Will this work in my 7600/132? If not why not & what should I be looking for? It is very tempting to buy a G4 upgrade from OWC for £500 shaktiman Quadra 840av, prettymuchmaxedout8xcd drive

Nope, that won't work at all. You need a daughtercard upgrade that looks similar to the one that shipped with your PowerMac. As for the ones at OWC, are you talking about the new Sonnet G4/800 or G4/1 Ghz ones?-------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5

If you want to upgrade to a G3 or G4 there are a few things to consider.First anything over 500 MHz is wasted. Carrier cards and Zifs are the way to go Carrier cards are down to about 50 USD A G3 233 can be had for about 10 USD Total cost 60 USD, you can swap in a newer ZIF later and sell the old one. Carrier cards allow for easy (simple as flipping switches) overclocking. --------
