The level 3 shows up in the About This Mac and it appears to be working
looking at CPU Director under 10.3.9. I will be hitting the swap list
soon for 10.4 and will let you know if there are any cache problems.
BTW, using the Aticellerator (sp? the follow up to Graphicellerator) I
have safely overclocked the 9600 by 15% so far with no problems.

I have a DA 533 with a QS 933 processor that I am getting ready to make
the jump to 10.4 on, currently running 10.3.9. While I do have a hacked
G5s Radeon 9600 so I can run Core image, I am concerned about the
possible performance hit without the L3 cache.

I don't know Len. haven't heard it so. I sort of think you might
have heard
since I got the idea from you. My guess is that you'll be fine,
especially if
you haven't had to use anything to enable the L3 so far. (Is that
right?) I've
only heard the problem with the dual 800. I think I know of three of
us now.
Anyway, I'm running that hacked 9600 with the dual 800, no L3 and the
image is
great. My standard in X-Plane, the flight sim developed on a Mac,
which will
suck up anything you can offer in terms of video and beg for more.
Before I had
the adapter for a second monitor on that 9600, I ran my second monitor
on a Rage
128 pci board so the core video didn't work, though Quartz extreme
did. As
soon as that pci board was history, the display took a quantum leap.
Stunning.
I think you'll be happy with it L3 or no. Please let me know if you
get the L3.
Or if not, whether any of the enablers work for you.
