Vote: Poll: How many PCI Cards do you have in your Power Mac? (http://www.macpolls.com/?poll_id=112&ref=forums.macrumors.com)

Quicksilver Dual 800

Radeon 7000 PCI for my second monitor.

That's it for now.

[pimentoLoaf]

My antique 6100/66 has NuBus.

[Knox]

Radeon 7000
Rage 128
Adaptec SCSI card (which is unused mind you)

Plus another Rage in the AGP slot - G4/350. No slots left now, not that i can think of anything i'd need them for.

[donshank]

one pci card....

just for some extra firewire ports

[groovebuster]

The QS in my Home-Office with most slots used has...

1. Leonardo SP ISDN-Card (Some agencies and print-houses still use that stuff...)

2. M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Soundcard

3. Adaptec SCSI-card

4. Firewire-card for additional Firewire Ports

The other Macs are not maxed out like that, but I'm too lazy to write about them in detail...

I've got:

(2) M-Audio Delta 1010 cards

(1) Ethernet card (so my other machine can be connected to the internet)

(1) Slot fan...I made some fan mods on my own and just need a little extra quiet boost to airflow. This shouldn't count as a PCI card per se, but it takes up space....

[mc68k]

9600/300

29160N U160 SCSI
Radeon Mac Edition
Adaptec FiW/USB2 Combo

probably would have more, but the xlr8 upgrade is not the SSE (transfered from my s900), so the bottom 3 slots are non-operational for now until I get another upgrade.

[wdlove]

Power Mac G4 with a Adaptec SCSI, for a 2 GB Jaz.

[barkmonster]

Beige G3

Digidesign Audiomedia III
Swann 2 port USB PCI card

[AssassinOfGates]

Dual 867 MDD has a old ixTV card in there that used to go in my old powermac 7500... i wanted to try it in OS 9 (didnt work :( ), and i never bothered to remove it.

[Dont Hurt Me]

1 pci asante ethernet to make up for my ethernet that got zapped on one of those rainy days while online and all of a sudden BOOM!

[Zaren]

My beige G3 w/ G4/400 ZIF upgrade has:

Radeon Mac card (the original, no numbers)
VST dual Firewire & USB card

[MacFan25]

Don't have a PowerMac.

[bousozoku]

The dual 800 has:

Adaptec SCSI card and
Adaptec USB 2.0 card

The G3/400 has:

Adaptec/Apple Ultra2SCSI card and
SIIG UltraATA 133/100 card

[Hemingray]

ATA/100 card, SCSI card, and a Radeon 7000 card. (And since my G4 is PCI graphics, I can count the graphics card. :p )

[Beej]

QAg 933 w/ Adaptec SCSI card. It had been laying around for ages until my Mac could finally sleep with it in a couple of months ago.

[mymemory]

Actually that is the question but not the original options.

The thing is that I have my powermac but the only PCI card I use is and audio media 3 that has a very good usb version called M-Box.

I forgot about the original video card that comes with the machinne, of course that wouln't count in my poll un less you add a new one for a secund monitor.

The point of the poll is to know how neccesary are the PCI slots in the Power Macs when fire wire is taking place for most of those peripherals (ex. M-Box).

I had a Miro Motion DC 30 PLus PCI card and now I'm looking for a Hollywood Brige or something like that to capture video.

So, in the semi pro consumer level there is not need for a Power Mac I assume.

I can actually do everything in my Pismo. May be that is one of the reasons why portable computers are gaining market, peripherals and faster processors that can do the labor of most PCI cards.

[mhodgso2]

I have a magma PCI expansion bay so I have a total of 9 slots. I have:
1. Radeon 7000
2. Motu 2408 interface card
3. Adaptec 29160
4. Keyspan Serial port card
5. Pinnacle DC30+
6. Adaptec 2906
7. Pinnacle DV300

Well, I use them all but I can't wait for the day when I can afford to get new stuff to use Firewire 800!

[daveg5]

voodoo 5500
sonnet ata 100
yamaha dsp factory
atto dual 160 scsi
generic firewire/usb card
emagic audiowerk2 card
radeon 7000 pci soon

the voodoo sonnet ata 100 and dspfactory will soon be moved from my biege g3 to my 8600 both running g4 upgrades and later to the first dual 970 available.
i need 6 pci slots and 1 agp to feel complete

[melchior]

mymemory> that is, I suppose why most people said they don't have a powermac.

i can't see myself paying the premium for a powermac. they lack value for money, and since i don't 'need' per se the performance, it's unjustifiable.

the ibook offers amazing value for money (especially if you're up for some warranty voiding modification) and to a lesser extent, the imac has good value

i would be satified if ibooks and imacs moved to to exchangable video cards. (already in many peecee laptops) while not "user serviceable" and unlikely apple would facilitate upgrades, it would allow the operation to go ahead.

[janey]

i dunno. like more than 50?
