There's an auction about to end at dawn today on eBay for a cache card that sounds like it might be what I am searching for, but the seller gave an indistinct description that leaves room for question whether it is. this is the totality of what they said about it: "This is a 300 mhz processor with 512k backside L2 cache from a Power Mac G3. It simply pops in to the processor slot of your Beige or B&W PowerMacintosh. It can be installed in about 3 minutes. I accept paypal only. Will ship to US and Canada."
Is this s G3-L2 cache card that can go in the L2 of my 6360? Or is this a different animal that I would be advised to refrain from biddiing for? I only have 8 hours left in which to decide if this is what I need to buy or not, so I hope you guys can come up with a solid answer in time. The fact that this is said to 'pop into the processor slot of your Beige or B&W powermac" gave me pause. mine WOULD fit the description of a "beige powermac", but certainly not a native G3. and hte said "the processor slot", not "the L2 cache slot"---and yet he DOES say it has 512k of backside cache....which sounds a hell of a lot like its an L2 cache card. Is there another card made that goes in the 'processor slot' and not the L2, that would define for sure what this card has to be? I don't want to bid on something it turns out is not what I want. I'm watching for the L2-G3 CACHE card for the L2 cache slot of my 6360. and this only goes to 300 MHz, too. which is 20 MHz short of the max mine can operate at.[8x40=320Mhz for mine]. Tell me straight: do I want this, or is it not what I'm looking for? janet 8 hours to go and counting. http://community.webtv.net/mensabrains/BADCODE -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
