The 7300 - 7600, 8500 and 8600 (both models) all used the same VRAM modules. Oh, the 7200 and Power Computing Catalyst based clones (except the PCP) used them as well. However, I have seen a number of Power Computing modules which work fine in Catalyst based machines and do not work in the 7300 - 8600 models. There is no VRAM soldered to the 7500 MB. Of the Apple machines listed, only the 7200 had 1 MB of VRAM soldered down. I've got some I'd offer you, but it's of that PCC vintage which doesn't work in the 7500. It creates a repeated image of what should be displayed. It's repeated horizontally and overlapping, so you have like six or eight of whatever should be on the screen laid over each other and shifted a bit to the side. Works great in the 7200 and PCC Catalyst machines, though, which is weird. Jeff Walther -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
