The PowerBase uses a 603e CPU Joe, whereas the PCP CPU is a 604e. IIRC the pinouts/slots may be different. The PCP CPU's should wourk in any PowerCurve, PowerCenter, or PowerTower, as those units all have the 'catalyst' mobo, which can handle the 60 mHz bus speed of the PCP CPU's. The caveat there is that the PowerCurves came out originally with a 120 mHz 601 CPU, and the components might not be reliable at that speed on all units.. "Also, how do I know if a cpu card needs a cooling fan, the card I replaced the one in my pcp used to have a fan but with the new taller card the fan wont attatch tothe case, am afraid of burning the new cpu up with out a fan? It is a 210 Mhz card with a system bus of something over 60, I forget exactly what it is as I am not home right now and cannot check. Any suggestions would be great, thanks! All CPU's past about 100 mHz benefit from a fan, and those which operate as fast as the PCP's require one for reliable operation. Perhaps our New York correspondent William will repost the URL to his delightful lesson in the importance of fans...=) 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?
