I recall one processor upgrade for a 1990-era Mac that slotted into the L2 cache slot, back when L2 cache was on the motherboard and used a similar DIMM format.

It was extremely unusual, but apparently worked.
- bcohen5055 13y agoI had one of those... it was installed on a IICI, I think it was manufactured by sonnet tech and it was marketed as a PPC upgrade card for the motorolla 68040 Here is a list of all of the sonnect upgrade cards and how they connected http://www.everymac.com/upgrade_cards/sonnettech/ http://www.everymac.com/upgrade_cards/sonnettech/ Edit: Added link
- astrodust 13y agoYeah, that was the one. I had a hard time tracking down the proper link, but it's on the page you linked: http://www.everymac.com/upgrade_cards/sonnettech/crescendo_g3_l2/crescendo_g3_l2_500.html http://www.everymac.com/upgrade_cards/sonnettech/crescendo_g... It's clever and insane at the same time. Most processor upgrades physically replace the processor, but this one just bypassed it.
