Yep... there was a 167mhz Newer. They also made the aforementioned 183mhz processor (which I have in my 550c). Mine does not have the 24mb RAM added that replaces the internal modem module; I have never seen one with the extra RAM, in fact. The 183mhz Newer has an L2 cache (at 128mb, I think) but it requires a control panel to activiate it. Without it, the processor runs (according to Sonnet's Metronome utility) at 167mhz. So yes, I guess they are really the same processor; the 167mhz processor is just minus the L2. But there was also the 100mhz, 117mhz and the 133mhz processor upgrades for the 500-series... Craig W.
