Soldering processors to upgrade...possible compatibility between them

[GPT]

The pins isn't the same on the G3 and probably not the Voltage either maybe not even the size, but he did it.

And it's teoretical possible to do that for those wo don't belive me. They are (603/4 and G3) complatible.

I read the G3 worked for over 4 days but then shorted out and fried (hadnt been soldered very well).  I wonder how games performed on it?

update your datatypes?

If, at all possible, socket your cpu.  Most likely it may not happen, but better not to go thru all the trouble to replace another cpu  you just soldered into when it fails.  As for overclocking, better get a reliable heatsink and fan.  And, from the lack of space of using a heatsink and fan, I'd say, "Good Luck, " unless you placed your motherboard in a tower.

with the cyberstorms I have read that the 604e/233 uses 2.4volts and the mach5 models (from 240 to 400) between 1.8 and 2.1... The 060/040 use a voltage regulator, do you know if the ppc has another one? If there is such a component I guess it would be easy to change it for the right one... and get a 400Mhz CyberstormPPC (if the multiplier allows that, of course...)
