There are two versions of the 9600 board: 1) pre-Mach5, and 2) Mach5. If you are going to stick with the factory processor, the Mach5 350 MHz is the way to go (a Mach5 400 MHz processor was defined, but not manufactured). If you are going to G3 or G4 the motherboard, there's probably little difference. Sure, there could be hassles with the on-motherboard cache with the pre-Mach5 board. But, the INIT normally provided with the processor upgrade should address that. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
