What does the back look like? Is it properly designed for the board or completely hackintosh'd?
The back is a classic Power Mac G5, but with "blocked" connector (optical audio, modem, Wi-Fi), with a cache
Man that's cool. I was working for Apple when the Intel transition was announced (totally upended my business for a while!), and I *really* wanted one of these - I knew they'd be a crazy collectible before long. May I ask how you came to own this one?
It's from eBay
Is that CPU socketed ? If it is I wonder if the CPU can be upgraded.
Yep, it's a P4 660, i have changed the cooling system, because it was broken when i receive him.
Likely a Socket 775 based machine with PCIe. Wonder if a Pentium D or even a Conroe 65nm Core2 will work in these. The latter depends on the chipset, if its a 915/925/955, its stuck with Netburst toaster CPUs.
It says DDR RAM, and the timeframe is 2005 (and probably earlier. Much earlier, if the Marklar history is anything to go back) so I'm leaning towards an early 9xx chipset. Sorry kid, no Core 2 for you.
It's a i925 chipset, and Core 2 Duo and Pentium D (generally dual core) will not work, i'm waiting for a CPU to test, but i have no hope. Officialy, there is only a CPU faster : P4 670 (3,8 GHz).
