Greetings Macrumors!
As many of you know, i recently picked up a 1ghz Dp G4 that i believe has a failed motherboard. As i know the PSU works as ive tested it using another G4 PSU.
What my question is and it is a long shot. I have an old Beige G3 desktop.. For some reason i love this G3. Yes its beige, its ugly the plastic is weakening but it flies in OS9 and even 10.2.
But here is my question. I have no other Powermac to test the 1ghz DP G4 so is it possible to throw that into the G3 temporarily as i know that massive heat sink wont allow me to close the optical drive level.
Ive seen people put 500Mhz and 800Mhz into these machines and boot leopard, but will the 1Ghz DP work? I wanted to use the AGP card that was in the quicksilver in this machine but sadly no AGP here.
I sadly wont have time until after exams to do this but im curuious would it work and how to do it?
