Since the processor speed depends on the given jumper settings on the mainboard it will only run at the native speed of your board (700-867 ?!?) When you want to run it at 1GHz you have to solder/unsolder some zero Ohm resistors on the MB (with all the nasty little consequences as voiding the warranty or screwing the machine and so on...).

Thanks Pat. Would I have to change settings on a double Mirror logic board, or would that work because it is the same bus speed, I think?

On a "mirrored drive door" it would run at 1 GHz, but iīm not sure if a Xserve processor daughtercard fits into this machine. What is your exact aim? Did you manage to get a MDD-logic board with a smoked G4 cheap at ebay and now trying to fit this Xserve G4? And what do you have? Only the die (naked processor without socket, daughtercard and heatsink) or the complete unit?

I have a 7455 1GHz processor board from an xserve. I would like to find a double mirror logic board and put it in. On ebay I'm looking for a 22pin power supply. And the rest will be older Apple or PC parts. So I'm going to try to build a Mac from parts. I have built a lot of IBM's but this will be a new challenge. I just want to get parts that are the right voltage, because I know that they keep changing that for bus speed and processor speed. If you have any advise I would appreciate it
Thanks.

The processor is a daughter card, at this time I don't have the heat sink, but it isn't just the chip. The first think I got off ebay was a dual 500 heat sink. Then I found this chip, the 1GHz, I couldn't pass it up. So know I'm sitting with this very large dual processor heat sink.

Have you done a search on xlr8yourmac? They have a very broad library for moding Macīs. Have you checked if your daughtercard is pin-compatible with the MDD-logic board?

it looks like it is pin compatable. and volts I think looks ok, I will have to get 2100 DDR ram not 2700 because of bus speed.

I think you can use PC2700 Ram, it will slow itself down to whatever speed the Bus is....
