Powermac G4 Processor Upgrade Question?

[Jesse714]

I'm looking into upgrading my processor in my powermac, but on apple it says os x does not support processor upgrade cards, so if i get a sonnettech 1.6ghz processor, will i still be able to run OS X?

You will require the software that comes with the upgrade card to be able to use it. ie, yes.

Will the card come with it? So when i go to download something, will i still download the PowerPC files?

Yes. There is no way to upgrade a PowerPC-based Macintosh system to an Intel system, nor vice-versa.

Okay thats what i thought i was just a little unclear, so if i order the processor and install it, considering that its running leopard now, Will i be able to put the processor in, and boot up with everything the way that i had it? Or will i have to do a complete reinstall?
thank you guys
