Lowered price to $350, i think that is fair for this processor.

Thanks

This is for the following desktops:

100MHz Bus Systems

Apple Power Macintosh G4 "Sawtooth"
Apple Power Macintosh G4 "Gigabit Ethernet"

133MHz Bus Systems:

Apple Power Macintosh G4 "Digital Audio"
Apple Power Macintosh G4 "QuickSilver"
Apple Power Macintosh G4 "QuickSilver 2002"


Also, I booted this up at 1.6GHz and started fine, didn't test it long enough, but Id bet you could run at least at 1.5GHz with no modifications. nice little CPU these 7455B's are :-)
