Notes/Details
Power Mac G3
Beige
768 MB 66 MHz or 83 MHz* *Jumper setting in 6 MHz steps. 10 to 15% performance gain. Steps in between not recommended. PCI bus would operate out of specifications.
PCI x FSB
33.3 MHz 2.0 x 66.6 MHz = O.k., that's standard.
33.3 MHz 2.5 x 83.3 MHz = Requires proper RAM to even attempt (PC-100, CAS 2, 10ns. minimum); but it's doable and reasonably stable. See http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/~t-imai/g3ae1.html
