TOPIC


    I have a Power Macintosh 7200/90 computer. I know my computer does not have a processor card like the Power Macintosh 7500/100 computer, but will there still be a way I can upgrade my computer in the future?

DISCUSSION



    7500 Upgrade (     no longer available )
    ------------
    At the time it was released, Apple announced that there would be an upgrade option available for the Power Macintosh 7200 series computers. This upgrade would be accomplished by installing a logic board upgrade. After the upgrade the Power Macintosh 7200 series computer would be the equivalent of the Power Macintosh 7500 series computers.

    7600 Upgrade
    ------------
    The 7200 to 7600 Logic Board Upgrade* (M3842LL/A) will allow customers with a Power Macintosh 7200 to upgrade their systems to a Power Macintosh 7600. The Power Macintosh 7600 has replaced the Power Macintosh 7500.

    *IMPORTANT NOTE:
    This logic board upgrade ships WITHOUT a Processor Upgrade Card. You will have to purchase one separately. This gives you the opportunity to decide how fast a processor you want to add to your system. At the time of this writing there are two Processor Upgrade Cards available from Apple. Both have PowerPC 604 processors running at 120MHz (M4731LL/A) and a 132MHz (M4875LL/A).

    Part numbers mentioned in this article are accurate as of this writing. Before ordering, verify that they are still correct as they are subject to change. Contact your Apple reseller for the latest information.
