I don't think the power supply in the 6200 will power everything on the 6500 board (maybe it is the PCI slot, I don't recall), and I'm pretty sure that the power supply from a 6500 will not fit into the 6200 case. I *think* the solution for your box/board is a 6360 power supply. I've owned 100s of 6200/6300 machines, a few 6500s, and zero 6360s. According to MacTracker, the 6500 requires EDO ram. I've kinda lost the point in rodding this form factor up, apart from the fun of the exercise. Most likely, if you can get hold of a 6360 power supply, you could get the whole 6360, which would make the old 6200's remains kinda useless (and swapping out the power supply is, if memory serves, getting down to the very last dustbunny in the box). I guess the Max deal would be to use a 630 face plate on a 6360 box and power supply with a 6500/300 board and whatever the max ram that board can see, but I stopped with a 6320 with every possible slot and jack filled. It is a slow, serviceable computer (OS 8.6, netted to my LAN via Commslot ethernet card and online via Linksys router/SpeedStream modem) and a pretty good t.v. -- All the Best,
