In this episode of Chris Edwards Restoration, the spotlight is on a MorphOS G5 CPU swap—and it’s not just a minor upgrade. Chris dives into updating MorphOS to version 3.19 and then swaps out the dual 2.3GHz CPUs for a faster 2.5GHz PowerPC setup. The payoff? Dual-screen support and a blazing fast boot—just two seconds from post to desktop.
The CPU swap isn’t just about speed. It’s about squeezing the most out of classic Apple hardware, pushing the Power Mac G5 just that bit further for a smoother MorphOS experience. With the OS now running 3.19, the dual-display setup looks sleek, and the performance boost is noticeable.
For fans of MorphOS or anyone tinkering with PowerPC-era Macs, this MorphOS G5 CPU swap is a satisfying watch. And yes, Chris makes the upgrade look a little too easy.
