Re: Thinking about upgrading B&W ZIF

[James S Jones]

As I understand it, part of Sonnet's solution for breaking the 500 MHz 
limit on the B&W is to slow the bus speed to 66 MHz. This results in a 
performance hit on everything but processor speed. For the price 
they're charging, I'm not sure the new upgrades are worth it.

I was looking at the Sonnet site and saw that they now offer an 800

a 1GHz G4 processor for the B&W.  Aside from the 200 MHz difference

there be  a noticeable difference in speed between the two or  will 
the 800
suffice?  There's about more than a $100 difference between the two so 
right
now the 800 is looking kinda fine.

Any comments on Sonnet processors?
