<< I'm trying to upgrade my 540c to downdoad mp3 files and run other power mac applications. Could I use the same 604ev and is it easy to install?

The processor card is a NewerTech. These were made in 116.67 MHz (3.5 X clock multiplier), 133.33 MHz (4 X clock multiplier) and 166.67 MHz (5 X clock multiplier) models, and I would guess that these could also have been made in 100.00 MHz (3 X clock multiplier) and 150.00 MHz (4.5 X clock multiplier) models. My 166.67 MHz model was made without any on-card RAM. There are unstuffed pads for 4, 8 and possibly 16 MB of RAM. This means my machine has only 32 MB of RAM. The cards are designed so that they default to 116.67 MHz unless and until the NewerTech control panel is installed and activated, after which time the processor will run at full speed. These NewerTech cards install just like any other processor upgrade would be. I would go with MacOS 7.6.1 or later on all PB5xx machines. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
