Well, a friend tried something WAY more interesting (and risky)...
He soldered a PPC740. It's totally compatible with the 603p (voltage, data,
setup, everything). The problem is that without any BGA equipment, the
soldering was not done properly... It worked, crashed all the time and
finally the chip was fried. This wasn't up to any voltage problems.
Now, if anyone could try mounting a 740 with the proper tools...

Yep, I saw it.
The problem is that it was very unstable, probably
due to bad soldering, as the 740 is totally
compatible with the 603 according to Motorola.
It was faster than a 603e, there were some grabs
with RC5 benchmark and SysSpeed results but I
think I lost them, I'll ask Stormlord (the guy
that did it) to resend them.
