There is in fact an 800MHz G4 that Sonnet manufactured (I have one in my 7300), and PowerLogix manufactured a 1GHz G3 card which I had nothing but trouble with. These are probably double-pumping the bus or some other trick to deal with the multiplier limitation. That said, I have not been pleased with OS X's performance on beige Macs, even upgraded, even Gossamer G3s. I prefer to run OS 9 on those machines. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff. -- Frank Zappa ---- -- 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.
