You are talking out of your nether regions yet again, BenjiOak.
First off, the 520 is a difficult machine to overclock. If you had
bothered to read Marc's overclocking site you'd know this.
Second, there are no adapters for IIci cache cards to go in anything but a
II series, unless JAG has seen something in his years at Goodwill that no
one else has ever heard of.
Third, there are no NuBus slots in any Mac all-in-one.
Fourth, adding an upgrade board is almost NEVER a worthwhile expenditure.
As I've said about a hundred times in the past week and a half, the upgrade
cards for the various LC-slot Macs are universally more expensive than a
motherboard swap would be.
