It is DEFINITELY a Centris 650 board. You dont need to double check, it will be a waste of time, because it is DEFINITELY a Centris 650. Anyway, Im interested in this accelerator that will work in a Quadra 950. Does it plug into the processor slot or the PDS slot? Chris -- Quadlist is sponso

Yes, the Centris 650 board with 50MHz 68040 you have seems to outperform a Quadra 800. However, a Quadra 800 can be clock chipped to 44MHz, or 48MHz if you dont need the serial ports. That processor speed combined with an equivelant bus speed, however, may outperform a 50MHz 68040 on a 25M
