First off, that's exactly what you have: a 7600 with a 200 MHz processor.
If it's the Apple card, it's exactly identical to a 7600/200 except for
the nameplate -- and that's really not going to mean a thing as far as
performance is concerned.
You bought a machine with a bus that runs as high as 50 MHz, but the
exact speed depends on the daughtercard. With a 120 MHz CPU, the bus runs
at 40 MHz. With a 180 MHz CPU, it runs at 45 MHz. With a 200 MHz CPU, it
runs at 50 MHz. If you get the G3/333 card, it'll probably run at 47.57
MHz and a chip multiplier of 7.
Don't complain. You got exactly what you wanted.
