It doesn't need a motherboard according to the website, but it's a bit too much money Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/176264-powermac-g4/#findComment-1207730 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Nonny Moose Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Misunderstanding, but still, I'm pretty sure that requires a motherboard upgrade. No it doesn't. They are plug in, maybe set some jumpers, and then run with it. Just stop, ok?
