My wife found a 7600/120 with 80 MB of RAM (32, 32, 8, 8)at a garage sale last weekend for about the price of a case of beer.
I've been playing with it this week and have some questions: I popped the 120 MHz 604 out and popped in a 180 604e from a 7300 and that worked just fine so I pulled the 180 and put in the 233 MHz 604ethat came out of my 9600 when it got the G3 upgrade.
Various utilities report the 233 MHz 9600 604e processor card speed as 195, 227, 229 and 233 Mhz in the 7600. Should this model not be accelerated past 200 MHz with this type of processor ?
Is there a limit to how fast the 7600 can operate a 604e card ???
I threw a ixMicro 8-meg Twin Turbo into it and asked for RAM offers this morning on the LEM SWAP List and picked up six more 32-meg DIMMs for $16.00.(Thats $16.00 for all six, not for each DIMM).
This really is a delightful little computer. The previous owner left some surprising goodies on the hard drive, including his own registered copies of Adobe Photoshop 5.5 and Illustrator 8.
What are the limitations on the audio RCA jacks on the back of it ? Can this thing be used to play a guitar through ?

I've got a 7500/100 and those are nice toys to play with. Garage sales are great !
The 233MHz 604e card is the fastest Apple card made for that logic board but there are 250MHz 604e cards in the clones that should work.
The 250 and 300MHz daughtercard CPU's are for a different logic board and won't work.
I put a PowerComputing 150MHz card in my 7500 and it worked fine and I have a 250 in my PTP but I never tried it but it should work fine.
The different utilities report the CPU speeds different all the time. Apple's System profiler always showed the wrong CPU speed on G3 cards I have used
but the 604 cards always show correct for me. If the card is a 233MHz and works correct it will run at 233 regardless of what some apps report the speed as.
I never used the A/V jacks on my 7500 so I can't tell you much about that but it should be about the same as most Macs with A/V ports.
