yes you can, but there are some things to take into consideration. The cpu speed will drop due to the 100mhz bus in an older agp mac compared to the 133 the QS was at. Also, you need to remove the secondary ide connector because the processor will not fit on the BGA connector with it still on. So adding a pci ide card or sata card would be recommended. as for overclocking the processor to a nice speed that the agp mac can run, just look at xlr8yourmac.com for what people have done to overclock their processors.

Is the motherboard that different that you can't use the secondary IDE controller? Wow... didn't know what... I'd figured it would be the same because I can install 3rd party g4 upgrade... didn't know what would be a problem.... interesting...
