Where is the clock frequency generated on the micro? I see 2 crystals on the board, but my docs don't mention any settings above 933MHZ. Will any A1 support a 1.7GHZ cpu? If so, what is the upper limit?
I might have misuderstunded what does he (sundown) mean....
Please correct me if i have done so...
I just dont get it, may be he means G4 module of micro? He has a G3. G3 GL (the one that goes on the module Adam designed) is <=933MHz. G4 module can accept only 745X cpu ruling out 7447 ones (someone correct me if I'm wrong). That leaves us with 7455 that is max. 1400MHz and 7457 that is available now at freescale as at 1266, marked with LC ( and the irrelevant 1000MHz, NC, that requires 1.1V vcore).

I'm going on what Max has told me. I have no reason to doubt his word.
When you receive the module, could you send the setting of the frequency switches please? (to correct the wrong entry in my table)
TIA, Jack

Sorry for the confusion guys, I have a micro with a G3 GX. I was thinking that the clock was generated on the board by a crystal like on a classic, but after reading the cpu specs, I see that the clock is generated by the cpu chip itself. NOW I understand how a higher frequency cpu can replace a lower frequency cpu. Getting slow in my old age.
Look, only one leg, count em, one! X1000/PA6T@1800MHz/2Gb/Radeon 4850
That's kinda what I had thought, but looking at that chart on their webpage was giving me some hope. (There is a column titled "rework," which I thought might be the cost just for a fix; and there is another column titled "CPU cost," which I was hoping might be the cost for a brand new one.)
I was contemplating e-mailing ACube for some additional information; but I know that they must be busy trying to get SAM out on time (and I certainly do not want to slow that down at all).

To get a G4 CPU module with broken CPU repaired you have to pay for the work (95 Euro + taxes) and for the replacement CPU (162.50 or 312.50 Euro + taxes). For a 1 GHz 7457 it's about 310 Euro incl. VAT without shipping costs, for the 1.267 GHz one about 490 Euro. For people outside of the European Union it might be cheaper (no 20% italian VAT, but local taxes/duties and higher shipping costs instead).
This is not A-Cube's fault, BUT the 1.267 GHz G4 is $632.97 Canadian.
This can buy a 32 inch HDTV in Canada (okay, during boxing day sale). BUT, it could buy a name brand 32 inch CRT TV and leave $150 in your pocket at normal times.
This could buy a DVD recorder, WITH a 160 to 250 GB hard drive in it, and leave $150 in your pocket.
I guess that freescale and ibm have left the building.
Support Amiga Fantasy cases!!! How to program: 1. Start with lots and lots of 0's. 10. Add 1's, liberally. "Details for OS 5 will be made public in the fourth quarter of 2007, ..." - Bill McEwen Whoah!!! He spoke, a bit late.

IBM CPUs are cheaper, even G5 CPUs are cheaper than fast G4 ones ... The new AmigaOne CPU modules incl. 750GL CPU from ACK would have been cheaper than the repair of a broken G4 module with a new 1 GHz G4 CPU. But both doesn't help, repairing broken G4 modules, for which you need to buy a new, pin compatible G4 CPU (other G4 CPUs may be cheaper and/or faster, but can't be used) and have to pay whatever Freescale wants for them, is all what's actually available for AmigaOne owners with a broken G4 CPU module.
Brand new G4 7457@1.267GHz is 328 US$ excl. vat at Freescale (1-25 units afair). 314$ for 25-99 units order. And given you get module checked before and after rework the extra $$ are worth the price(imho). And ACube have to get their share as well .
And this is not advocacy of anyone. These are the prices. Just FYI.
One more point: there are no prices on G4 modules from ACK nor they're available yet.
