Upgrade a Dual 1.8 Ghz Power PC G5

Hello

Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the insides of my current Dual 1.8 Ghz Power PC G5 to a Multicore Intel processor?

Any advice would be great

Not without rebuilding the ENTIRE computer.

Long story short.. it can be done but it would be far easier and maybe even cheaper to just buy a faster G5. Then you can sell the current tower and get a good chunk of the money you paid for a new one back.

It is crazy from time to time we still are seeing posts like this.

Here is the exact process for upgrading a G5 to an Intel CPU.
Step 1: Sell the Computer.
Step 2: Buy a Mac that has an Intel CPU.

Simple as that!
