Alan, Jeff and David,
thanks for the info on getting new/used parts and confirmations on swapping a slower processor for a 604e/250. Jeff's pointers on a PPC 9600 --> s900 slow swap (i.e. waste of time) were most interesting. Learned some new stuff. But.... I wrote: >> The processor pulled from my s900 is a 604e/250mhz. Can it be used >> sucessfully in a Macintosh PPC? i.e a 7500 or 7600? Then Jeff wrote: > Yes.

Jeff thanks for the good news but what is a "Power Surge" machine? Another term for a PPC? Just curious. Thanks again listers. Neil. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
