My 6500 is a 6500/250 with an ATI video card and the Apple TV/Video system, and
a Sonnet G3 400/1 upgrade card in it.

Although limited in terms of the ammount of RAM it can take, the overall design
of the 6500 is actually one of the best designs for a home/small office CPU.

Whats really telling for me is that although there are other faster Macs around
the house...we have a SE DV 500 Mhz iMac, a 450 Mhz B&W G3, and two big Daystar
Genesis MP 800+ PCI towers  (one stock with four 200 Mhz 604e processors and
the other outfitted with a Sonnet G4 800 Mhz Crescendo) the computer that I
have Quark and Acrobat on and do my most vital work is the 6500.

I edit the newsletter for the local Mac Users group and the 6500 running System
8.6 is so rock-solid and dependable...
