Hi. The maximum processor upgrade you can get with a 50MHz bus speed is a g4/450 or a g3/500. I just upgraded my 9600/350 with an xlr8 ZIF Carrier g4/450 and would highly recommend it. If you plan on using a g4 you must get a Six Slot card, otherwise you will have problems using all your PCI slots.
I believe 18 GB is the largest native 50-pin SCSI hard drive. For anything larger and faster you will have to look into coverted SCSI drives which can present problems, get a SCSI card, or get an ATA card and use IDE drives. One issue to be aware of with using IDE drives is possible audio stuttering, which is fixed by using an extension. There are many articles about upgrading at: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com -+-+-+- RPM Kari Macauley wrote: > Hey, > I've got a PowerMac 9600/200 that I'd like to upgrade to something more > current.
