on the CPU module. Just picked up a dual 1.25GHz CPU module off of eBay and plugged it in and nothing. Plugged the 867MHz module back in and all is good again.
I opened up a return with the seller and he mentioned that this dual 1.25GHz CPU module would only work with a PowerMac G4 MDD with both firewire 400 and 800, and not with the model I have (firewire 400 only). To make matters worse, he said I probably killed the card when trying to run it.
A quick search on the google doesn't turn anything up about compatibility issues with multiple versions of the CPU module card for PowerMac G4 MDDs, so thought I check here if anyone is familiar with this.
Thanks!
