It surprised that the thing wouldn't just run at 4x the inherent 50
Mhz. bus speed of the motherboard, i.e. 200 Mhz, but it ticks along at
240/60, according to ASP. It would appear that the processor controls the
bus speed, as well. I paid $60 for mine (last year), so you're probably
better off going to a G3 unless you find a cheap one.
I wouldn't buy a 300 or 350 to try the swap, although I might try
one if I had one on hand. I believe that the 300 and 350 Mhz only work in
a few 9600's, etc. which have a different motherboard. They won't work in
a 233 Mhz 9600, for example, so I'll bet they won't work in a Power
Computing machine.
