<< I was under the impression that the 350 mhz card would only work in either a 300 mhz and 350 mhz 9600 and not the other versions. >> Correct. The Mach5 8600 and 9600 machines, 300 to 350 MHz, employ 604ev processors, have an on card 1 MB cache and a use a specially designed, on card power regulator. These cards are not compatible with anything other than a Mach5 motherboard. OTOH, third party cards have been made which work in both Mach5 and non-Mach5 motherboards, although some require a special switch or jumper setting for compatibility with Mach5 motherboards. The non-Mach5 motherboards (7500, ... 9600) employ 604 or 604e processors that top out at significantly under 300 MHz, expect an on-motherboard cache, and use a conventional, on card voltage regulator. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
