[CUBE] G5 Upgrades In G4 Macs WILL NEVER HAPPEN

[Kunga]

I apologize for sounding too harsh Laurie. I did go over the top - what 
else is new?

Michael, it is technically not possible. It's not about the market. 
It's about engineering. G5 processors will never work with G4 
motherboards. It is technically impossible for that to happen. This 
subject has been covered in technical journals already. I can't site a 
link. But I read in one of the engineering sites that it is physically 
not a match. I believe it has something to do with bus incompatibility 
among other things.

The bottom line is it can't be done.
