Yes, but it's a standard part. >2) Can someone tell me about PowerPC upgrades for Quadra's and the 950 model >in particular? Which are the more reputable manufacturers? What pitfalls There are essentially two: Apple and Daystar The designs were nearly identical; Daystar used a slightly different clock multiplier setup and a mirrored board layout relative to the Apple upgrades. In addition, the Apple upgrades were only available in 66MHz form, whereas the Daystars can be had (very expensively) in 100MHz form. Note: you'll pay more for a PPC upgrade for a 950 than you will for something like a complete Power Mac 7500.
