MacOsX10.5LeopardUser macrumors newbie 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 68020 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 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

dosdude1 macrumors 68030 Nov 27, 2023 #5 As mentioned before, not possible due to use of PPC750CXe CPU, which does not share footprint/pinout with any G4 CPU. Reactions: MacOsX10.5LeopardUser and Certificate of Excellence
