TOPIC


    I realize that the Power Macintosh 5260/100, Power Macintosh 5400 and 6400, Macintosh Performa 6400 series, and Macintosh Performa 6360/160 computers accept an optional 256K L2 Cache Card. However, I'd like to know if they use the same card, and if not, if the two cards are compatible with each other.

DISCUSSION



    Although the Power Macintosh 5260/100, Power Macintosh 5400 and 6400, Macintosh Performa 6400 series, and Macintosh Performa 6360/160 computers accept an optional High-Performance Module (256K L2 cache card), the modules are not interchangeable. The Power Macintosh 5260/100 accepts a 160-pin L2 cache SIMM card whereas the Power Macintosh 5400 and 6400; Macintosh Performa 6400 series; and Macintosh Performa 6360/160 computers accept a 160-pin L2 cache DIMM card.

    For the Power Macintosh 5260/100, you need to use the High-Performance Module for Power Macintosh 5260, part number M4849LL/A.

    The Power Macintosh 5400 and 6400; Macintosh Performa 6400 series; and Macintosh Performa 6360/160 computers require the High-Performance Module for Power Macintosh 5400 and Performa 6400, part number M4505LL/A.
