    I cant remember but are these PCI cards? I guess there wouldnt be much other ways to use them, but Macs dont normaly have PCI cards do they!

    No, they are processor "daughter boards" that plug into the Motherboard. And yes, they are in speeds ranging from 750MHz to 1GHz.

    All Macs have had PCI slots since about 1995. My G4 (Digital Audio) tower has 4 64-bit 33Mhz PCI slots, and 1 266Mhz (4x) AGP slot.

    The iMacs, eMac and the G4 Cube do not have PCI slots.

    "Besides, Apple are scumbags. They wrote viruses to destroy the ram that wasn't sold by them,"

    Odd, most people understand that they just began to actually enforce the memory specification required for the systems.

    Having moved non-spec memory to a couple of other machines with looser requirements, I didn't find any of the memory damaged, much less destroyed. It worked fine in the other systems.

    "they'll write more viruses to destroy these upgrades."

    Since they didn't do what you claimed in the first place, why should we be concerned about your latest prophecy, O Nostradamus?
