    According to this, it's the fastest socket G3 cpu. If for some reason it doesn't boot, use your old cpu to update the ec/bios then try again.

    4930mx is widely regarded as better than the 4940mx refresh. Also the 4940mx qs is also highly praised.

    They did seem to loosen the binning on the 40 series.

    True, the 4940MX QS still demands a higher value, but I can't find any info as to why.

    I couldn't say either personally but all the greats in the forum always mention it so I figure it's worth mentioning

    QS prices can always be a bit odd anyway.

    Anyone know of a reputable seller for a 4940MX QS?

    At this point I doubt it, they were technically not for resale anyway ;)
