That's not a real MKIII but a PPC with it's PPC processor removed....

We should point out this particular card is now a fully functional CS MKIII with no such worries

Oh, sure; I didn't mean it the way as this card isn't any good.

A PPC with PPC removed works like a charm as a MKIII, everything else like it's PCI bus; SCSI controller; RAM etc will work just fine.

Actually having a "former" PPC has a slight advantage. If one was to find a PPC cpu; get it reballed it would be a piece of cake converting it back to a PPC card. Converting a MKIII to use PPC will be a much larger problem; it has no power regulator etc etc...
