I have a PowerMac 7500 with a 604e 200MHz CPU in it. I just threw in a PCI Voodoo 3 3000 16MB video card in it and I am still getting horrible video performance. If I download AVI or trailers for movies I can't play them at anything but the lowest resolution. Not only that but the internet is a bit slower than I would expect for a 200MHz machine. I have a high speed cable connection ranging from 1.5mb/s to nearly 3mb/s. Is there anyway I can tweak web settings? Why does my video card display as 16-bit in Apple System Profiler when I know it's a 32-bit card? Is this a 16 bit system, is the 604e a 16 bit CPU? I have scoured the internet to no avail. Perhaps I am asking the wrong questions. Here are my exact specs:
PM 7500 @ 200MHz 604e 160MB Physical RAM 36GB 10,000 RPM IBM HD SCSI III (20 mb/s) on an Adaptec 2940UW PCI Card 3DFX Voodoo 3 3000 16MB PCI 8GB 50 Pin SCSI Seagate HD 32x CD-ROM 2MB FD OS 9.1 Latest QuickTime + newest video drivers for Voodoo 3 The Adaptec card I flashed the ROM to make it Apple compatible. I never get drive errors or read errors, Norton Disk Doctor scans all my drives fine. Norton Benchmark gives it a 333 compared using a 6100/60 as a reference system.
