I'm installing a processor card upgrade in my G4 (Sawtooth) and was wondering what to do with the old processor that I'm replacing. Would it be possible to move that over to a G3 machine?

No, the G3s and early G4 (Yikes) use a socket commonly called ZIF , the later G4s (sawtooth and later) use a newer socket which is better but not interchangeable

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
