In my _particular_ case, its only the 9600 board that has a problem with them. The 7500 and 7600 are working fine with them. When I purchased them, I didn't even have a 9600 board, and told the supplier they were for a 7500 and 7600. I wander if they would have sent me different DIMM's if I'd told them it was for a 9600. One never knows. Bottom line is they are working ok in the other machines. I was hoping to save the 3 64 MB for another machine, but I'll just use them in the 9600. With the dozens of 16 MB's I have, it still comes up to 304 MB, which is good enough for what I need it for. --> Russ -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
