Re: MorphOS : PowerMac G5 Port Update

The dual CPU 2.5 and 2.7 are liquid-cooled and so are all PCIe/dual-core G5 (the Quad has 2 dual-core G5 and is a wet as it gets).

The fastest air-cooled is the dual CPU 2.3 GHz (not to be mistaken with the dual-core at 2.3GHz).

Putting an air-cooler into an unit designed for LCS might work ..... for a moment .... (aka really stupid idea),

I'd say anything with an AGP-Slot does have a realistic chance for MorphOS, those with PCIe not in the forseeable future.

But as allways, wait till offcial announcement before buying HW ;)

6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Given that the cooling in the G5s isn't completly dumb, there is also the possibilty that your 2.7GHz CPUs get throttled due to inefficient cooling...


/me ist just gonna stick to his 2x2.3GHz.

Guys, A ! G ! P G5 Macs  with Radeon GFX are easily found on EBay or elsewhere.... so why don't you just pick up one of those ?
