Update: Picture of the Week 3

Its been well over a week since the last 'Picture of the Week' update. Did you actually expect me to keep it absolutely current? Ha.

Anyhoo, the picture for this week is of a PowerPC 604 chip. I took this after I had removed the large heatsink from its daughtercard because I wanted to see it. I afterwards put its heatsink back on and plopped it back in the PowerMac 8500 it came from.

Until the G3, or PowerPC 750, was released, this was the most powerful chip used in Macs. Well, somewhat speaking. There were several variants of the 604 chip actually. But I'm talking about the 604-line and not just the original '604'. For instance, the last 604 chip to be released was the 604ev, otherwise known as the Mach 5.

Hmm, that was nice. So if anyone sees and problems with this, do correct me on it...
