[G4] CPU Upgrade Question

[gifutiger]

Greetings ( + )!( + )

Alan and Rich,

I've seen this discussion somewhere before, however I can not find any  
reference at this time.
The answer is "You need to check the artwork number on the mother- 
board" and somewhere there is a list of artwork numbers that will tell  
you if you can install the Dual-Processor.

Perhaps you can find the reference somewhere using Google.


Best regards,

Harry
