Hello all. I have finally gotten my Blue & White g3 and I love it! It ended up not be 300mhz but 350. And its a rev. 2 board. I was just wondering if any one could give me a little more information about it and upgrading the processor.

there are a few cpu's still being made for the ol B&W. most common are the 1ghz g3's (that ive seen) there are also some G4's if you need altivec, but it wont come even close to 1ghz.
just look up g3 zif upgrades.
Au contraire, mon ami. There's 1Ghz G4 ZIF's out there too. The Sonnet version usually sells close to $200 on eBay, but I doubt going to 1Ghz is worth the extra cost, not to mention probable problems with heat with such a processor. But if you're doing OS X, then I'd go with a G4 processor. I've got an XLR8 500mhz G4 in my B&W and the machine's pretty happy. The 500mhz G4 ZIF's sell around $75-100 on eBay these days, but you could live fine with the 350 G3 if you're not expecting a whole lot out of the machine. The B&W's a fine machine, but pretty old already, so I wouldn't sink too much money into one. It likes lots of matching RAM which is fairly cheap now.

Well what about replacing the 350 G3 with a 900 Mhz G3 from an iBook it's simple and cheap.
It's neither.
I'd be impressed to see how you'd rip a soldered CPU off the ibook and make it fit the G3's ZIF socket.
Well I guess I was quick to talk and not to check my facts
