Title: Wanted: G4 CPU Upgrade for PowerMac G4 Cube
Post by: Knezzen on February 03, 2015, 11:44:29 PM

Hi!

There seems to be a shortage of G4 CPU upgrades on ebay right now, so I thought I'd try here.
Does anyone have a G4 upgrade for sale? Anything above 1.2ghz is interesting, preferably a Sonnet Encore/ST Duet 1.8ghz or something like that  -afro-

Does anyone have one laying around? :)

Thanks!

Nope. It's mostly the power converter (VRM) that's the problem. All Sonnet upgrade from the Encore series works, even the Dual 1.8ghz one.

Attached is an Excel document of working upgrades for the Cube.
