Does anyone know if the processor from a Quicksilver G4 can be used in
a Sawtooth G4 (G4-AGP)? Someone just got an upgrade processor
for his Quicksilver, and is willing to sell me their old processor for
$50. Don't want to buy it unless it will work in my Sawtooth (G4/400 AGP).

Thanks,
Beverly

Sorry, No. Your G4-AGP (as well as the gigabit ethernet models) has a
100 MHz bus while the Quicksilver has a 133MHz bus. I probably
shouldn't give you an absolute no, because the Quicksilver CPU might
run and if it does, it will be at a reduced speed and may be
unreliable. My only advise is to buy it, sell it on ebay for $75 and
use that money towards maybe an OWC 800 MHz Mercury Extreme upgrade.
