Re: [PCI] Which PCI Mac is BEST ?

[Ron]

I don't have a 9600 but the Cache chip will look like  a RAM chip but  
larger and is located by itself on the board.

Hi,
I'm going to show my ignorance here. I've got a 9600 with a G4/700 in  
it. When I installed the processor upgrade the instruction book   
mentioned that you didn't have to take  the L2 cache out of a 9600.  
How can I tell if I have one that has a removable cache, I guess what  
I'm asking is where is it located on the motherboard?

If I do have a removable cache, would i tbe best to remove it when  
installing a preocessor upgrade?

Thanks,
Bob

Just a word of warning, some 9600s (not many by all accounts) have  
problems with L2 cache and running a 50MHz bus speed. As long as you  
snag one that has a removable cache DIMM, rather then it soldered to  
the board, you should be ok.
