Is there any CPU upgrades for the Dual 867 Mirrored drive door model? Simple as that, I've searched but cannot find a real answer.

Thanks!!

Gigadesigns used to make a dual 1.42 7455 upgrade, but they're hard to find now. The best bet is to try to find an Apple OEM dual 1.42 on eBay. Good luck.

So I take it the ones for the quicksilvers say dual 800 will not work?

Upgrading a Dual 867 to a Dual 800?

I've been looking for the same thing. I've got a dead cpu and need an exchange. Would a dual 800 work? Can I order the part from apple?

Not unless your an Apple Authourized Service Provider. Apple doesn't sell parts to customers.

So the only way to get one is through through a third party huh? Do you happen to know if other oem cpu's are compatible with the MDD G4?

Look here to see what processors were offered with your model:

I think the rule of thumb with Mac processor upgrades is that if you have a MDD model, you're stuck with Apple OEM processors, unless you luck up and find the elusive Gigadesigns model.

Here's a company who sells Apple OEM processors, but you're not going to like the price...

Your best bet is to try eBay, I think.
