All the best...........
All machines in the 7200-8500, 8500 have a MAXIMUM bus speed of 50MHz. A 132MHz daughter card operates the bus at 44MHz (3x). A 200MHz card operates at 50 MHz (4x). I don't think there is a 604 (sans e)/200. None of this has anything to do with SCSI bus speed though. > >--- "Andrew W. Hill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Dual channel... sorta.
