I'm new to this list having just aquired an old Quadra 610
Also can I get a PPC card for this Mac or is it not worth it? Anyone know how to overclock the 040 in there?
I'm pretty sure there is one, but do not believe it is worth it. When the PPCs first came out it was marginally worth it.
Now days, the PPC upgrades are considered "rare" and command a bit of a premium on the used market.
On the other hand, you can probably buy a PowerMac 6100 (or variant, e.g. 6116) for less than the PPC upgrade. I know that one of the guys on the swap list (I think he's still on the swap list) has a couple of new (old but still in the box) 6100s for sale.
The 6100 uses the same case as the 610 and has a PPC601 running at 66 MHz. There may have been an upgrade that ran at 100 MHz but the memory bus limitations would have made it not much faster than a 6100 for most applications.
