AFAIK there was no 604/200. The bus speed is determined by the card. The 604/132 sets a 44MHz bus speed. The 604e/200 will set a 50MHz bus speed. I have never seen a PCI PowerMac that couldn't handle a 50MHz bus. The 7500 used a 50MHz bus on the 601/100, and the 8500 is basically an identical board (few small differences). Once you push it above 50MHz you start to push things. Peace Aqua
