[G4] g4 processor upgrades on ebay

[Judy Antipin]

Here is a link to one auction for the OWC extreme - check periodically 
for others that seem to be offered regularly. I just put in 'G4 upgrade' 
in the search window and get a reasonably broad spectrum of offerings. 
Some of the auctions are placed by individuals selling used processor 
upgrades for personal reasons. I'd exercize more caution with these.
