Can you upgrade PowerBook G4 processors?
Is anyone selling g4 upgrades for power(BOOK) g4's? i can get a g3 and buy a g4 chip for it, but can I buy a 400mhz G4 powerbook and put a 1ghz in it.
Will this ever happen?
EDIT
Um it really is early. I mean can you upgrade PowerBOOK g4
Sorry about the confusion

Yes, you can buy upgrades for PowerMac G4s. No, you can't put a 1GHz G4 into a 400MHz PowerBook G4.
I'm guessing your title is wrong, but then you say the same thing in your post. Please refrain from making me think this early in the morning. heh

AFAIK, there is no way to upgrade the processor on a PowerBook G4.
a Lombard (1999, Bronze keyboard PB G3) into a 500MHz G4 here
and a Pismo (2000, FireWire PB G3) into the same 7410 500MHz G4 here
AFAIK, there are no aftermarket chip upgrades to the Titanium chassis PB models.
PB G3 upgrades might seem better bang for the buck, but with archaic GPU/VRAM, no Quartz Extreme.
Barefeats compared the upgraded Pismo to later TiBooks here
the only alternative upgrade path is better known as eBay.
So basically you can't upgrade it.
1.Put a Type R racing sticker on it.
2.if the above is not fast enough
add on a v-tec sticker
Please wear safety glasses while attempting this
the sheer speed of the cpu as it goes flashing by
may cause eye damage ...
im sure the others can pipe up with ideas
