So, everyone says that the Kansas-based x600s are much better than their Tsunami-based brethren. A quick search has told me that:

-Kansas machines can support the coveted 604ev CPUs

-Kansas machines don't have L2 cache soldered on the motherboard

-Kansas machines don't have problems with G3 upgrades and speculative processing.

My question: I'm planning to put a G4 CPU upgrade in a 9600. Would there be any benefit from using a Kansas machine over a Tsunami machine? This seems to negate the 604ev and L2 cache issues. Are there any other issues I should be aware of? Also, if anyone can point me in the right direction re: this speculative processing issue, I'd like to find out more about that.

Thanks!
