> The Mach V series moved the L2 cache from a motherboard slot to the daughtercard for faster cache access. This makes the Mach V series not interchangeable with earlier daughter cards.
The upgrade processor daughter card has to be set to compensate for the difference in configurations. I've seen some G3/G4 cards that were Mach V or pre Mach V specific and not interchangeable. Make sure you get one that will work and if you sell your older daughterboard to offset some of the cost, make sure you let the purchaser know that it will only work in a Mach V motherboard. Using the wrong daughtercard can damage the daughtercard and the motherboard. David Allen > Huh?
