Installing Dual 500mhz Processor from G4

I have a B&W G3 that currently has a 400mhz processor. I just salvaged a Dual 500mhz processor from a dying Powermac G4. How can I replace the processor? Will it work? thanks.

That dual G4 processor uses the 300-pin rectangular connector. The processor board is much larger, and is installed with three or four screws over as many posts on the motherboard.
The Blue & White G3 processors, like the beige G3 before them, and the very first "PCI-graphics" G4, use a 305-pin nearly square pin grid array inserted into a ZIF socket.
They are not compatible, and the signals have been changed -- there are no adapters.

  • Processor from Dual 450 Gigaethernet to 400 single AGP Graphics compatabil

    Can I put the duel 450 processors into single 400 mhz 100bus AGP Graphics G4?
    I have another older and smaller mac and want to know if, after uprading my Giga-ethernet G4 (100mhz bus) whether the processors from it can be fitted to the AGP Graphics machine?
    It has 1.12 gb ram
    Machine model is Powermac 3.1
    CPU type is Powerpc G4 (2.6)
    20 gig hard drive
    Any ideas?

    Hi
    I guess one option may be to upgrade the processor in the AGP Graphics machine instead. You could always swap some RAM and the hard drives etc between the two to make it your 'main' computer. As far as I'm aware the only advantages of the Gigabit Ethernet (other than gigabit ethernet and the fact they're slightly newer) are that some models came with dual processors and I think it also supports graphics cards with an ADC connector (unlike the AGP Graphics).

  • Installed photoshop cc (2014) and lost image processor from Bridge

    How do I get back Image Processor from the Tools drop down menu in Bridge?  I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Bridge and Photoshop and have no positive results.

    I know some modules went kablooey when I uninstalled Photoshop CC 14.x but I fixed it by uninstalling everything and reinstalling.
    Maybe try the CC Cleaner Tool?

  • Labview 7.1 and Dual Core Processors

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone has encountered any problems using Labview
    7.1 and the newer dual-core processors. I have a Dell Dimension DXPO51,
    2.8 GHz Pentium D with 1 GB ram. There is NO virus software or any
    other non-essential programs running in the background. The computer is
    totally dedicated to controlling a machine.
    Other NI boards installed: PCI-6221 for analog inputs, PCI-6602 for
    reading encoders, PCI-7352 Motion Control board to control 2 motors.
    The problem:
    Periodically when I start my program, it locks up and I get the "Tell
    Microsoft about this problem..." screen. After it exits out of Labview
    and I restart, the Run arrow is not broken but the program will not run
    until I make a change on the block diagram. Then I can run again.
    Doesn't happen all the time, doesn't happen after running after a
    certain amount of time, doesn't happen after a particular change is
    made (i.e. adding case statements, adding an event, etc.). In other
    words, totally random.
    I have tried totally uninstalling ALL National Instruments software,
    including cleaning the registry, and re-installing everything. Didn't
    help.
    The machine will be shipping with the executable file only but I'm still leary of problems arising due to this issue.
    Any help or suggestions of things to try would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Teri

    Hi Teri,
    I've seen scattered reports of users having trouble with dual-processor
    machines with earlier versions of LabVIEW, though I'm not aware of
    verified solutions in those cases.  The dual-processor operation
    should be completely transparent to LabVIEW, although I know XP has had
    some difficulties in providing the abstraction correctly.  A
    workaround that has been successful in the past is to set the processor
    affinity for LabVIEW to a single processor.  This should eliminate
    the dual-processor nature of the system from consideration.  If
    the problem still recurs after that, then the issue stems from another
    source and we can investigate further.  Does it show this behavior
    with any program (or just by opening the LabVIEW environment)? 
    How often does this occur (10%, 50% of the time)?
    Cheers,

  • Does dual-500MHz count as 1GHz? (minimum system requirement)

    Time to replace the ole B$W G3 so my daughter can use Garage Band and iDVD. I'm lookin' at a used Dual-500MHz G4, but iDVD '06 needs a minimum of 733MHz processor.

