I think I know the answer to this, but it's been a long time so I figured I'd ask in case I'm wrong.
Totally ignoring aftermarket CPU upgrades, and only referring to original CPU cards...
Are the processors in CPU Macs all interchangeable? Will the automatically work at their correct speed? I know on CPU upgrades way back in the day, you set jumpers to set the Mac's bus speed and CPU speed. Is all that fixed on the OEM CPUs? So if I pulled a 350 MHz CPU out of a 9600, would it work at 350 MHZ if I popped it in my 7300/200?
