Is there a site that sells upgrades for dual 867 for MDD? All I can find is for quicksilver and below.

Welcome

I could not find what you want at OWC so, as lenox says, just a matter of time.

No MDD upgrades yet. Problem is that Motorola hasn't pushed the G4 any further since the MDD was the top of the line machine. So for the vast majority of MDD owners, there would be little to no performance boost with upgrades based around the current G4s.

eBay.

You'd have to overclock your system bus though by soldering resistors on your motherboard to set your bus to 167MHz from 133MHz. Otherwise a Dual 1.25 would only run at Dual 1.0GHz.

When changing the bus speed of the machine from 133 to 167, you also have to replace the ddr ram with the appropriate speed, i think.

is that so?
