I also ordered a 1.6 processor without heatsink yesterday to use the old 1.6 board with it to build up a 2nd frankenmac. Does anyone have a complete HEATSINK (with all partes needed) or a DEAD Processor with heatsink? (the heatsink is the last missing part that i need)

ok it took me a little bit to get all parts but finally it works - YOU CAN UPGRADE YOUR G5 1.6 to 1.8GHz with a new processor - systembus will raise to 900mhz too!

i did it this night
