Actually, if a PPC G2 processor is your upgrade idea, I suggest a 225mhz PPC processor that some clones used, or the one made by Newer. You'll have to check w/ the clone processor to ensure that it will work in a 7600. Also, get a 512k or a 1mb L2 cache dimm, and your performance gain will be just about the same as a 225-230mhz G3 processor, IMHO. Craig W. Atlanta, GA Power corrupts.
