Hi There, I need some advice and help.
I want to upgrade My old faithfully 6200, so I have obtained a 6500 Motherboard of ebay at a very good price.
The number on the board is 820-0816c, this seems to make it a 225 Mhz variation am I correct ?.
It has 1 x Comms, 1 x PCI, 1 x Cache, 2 x RAM slots. I was supplied with 1 x 16 Mb of RAM, I do not think this RAM will work with this board.
In order to use it I need to install 2 x 64 Mb of basic RAM or more if it will identify more than 128 Mb is this possible would I need RAM slot doublers?. I will also need to install Cache RAM not sure what to look for here size or type ?.
A PRAM battery should not be any problem I assume it is different than the 6200 again what do I look for.
Will the power supply of the 6200 work with the 6500 if it does will it limit the use of the 6500 board ?. If I get my hands on a 6500 power supply will it be a straight replacement for the 6200 or will some other adjustment's be needed ?.
Are there any other problems that any one could think of that I have over looked.
