MacOsX10.5LeopardUser macrumors newbie Oct 14, 2023 3 3 Nov 26, 2023 #2 no because of its 750CX CPU its not pin compatible with any g4 ever made (7400 or 7410). Last edited: Nov 30, 2023 Reactions: Certificate of Excellence and dosdude1
Certificate of Excellence macrumors 65816 Feb 9, 2021 1,173 1,709 Nov 26, 2023 #3 I think the guy to ask who may know would be @dosdude1 . IIRC he has upgraded g3 iMacs to g4 cpus. Reactions: MacOsX10.5LeopardUser
Nermal Moderator Staff member Dec 7, 2002 21,301 5,063 New Zealand Nov 26, 2023 #4 The G3 iMacs have the CPU on a card, but I don't think that's the case in any iBook. I imagine, due to space constraints, that there's no room to fit any sort of "adapter" in there. Reactions: Certificate of Excellence
