Love how they went through all of the effort to open the case and take photos just to not include a photo of the CPU card :p
I wonder how much of it was specific to that 9500 itself or if that was the test bed just because it was the highest-end Apple-made machine at the time. I also wish it showed a clear photo of the 9500's ROM SIMM slot to see if it still had the Apple ROM or a custom one.
Commercial CPU upgrades were broadly compatible across the main PCI Power Mac line (even the clones) as seen in the compatibility list for the Sonnet G4/500 I had in my 7300 back in The Day, so who knows? https://web.archive.org/web/20020605082714/http://www.sonnet...
Or are they the white whales of the PowerPC lineage?
