Hi, people. I'm wondering about PowerPC 9600/300 PCI and RAM slots. The thing is that I'm considering an opportunity to buy a USB 2.0 card and RAM chips. What I was not sure about is if they are useful for my PowerPC. Someone told me that old PC RAM chips could work in my machine. I'm talking about Pentium II chips. Is that right? I mean, is there any particular specification for mac chips or you can use any chip that fits the specifications of the slot you requiere? By the way, what exactly are the RAM chips my computer needs? is it PC66 DIMM SDRAM 168-pin? must they be 70ns or 60ns? Regarding PCI slots I have a pretty similar question. What is the PCI slot voltage for 9600/300 machines? is the compatibility with mac due to drivers or is there any architecture difference between PC and MAC PCI cards?

�I have a 9600 / 300 MHz. The PC RAM may work but I am no expert here. I use Chips from OWC. My Pc using buddy said my chips look the same as what many similar era PCs use. EDO should be alright.
I have a Firewire / USB 2 card in this machine. But it has been said on this list that our legacy PCI Macs cannot support USB 2 transfer rates.
