Soldering processors to upgrade...possible compatibility between them

Ive always thought that it could be done, but someone was also telling me about that the voltages are different, and a few other things. I would like to see a fast PPC on a blizzard that was custom done

Have you (all) an idea, what evil work, is desoldering a 603e from a Blizzard?

603e has some micro SMD components, placed through the CPU pins . . . .brrrr!!!

Good luck :-)

I've heard that it should be possible to solder a 060 onto a 040 socket if you manage to lower the voltage. I assube that it should be possible to do the same with PPCs.
Wasn't there a G3 accelerator similar to the Overdrive Pentiums availible for old 3- and 486s?

mhhh! another kind of work!

On Blizzard/CSPPC is quite simple to replace an 040 with an 060.

For the PPC, is a very hard works, even for a good tecnician (with a professional desoldering station).

PS- by the way . . .your avatar, crash my system :-) . . . sometimes. Any suggestion?
