All, posting this from a 7600 I just obtained. Packed it full o RAM and a ATI rage card and she smokes. One interesting thing is, this computer's processor snaps in on a card (kinda looks like a PCI card). The processor card is actually from a big stack that the dealer had around and it shows up as a 200 MHz 604e, PowerMacintosh 8600 in system profiler (it came with OS 8.5). I haven't noticed any instability yet. Has anyone else come across this kind of thing ? Should I leave it in or go back to a slower card the guy sent with it (I think a 120 MHz card) ? |

I had a nondescript 200 Mhz Apple 604 CPU in a 7300 for 6 months or so. I did not run to any problems. I used it with os's 7.6.1, 8.6, 9.1. The 604e's, unlike ev'es (aka "g2"), seems to be switchable between 7000/8000/9000's.

They're generally OK. The processor that came with you system will be whatever the number is after the slash in the name. There is no such thing as a 7600/120 as far as I know. Also, the name of the system in system profiler is determined by a ROM simm card, which is removeable on that system I believe. So in conclusion, that sounds like quite a hodge-podge of parts you have there.
