Hi again
Don't really know if this is appropriate to this list or not - fully prepared for a bollocking from the nanny, in any case. I have an LC630 into which I've stuck the logic board from a 6500. The board presently only has 48mb of 5v 168 pin RAM - 1 x 32 and 1 x 16 -and is going well, presently waiting for 2 x 128 sticks from a fellow eBay member(reasonably priced). I know these will work but will only be recognised as 64mb sticks, taking the RAM up to 128, which is supposed to be the max anyway for this board. The old 630 case is now running 8.6 on a 6 gig hard drive, coupled up to an NEC 17" multisync monitor, through a Lindy adaptor. I've had nothing in the way of power supply issues so far, but don't think that would have been the case if I'd tried a 6400 board. I've no intention of pushing my luck with any pci cards using a one slot riser. This all seems too easy - can anyone point out the fatal flaw? Will also try to post this to the Mac-UK list.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
David
At the risk of being included in the "bollocking", I'll answer and say it should work fine. The 6500 motherboard includes the 3.3V line onboard that the x400 requre from the PSU, so it would just be a matter of capacity. If you really are just going to stick with what you have, with maybe a memory update, should be fine. If you started putting G3 upgrades and stuff in it, you might have trouble.
