Hello everyone. New to the list here and just wanted to say hello. I also have a question that perhaps some of you can help me with.
I have a powertower pro that i use for some serious
sound editing. I've upped the ram to 640 MB, and
before the summer hopefully I'll have it maxed out to
1024. But I'm also looking around for an eventual
purchase of a g4 upgrade card. I was looking at the
Crescendo 700 MHz card. On the website describing
this card, there's the little link that says something
like "click here for compatability issues with some
powertower pros."
The link takes you to a page where they describe that
power computing made a small number of ptpros with a
different motherboard design. You can determine if
you have one of these motherboards by looking at the
serial number. With my luck, of course, I have one of
these uncommon motherboards, which are incompatible
with their new g4 cards.
Does anyone have any good reccomendations for a substitute card? I haven't seen any as fast as the crescendos, but even a 450 MHz card would fly in comparison to the stock 250 MHz 604e. Didn't someone make a carrier card that would enable you to slap up to four processors onto a single card? Were those cards six-slot compatible?
The other question is a more technical question. Does anyone know what the differences between this motherboard and the standard one? That is...is there any benefit to having it?
Thanks and have a great day.

I believe that the bad motherboard would have the part number or model number "PPC-5000-0141-0". I hear that it can not be upgraded to an IBM PowerPC 750 but I do not know if it can use Motorola's G4 processors. I do not want to ever use a Motorola processor...Personal choice. Good Luck...
