According to Guru, they also have a 50mhz system bus as opposed to the 7300's 48mhz system bus.
All of these machines set their system bus speed based on the daughter card so don't about which is higher, it'll change with the daughter card.
I would pick the 7500. It's got the slowest original daughter card (100MHz 601). On any of these machines the G3 card will run at the same clock speed and the same bus speed. So you might as well accelerate the 7500 and you still have the other, faster machines.
Your question is of interest to me also, but I would like to expand your question to include 6500, 7500, 8500, 9500 and the question "of these with pci slots, which is the best to upgrade?"
AFAIK the 6500 is a different matter, as it doesn't take a daughter card. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting
