There are many similarities and a few diferences. The main diference is
the PCI "Bridge Chip issue" of the J700/S900. You can not use multi task
cards(Firewire + USB, etc.) or some of the high end SCSI cards in the
lower 4 PCI slots, only the upper two slots. On the other hand, the 9600
had issues requiring a special card for CPU upgrades that the J700/S900
did not require. The bus speeds of both should be the same, as should
the memory. Upgrade away, and be sure to load up on memory while at it.

I'm considering a processor upgrade for my wife's
computer and was wondering how similar the S900 is to
her 9600. Does someone know if they have the same
issues with various PCI slots and things? OWC has a
Sonnet 500 mHz G3 for about $170. This would modernize
her machine so she could get to Jaguar and get current
on software again. She's having some trouble with
browsers and online banking right now.
She also uses a 7300. Would I be better off putting
the card in that?
