Let's put it another way, this time without the possibility of misinterpretation ... 200 MHz is the max for an Apple-built 604e processor in these machines. >> Seems somewhat odd. I purchased a 9600/200DP, pulled the DP card and dropped in a ZIF carrier with a G3/400 and it works just fine.... >> ... and, all bets are off when you remove the Apple-built 604e processor, and you install a third party ZIF carrier. I run a 533 MHz G3 "Six Slot Edition" MPe ZIF in my 9600 ... you can too. However, the bus speed is still limited to that which it was under the old 604e, irrespective of whatever third party processor you may be running. So, it's not odd at all ... it's the way the machine was designed to work. And, it works very well, too ... within the basic limitations of the motherboard design. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
