![]() ![]() The whole question of better needs to be boxed in a little as well. Tha being said, I think a stock 840AV would be a better machine than a 950, but the addition of a 601 card, a good SCSI card and some A/V cards (such as a PAS16 and VVS) would tip the table in favor of 950 over an 840AV with comparable upgrades (but I would question why add the A/V cards to a machine that already has them). Just the sheer strength of the mobos original design.Ģ) For any two machines that have been pushed to the extent of their design limit by the addition of daughter cards, sound cards, CPU upgrades, and even clock chipping or bus speed tweaking and these mods must exist in the realm of reality (no theoretical hacks like me saying that I *could* put a G3 upgrade card in a 950 *if* I remapped the pin connectors to accept a Crssendo upgrade card). This question should really be addressed with two parallel assumptions:ġ) Both machines (or an machine for that matter) is in stock condition with the singular exception of maxed-out RAM, but no 'cards' or CPU upgrades. There are so many upgrade options, like adding a 601 card to the 950 or the NuBus cards for improved sound/video/SCSI/etc. The SCSI question is moot when you consider that either machine could be equalized by adding a NuBus SCSI card, thus putting the bottle neck at the bus speed of the NuBus. ![]() It also included one Geoport, and sold for $3,550 U.S., which was inexpensive for what was, at the time, the fastest Mac ever.Ĭreated by Mactracker, Copyright 2001 - 2005 Ian Page However, it's 3210 DSP ran at a faster 66 MHz. Based on the 0 processor, and housed in a Quadra 800-style case, the 840AV included AV features similar to its younger sibling, the 660AV. History: The Quadra 840AV was the first 68040 Mac to break the 33 MHz barrier. Original Mac OS: Mac OS 7.1 (System Enabler 088 v1.0) Weight and Dimensions (Metric): 11.5 kg., 35.6 cm H x 19.6 cm W x 40 cm D the only other 68K I know that takes that much is the SE/30, but that's only a 68030 16MHz.
