    The issues with the G5 don't stop at the CPU. When the power supply dies, you have no chance of repairing it, let alone the amount of work to deconstruct the machine. The G5's are a waste of time, money (power consumption) and health (lifting that piece of metal is not the best execercise for our back).

    I haven't seen any dead Pegasos mainboards. Some people fried their CPU cards due to overclocking and wrong cooling. But if you maintain the machine on a regular basis (which is pretty easy), there should be no issues. Too bad there are no custom CPU modules with 7447A CPUs at higher clockrates available. Even with the limited RAM speed, a higher clocked CPU would increase the speed of applications like Wayfarer a lot.
