Should be fine as the 8500/8600 and 9500/9600 are just about
functionally identical aside from the second PCI bus on the 9500/9600
and 4 extra memory slots. I would recommend keeping the same PCI card
arrangement and place them only in the top 3 PCI slots until you are
sure everything is working, then you can rearrange or expand into the
lower 3 PCI slots.

Hello,
I have a question. I use PCs at work, and I dabble in Macs as a
hobby. I have an 8600 mini tower with a paltry amount of PCI slots (3
-all occupied). I've turned this machine into a video production
server, but need more PCI slots. I am looking at a 9500 or 9600
machine which have more PCI slots (a G5 right now is cost
prohibitive). If I purchase one of these 95 or 9600s, can I move all
my current RAM (502MB), HDs, CD/DVD burners, and PCI cards, and the
G4/750 Sonnet Crescendo accelerator in the 8600 to the 95 or 9600?
Thanks
Canyac
