I'd put a /300 mobo in there from a 6500 and have an UberBETTER system (nearly betterer original ) Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide "I'm just a normal computer geek who somehow landed a social life"

cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 16 May 2003 : 21:38:39 but a TAM is only a /250... that extra 50 MHz behind the bus makes all that difference! Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide "I'm just a normal computer geek who somehow landed a social life"
maclover5 LC Doctor/Hot Rodder Australia 5830 Posts	Posted - 16 May 2003 : 21:42:07 But the bus speed is exactly the same on both boards! Its just the CPU speed that's different. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 7 Number of Contraband (PPC) Liberated from the Dumpster: 1

cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 16 May 2003 : 21:52:57 yeah.... I would probably use the 7300 general purpose but use the TAM for music/movies and stuff like that.... :drool: subwoofer.. yeah I know about bus/proc speeds ML5... but I would like to have the /300 mobo just because Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide "I'm just a normal computer geek who somehow landed a social life"
maclover5 LC Doctor/Hot Rodder Australia 5830 Posts	Posted - 16 May 2003 : 21:54:55 Does the TAM even use the same draw type mobo design as the 6500? I've always wondered as to whether it does. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 7 Number of Contraband (PPC) Liberated from the Dumpster: 1
cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 17 May 2003 : 01:26:51 same draw? well anyway I've always been under the impression what the TAM used exactly the same motherboard.... if not that would put a wee bit of a damper on me huge plans to upgrade it with a motherboard I don't even have Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide "I'm just a normal computer geek who somehow landed a social life"

I thought it was the same, I've never heard that it was different. For what it's worth, it has the exact same specs, ROM versions etc. according to AppleSpec. If it's just that it's a different part number, that's probably just the difference in drawer face/riser like 6360/6400 have different part numbers but are really the same mobo. jt ™.
