To get full advantage of the Radeon under OS X you'd need to enable Quartz Extreme using PCI Extreme! 3.1 available at MacUpdate. You can ignore the warnings if you're using Tiger 10.4.11, it works fine. It was only under the "bad" OS X updates of 10.3.7 and 10.4.3-10.4.5 that it didn't work. It's fine under 10.4.11.
I also have some 256Mb sticks and a G4 Sonnet ZIF upgrade in storage, although I don`t have the Sonnet CD with the software....
There isn't any special software necessary to enable a G4 CPU upgrade. The special software enables the L2 cache. You don't necessarily need to use the same brand of L2 enabler that as the brand of your CPU upgrade. For example, if you have a Sonnet CPU add-in card, you can use the PowerLogix CPU Director software instead of the SonnetCache software. In later versions of OS X some of these don't work so well, while others are fine. I use SonnetCache 1.4 for all my OS X 10.4.11 upgrades, and I'm using this with CPUs made by Sonnet, Newertech, XLR8, and m...@box. In OS 9.x I like PowerLogix CPU Director for all brands of CPU upgrades.
The better choices of L2 enablers are: SonnetCache PowerLogix CPU Directer XLR8 MachSpeed Control -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
