I'm sure more knowledgible people will give better information shortly, but when I installed a G3 on my old C600, and a G4 on my S900, I had to use software to maximize the speed of the cache. I had an old one on the C600 from PowerJolt, and on my S900 i use Cache Profiler, which I think came from Powerlogix. It is a free download.
