Hello. I have a dual 500mhz Powermac G4 that needs a new processor. I popped it into my 400mhz Mystic and had the same issue of no boot. With the 400mhz CPU both work fine. Where would I get a replacement and should I get the sonnet 1ghz upgrade? This is used as a FTP server.

Fleabay, LEM swap, etc. If all it does is serve up files that's IO bound not CPU so no, getting the 1GHz would be overkill.

Ok thank you. I have found one for $20. Do you think that would be a fair price, or should I keep looking?