  • Upgrading Dual 450 Processor

    Good day all!
    I would like to upgrade the dual 450 processor in my G4(Gigabit Ethernet) to at least a dual 1gig. I know the MDD's don't/can't work, but what about other used apple processors (ie. quicksilver or the like)?
    I would like to keep the parts apple and although they are more rare than the MDD's they still pop up now and again.
    Are there any issues/limitations?
    Many Thanks,
    El Jefe de Biosmell

    Hi
    The CPU upgrades database at www.xlr8yourmac.com is a useful place to look for information on processor upgrades. If you select Apple for the card manufacturer, you'll see reports from people who have used processor daughter cards pulled from other Macs.
    Like you say, processor cards pulled from a MDD or FW800 won't work due to architectural differences such as the use of DDR RAM.
    I believe it's technically possible to use a processor card pulled from a QuickSilver or Digital Audio, although it involves a lot of effort.
    Firstly the bus multiplier on the processor card must be increased to take into account the difference in bus speed, which involves adding and/or removing resistors. For example, a 1GHz processor from a Quicksilver will have the bus multiplier set to 7.5 (7.5 x 133.33MHz = 1GHz). In a Gigabit Ethernet with a 100MHz bus the processor would run at 750MHz, unless the multipler is increased to 10.
    Secondly Quicksilver processor cards require a 12 volt feed to one of the screws which secure it to the logic board, although this can be taken from a spare hard drive molex power connector.
    Thirdly the Quicksilver processor cards and heat sinks are physically larger and in the Quicksilver are located in a different position on the logic board. When they're installed in a Gigabit Ethernet I think the card interferes with the ATA connector for the optical drive, and the heat sink may prevent the case from closing, unless both are modified.
    Fourthly I have a feeling any level 3 cache may not be recognised, as the Gigabit Ethernets and Quicksilvers shipped with different G4 variants.
    In short it may be easier just to use a third party upgrade. They're available from the following companies amongst others:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/accelerators/

  • How to install Dual OS(solaris 10 and Windows XP)?

    I have got a 80 gb sata hard disk and i am not able to install Dual OS(solaris and Windows XP ) on it.My Partitions are as follows:
    Primary partition-5GB
    Remaining are extended Partition.
    Extended partition details
    8 gb NTFS partition(installed windows XP)
    7 gb NTFS partiton(No data in it)
    20 gb NTFS partition(No data in it)
    20 gb NTFS partiton(has data in it)
    15 gb RAW partiton
    I first installed Windows xp on 8 gb Extended partiton.Then when i installed Solaris i could see only 2 partitons.One with the 5 gb and the other with the 71 gb.I actually wanted to install my solaris on the 15 gb Raw partition.Since i could not see the partition(15 gb Raw) i installed solaris on the 5 gb partition.Now when the comp boots it goes to solairs os only.i dont have the option to choose windows at all.
    could any one of you explain me how the partitions are supposed to be and how could i make it as a Dual OS.

    Windows uses the primary partiton for boot, too, even if you installed it on the NTFS volume in the extended partition. Wherever you install Windows, it will need the primary partition for booting. You can never boot from Windows extended partitions
    As for the 15Gb raw partition, it look like what you call 'RAW partition' is actually just a small little part inside the extended partition. All your NTFS partitions (and your RAW partiton) are logical volumes and they all reside inside the extended partition. Even though Windows sees them as separate drives, each with its own drive letter, just as it sees the primary partition.
    You may try do use Windows fdisk or diskpart to delete the last logical volume in the extended partition, and then get the ntfs resize tool from Linux, or the CD1 from the Debian Linux install CDs, which has it included and accessible with a nice user interface, and resize your extended partition.
    I don't know if it works, I only used it to also resize some logical volume inside the partition. ntfs resize tool might not be easy to work with, you will need to read its documentation, but it does resize NTFS partitions (I have seen it).
    If it works, then you will have your 15Gb as unallocated space available for a new partition. Let the Solaris installer create this new partition automatically during install.

  • Dual boot Windows from Toshiba Recovery CD

    Is it possible to dual boot Windows from a Toshiba Recovery CD?
    I have a Satellite A45-S120 with a Toshiba Windows XP Recovery CD.
    I have XP installed on one partition.  I partitioned the hard drive using GParted, and installed Linux on several partitions.  I want to install XP on a 2nd partition, so I can dual boot 2 versions of Windows from the same hard drive.
    When I go to install Windows, the Toshiba Recovery CD says the entire hard drive will be deleted.  Is this the case, or will it only reformat a partition?  I went into GParted and was able to change the first Windows XP ntfs partition to hidden, and now successfully can not boot Windows from the Grub Boot Manager.  However, I worry that if GParted can see the partition, then the Toshiba Recovery CD might be able to.  In addition, the Linux ext partitions could not be set to hidden.  Will the Toshiba Recovery CD overwrite all the partitions, or can it maybe only install itself on the one ntfs partition available?
    I read at http://www.vistax64.com/general-discussion/193560-install-xp-toshiba-recovery-disk-d.html that there may be a way possible, any advice?
    Specs are:
    1.26 Ghz Celeron
    1.256 GB Ram
    40 GB HD

    Satellite A45-S120 
    I want to install XP on a 2nd partition,
    So far as I know, that recovery disc will install nothing. It will restore the entire hard drive (master boot record and all) by writing all the bytes that were on the original drive (byte-by-byte).

