None. The 7300 is rated at 45MHz on only one of the 4 possible CPUs. Mine runs at 200MHz (50MHz x 4) with it's 604e and, transversely my 7500 runs at 132MHz ( >so I could make use the the rca jacks? If you put the 7500 logic board in the 7300 yes. >And could a rca video out jack be added to this piece? If you mean to the 7300 logic board, no. >I know that Guru 2.9 says that the 7300 is rated at 45mhz and the 7500 is >rated at 50mhz - which to me is not that much of a difference. But since >the 7300 had a 604e to start with, is there any benefits to keeping >everything on the 7300? If you want the RCA ports for something then do the swap. If it isn't that big an issue then don't, it's as simple as that. I'm doing exactly the same thing with my 7300 (swapping all the good bits into a 7500 chassis and logic board) so I can get the RCAs for Audio instead of the crappy headphone port on the 7300. >I have several 7200's laying around so finding compatible power supply and >box for the 7500 is not a problem. Best thing to do is to is to pull a PSU out of the 7200 and put that and the 7500 Logic Board in the 7300 case. You will need to detach the blanking plate from the back to uncover the RCA/S-VHS ports. -- -- Mark Benson Any spelling errors are attributed to PEBKAC Vintage Macs List Nanny SilValleyPirate - AIM silicon_valley_pirate_uk - Yahoo!
