Hi,
I bought an used 466Mhz Tangent PowerMac G4 for very little money to fool around with, and I need a spare machine. It comes with 384MB SDRAM, I have somewhere 2x256MB SDRAM laying around from my Athlon, but I want to extent it to 1.5GB (or 2GB if possible) anyways to make it a bit more useful on Tiger.
I browsed a bit around on eBay, but most 133MHz SDRAMs state that they don't work with any Mac.
Do they need to be low density to run in that particular machine? The "Buying RAM Guide" states it only for G3 and 100MHz G4 machines, not for 133MHz G4.
Also, can I exchange the CPU board with a 733MHz from a Quicksilver G4, or even 867MHz or 933MHz one? If it's up to me, they look all the same, and have the same 133MHz FSB. What about dual CPU boards up to 1GHz w/ 133MHz FSB, if I'm that lucky to find one?
Regards
Edit: It's 133MHz, because it's a 466MHz Tangent and no 450MHz Sawtooth, as I thought. Even better.
