I go tech slumming at the local GOODWILLS where old macs can be had for between $7.00 and $10.00. I've picked up 3 of the 6xx machines over the last few months, and doing a bit of online snuffling, here's the possibilities of this beast. The true beauty of this computer is that it came about during that odd cheapskate period Apple went through and has the delightful slide out motherboard. Even better, it can support most of the Power PC mobos along these lines. One of my machines is running at 100 MHz, while one of the others is running a PowerMac 6500/225 motherboard without a hitch. I find this a good compromise as this case is nice and compact, in contrast to the MASSIVE 6500 tower. You could use a 54xx/64xx motherboard, but it has power issues and needs a voltage regulater installed (Not all that complicated). Those motherboards go fairly cheaply on eBay so it's a worthwhile upgrade. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
