Box full of ZIF processors
G4 400 MHz/1 MB ZIF, tested - no heatsink - how about $15 shipped ea. Quick, easy upgrade for B&W. From the looks of it, there are about 40 of them here, I just need to test them.
There's also at least 30 of the G3 450 MHz/1 MB. $12 shipped ea.
I have nearly every speed here...
G3 233, 266, 275, 300, 333, 366, 400, 450
G4 350, 400, 450

I am testing G4 400 MHz processors right now. The testing machine is a B&W G3 400 MHz.
G4s work perfectly in a B&W G3, but you must apply a patch to the ROM, because Apple decided to block G4s in order to make people buy G4 towers. The patch is at http://eshop.macsales.com/Tech/FTP/newertech/BWG4Enabler.sit - apply BEFORE installing the G4.
Additionally, you must update the jumper block to correspond to the new speed. This is not a problem if you have a 400 MHz G3 and want to go to a 400 MHz G4, but to increase your speed you need several small jumpers and a jumper guide (see http://www.dgweb.ca/g3/part5.html). I not recommend overclocking the G4 using the stock heatsink.
I have several tested G4 400 MHz processors, with 1 MB L2 cache, the price is $15 each shipped USA, $20 each shipped elsewhere. Send PayPal to mike@silvernetworks.net (no credit cards).
Note: These are tested in B&W G3 only right now. I will test in Beige G3 soon.

no worries mate, i bought a G3 450mhz CPU from a B&W from ebay for my AIO in my sig, it works great but you have to decide between 433mhz or 466mhz due to the 66mhz bus speed. i use to know a site that showed you what jumpers did what.
i even tried a G4 zif from a Yikes G4, it works but gets detected as a 604 CPU and shows half of the L1 cache and no L2 cache. i tried most of the CPU/cache enablers and all would cause the system to crash on bootup. with the CPU running like that everything ran uber slow. i did wish i could have gotten this to work out.
but my AIO is in my sig, parted out and in storage :'(
A G3/450 would be nice for my pimpin' beige desktop... Have any tested, and would they work in a desktop beigey? 83mhz bus means it would run at a cool 500mhz at least (technically an underclocking - the proc speed setting is the same for 500mhz at 83mhz as 400mhz at 66.)
