True! but some old PCI PM's will tolerate a faster bus speed. I just put an XLR8 carrier card and XLR8 G3 400 in a 9650/233 (server 9600) and have it running with a 55 MHz bus with a processor speed of 440 MHz. No problems at all.......... When I moved it to this 9600/233 it would only lock up at that bus speed....... but the other XLR8 carrier that was, (is back) in this 9600 is running a 50 MHz bus with an apple G3 350 from a B&W at 400 MHz, again no problems....... I also have an 8600/200 with the same set up as the 9600! Everyone seems to get slightly different results depending on machine. I have not tried the card that runs a 55 MHz bus in the 8600...... maybe if I find time...... -- Alan Miller Underwater Photographer http://home.earthlink.net/~uwphoto/ 9600/233 w/ G3/400 XLR8 ZIF, 1.5 G RAM eBay ID uwphotoer Live each day like it is your last because someday you'll be right. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
