    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.
