What do you mean by "Faster processor bus speed"? The processor speed depends on the processor card and not on the MoBo. And, AFAIK, all those Macs have a bus that can do 50MHz. When they don't, it's because the (pre-G3) processor speed has to be an integral multiple of the bus speed, so that, for example, a 180MHz processor makes the bus run at 45MHz. > > >>B.T.W., won't all of those boards work in/with a 7200 case and power supply? > >I think I read here on the list that the 7500 has different PSU >connections. But maybe that was the 7300. Not sure. It's the 7300 that has different connections from the rest. But I was asking, just out of curiosity, about the 7200. I'm pretty sure the answer is "yes". If so, one would presumably rather scrap a 7200 MoBo than one of the later ones. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
