I'm with you on this one. I was surprised though, 10.1.5 was VERY quick on my 8600/250. When they said that the last 8600/9600 were as fast as the earlier G3 machines, they weren't kidding! > > You can see the performance degrading in 9 as you open more > and more apps or even loaded web pages.

Or having IE beachball over some javascript and locking down the whole system so I can't do jack. > > One thing they don't explain in their site is how fast I > can run the carrier on my 8600, the fastest g4 they have > for the carrier is 450mhz, but Sonnet sells a card with > an 800mhz g4 processor ! At the time of the release of the XLR8 Carrier cards, G4 chips had a top multiplier of 10x, bus speeds were topped at 50MHz so 10 x 50 = 500MHz chips. The reason the Sonnet can do 800Mhz is because last year 16x multiplier chips were released. 50 x 16 = 800MHz. >From the way that Daystar writes on thier site, it almost seems as though they have been doing some retooling with the cards. Maybe they can handle higher multipliers. I know my Carrier is limited to 10x but it can crank the bus speed up to 66MHz, so I theoretically could get a 660MHz chip. Can anyone confirm if Daystar is actually remaking the XLR8 cards, or are they just selling through a lot of true XLR8 stock? -Rob > > Will a G4 at 800mhz work in the carrier ?
