Power Macintosh 7300/166
A low-budget version of model 7600, it lacked video input and was running at 166MHz. It had PCI expansion, but not all cards work with it. It has DIMM memory with interleaving - so putting 2 memory sticks may make it run faster. In fact, 166MHz model is a low-end model of 180MHz USA Power Mac 7300, made cheaper to sell in Europe.

My unit is also from recycling. Used as scanner shared
device in magazine editorial, it was running all day. As I got it, I had
to clean it inside because dust was everywhere blocking fan and stopping
floppy drive reading anything from floppies. Now it works well with
Macintosh System 8.
