It does seem hard to believe. But according to multiple sources the 6300 motherboard has a 40 MHz bus and a 2.5x multiplier to get 100 MHz. You couldn't get a final CPU speed of ~94 MHz with a 6300 motherboard.I very doubt that 25 years ago someone had the tools and skills to do a processor swap, especially doing such a complex task for such small a reward, on a very low end consumer computer.
So I think it’s a stock 6300 motherboard with a 603e processor at 100MHz (rounded up from the actual frequency for marketing purposes)
Given you have a 94MHz machine with a 603e, if the person was able to replace the CPU, they'd have replaced the clock to put it to 40MHz bus.It does seem hard to believe. But according to multiple sources the 6300 motherboard has a 40 MHz bus and a 2.5x multiplier to get 100 MHz. You couldn't get a final CPU speed of ~94 MHz with a 6300 motherboard.
Yes, but the speed is set by the board, not the part number. It could still be running at 94MHz.According to the part number, I that's a 100 MHz CPU. Some differences between IBM and Motorola numbering systems though.

I don't understand why their 5260/100 scores worse than your 6200/75. That doesn't make much sense. I'm lost.
Please please please believe me, the PCB date code is too new to be a 75MHz 6200. I don't understand why you won't believe me.That's enough to convince me that my mystery computer here is not a 6300-mobo swap, but a CPU-upgraded 6200 mobo.
Tattletech would do I guessEDIT: I see that 4.5.2 requires 8 or better, and I may have 7.5.x on there. I'll see.
That's because until recently I didn't have a spare PB 1400/117 CPU module to try it out with. I do now, but the bloke who sent it to me packaged it in a non-anti-static bag along with an 8MB RAM card & some screws where they would have rattled around static-damaging themselves in transit - how could anyone be that careless?<snip> @Snial and @3lectr1cPPC recently discussed a possible related mod for a PowerBook 1400/117, but I don't think ever tried it.
You have a 820-0685-B mobo, the 6200/75 is 820-0616-A
