Hi Rich I have a G4 500Mhz that I've had for many years along with the cooling fins, but I haven't posted that for more than 3 or 4 years. Do you need one? I also have the 350Mhz one that came with my 1999 G4 but I want to keep that one incase something happens to the 1.2Mhz G4 processor that I purchased from OWC many years ago. Let me know if you are interested. Harry ø?ºº?ø,¸¸,ø?ºº?ø,¸¸,ø?ºº?ø,¸¸,ø?º?ø On Feb 15, 2010, at 4:26 PM, RICHARD NORTHOUSE wrote: > Harry, > > Did you post some tower mac cpu's for sale?
