That's drty line, which I imagine is an ic on the daughtercard connected to one of the cleads. The card MAY work, however: 1. Both the J700 and S900 are based on the nitro/tsunami motherboards by Apple (7500~9600) all of which have removable daughtercard technology, whereas the PowerCurve is not. 2. If you look closely at the top center of that card, you'll notice a grey thingy. Thats a 'gemini' connector for hooking two daughtercards together. When using this card on a 7500 eg, the plastic daughtercard 'hold down' must be trimmed. The powerCurve has a metal hold down, so the modification necessary might be trickier. .3. the 233 should run @ around 47 mhz whereas the Powercurve can handle a CPU with a higher speed (high clock cards) Hold out for a 180 mhz, 210 mhz or 240mhz 604E card from a PowerTower or PowerCenterPro for maximum speed. or a PowerLogix or Newertech 604e card also THe third party cards all have the drty line. or you can probbaly scoop the following for under $10 and it is a high clock card from a PowerComputing PowerTower which is essentially the same as the PowerCurve Motherboard If you have the 604/120 now there will be a 25% speed gain http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1280017671 the cards over 180 are 604E cards, those under 180 (except for PowerTower 180) are all 604 cards with slightly smaller L1 cache (32k v 64k) Cheers..Michael -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
