BeOS for Power Mac

I have a Power Mac 7500, which you say is not compatible with the BeOS for Power Mac, but I upgraded it with a 604 processor upgrade card. Can I use the BeOS on it?

We haven't tested all of the different 604-based processor cards ourselves, but we have heard many reports from users that most or all cards do indeed work.

You should note that because there are many different processor upgrade cards, and many different systems they can be installed in, we can't promise it will work for your specific configuration.

What would happen if I installed the BeOS on a 601-based system?

Is the BeOS compatible with my processor upgrade card?
