<< So if you are offered a 180MHz card, you might want to get the 604e! >> The 180 MHz 604e processor cards from UMAX Computer Corporation, which were available all over Silicon Valley's surplus houses a while ago, have a non-removable tag on the back which states "PowerPC 604e/180". Also, these UMAX cards are easily recognizable because J4 is a right-angle header, and this effectively prevents the card from being installed in a 7500 case. If you change the header to a straight header, then these cards will fit in a 7500 case (7500/7600/7300, etcetera). The correct jumpers for normal operation are 1-2, 3-4 and 5-6. The right-angle header mentioned above may be out of harm's way on a tower case, such as a 8500/9500. 604 processors from Supermac, and 604e processors from UMAX seem to work well in most motherboards except for 7300s. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
