Somebody correct this if I am not entirely correct, but... An Apple 604e CPU card is a Mach V if and only if its speed is 250 MHz or greater, the fastest being 350 MHz. Motherboards that came with slower cards are incompatible with Mach V cards, and vice versa.
What's different about the Mach V is that it has an "inline cache". I�m not sure how such a cache differs from the backside cache on the G3�s/G4�s, but it is on the CPU card rather than the motherboard. >Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (PCI PowerMacs) >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (PCI PowerMacs) >Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2002 08:09:29 -0500 >Subject: Re: Hi all.... >From: "Peter M.
