I just tried this with my Gigabit Ethernet Dual 450 - no worky. I was installing a dual 1.6 7447. Must've been a dead processor cause it wouldn't boot. And, yes, I followed the same proceedure you describe above.

To my relief, OWC took the processor back - no prob. But, I think I'll spend the money on a new machine and be happy with what I've got in the G4.

Argh.
