Oh, and I forgot. Those fiddley plastic tabs that hold the PCI cards in their slots are a real pain.
The plastic stiffens with age and breaks easily. Also they take quite a bit of side force to get them past the card far enough to get it out. A real waste of time. And as careful as you try to be it is always a crap-shoot whether it will break or not. And when they do ( and they will ) there is nothing to
hold the card firmly in it's slot.

Agreed. I just borke one of the plastic slot frames pulling the video card today. But, this 9500 has another XLR8 G3z mini-CPU card with switches. This one went up to 337Mhz
but became a little squirrely doing it.
So I settled on 317Mhz. With OS 9.0.4 it's a pretty spiffy Mac Tower.
It's on the desk in the bedroom, and I can sell the FrankenMac.
Difference between native 45Mhz. bus speed and 50.