  • How to use Real time execution trace toolkit with Dual-core processor??

    hi there
    the situation as follows:
    i have a computer (PC and Laptop) types with Dual-core processors, and am trying to do simulation using Multi-core technology and based on different simulation scenarios...starting from sequantial processing,.......Piple lining processing strategy. so that i can differentiate the time delay between those types of processing based on (Using 1 processor then dual-core processor Computers)
    my question is: As i read through Ni's white papers i saw many notes refer to Real-time execution trace toolkit to investigate the (processing-time , etc) of multi-core processors in processing diffenent algorithms. My algorithms are to be run on 1 computer with dual-core processor BUT, not in real time environments, that is ( No hardware to be connected to my pc) only algorithms running on my pc....
    So, is it possible to use Real time execution trace toolkit  or anyother tools in LabVIEW to show processing-delays and/or anyother timing critical issues without using my application for  real- time hardware.???
    in other words: how to use Real time execution trace toolkit  in non-hardware and/or real-time scenarios???
    please help me in this.
    Any suggestion, comments, feedback.....is absolutely highly appreciated
    thanks a lot in advance
    Labview Lover

    Hey,
    The Realtime Execution Trace Toolkit only works for NI RT Targets.
    But you can use the Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit, just search for it under ni.com.

  • Logic on a dual 1ghz processor machine.

    I have a quicksilver dual 1ghz processor machine with 1.5gig ram. The minimum requirement for Logic is a single 1.25ghz processor. It would "seem" like a dual 1ghz processor board would trumph a single 1.25ghz processor. I went to the local Apple store and asked several "genious" and software reps if I could run logic on my machine and the best I could get was "ummmmmm, good question...."
    Does anyone know if I can run it? Apple doesn't - and if you buy the software and it doesn't work, you can't return it.

    I was using a G4 MDD 1 ghz dual when I first upgraded to LP8. it did work but it was much slower and problematic than LP7. I found a good deal on a G5 on ebay and I am very glad I went that way. You will get a warning message when you instal Logic Studio, but it will work

  • Uneven Core usage on dual core processor

    Hi there
    I noticed today whilst doing some video encoding (.TS files to .MP4) that my Mac Mini is not spreading the load over both of the cores in my dual core processor. Whilst Core 1 is showing nearly 100% Core 2 is hardly being used. Also I noticed that when the load on Core 1 dips then Core 2 will peak but as soon as the load goes back to Core 1 it will equally dip on Core 2 so essentially in Activity Monitor it looks like the core usage is a negative image of each other. The total CPU usage never peaked above 54%.
    Could this an indication of a failing CPU or is it a case of poor core management? The software I've been using is VLC Player and also iMagiConverter.
    Cheers
    Jonty

    What I don't understand is why software developers make software (especially video encoding that is all about CPU number crunching) that only utilises 50% of the CPU resources!
    There are any number of possible reasons, from an application using a cross-platform code base that doesn't lend itself well to mulitiprocessor optimization for a particular platform, to inexperienced programmers who don't well understand programming for parallel threads, to developers who just want to crank out an application as quickly as they can (iMagiConverter seems to sort of fall into that category, given the number of applications of a similar nature that the "company" has produced). You'd have to get involved in the project development to know for sure.
    Regards.

    Hi Bernard,
    Which version of McAfee are you using?
    On my (personal) laptop, I'm using McAfee VirusScan 9.0.10. I don't frequently run JDeveloper on this laptop, but when I do, it's not experiencing signficant startup delays (it's a very low power machine: PIII 650 512Mb)
    McAfee VirusScan seems to have very few configuration options (noticably different from Norton, which I use on my corporate desktop machine). I specifically remember changing the "File Types to Scan" option to "Program files and documents only". You can get to this by right clicking the "M" notification area icon, VirusScan->Options menu, Advanced button on the ActiveShield page.
    In Norton, I think I have it configured so that it only scans files on write rather than on read. I also exclude directories which contain jdeveloper installs or other large Java apps (although scanning only on write elliminates most of the performance problems anyway and still leaves your system reasonably secure).
    The easiest way to convince your MIS dept that the virus checker is the source of your problems might be if you ask them to allow you to turn it off in order to test the difference it makes to performance. It's a reasonable request to make if you're trying to elliminate possible causes for the slowdown (from the description you gave, it does sound like the AV upgrade is the first place I'd start looking).
    If the virus checker is the source of your problems, you'll probably be seeing massive slowness in most large Java applications that have a large number of JARs on their classpath.
    Thanks,
    Brian
