Digital Audio CPU Upgrade Options
« on: June 17, 2026, 04:38:41 PM »
I have recently acquired a top end PowerMac G4 733 Digital audio. I got it to replace my Dual 500 Gigabit Ethernet model that had its PSU die on me. However, although they are similar in performance, its still a single cpu system. I would like to know if it is a viable option to put a dual 7450 cpu board from a quicksilver into this system, even if I have to run it slower.

Im only considering this because the Quicksilver and the Digital audio motherboard look very similar, but I did hear that the quicksilver has a worse DAC than the Digital audio.

Any thoughts on the matter?
