Sonnet is known for using conservative bus speeds on their G3 upgrades as most companies' 300 MHz boards are set at 50 MHz (6 x 50). Yours is apparently 46.67 x 6.5 = 303 MHz. One of my users has one of those in a PowerCenter.
Well, in theory at least, this gives greater compatibility, which is important for them as you can't actually alter it on the card like other vendors' cards.
Exactly. I had a PowerLogix G3 350/175/512k L2 which would not run reliably at a 50 MHz bus speed (the same machine ran another card at 57 MHz bus), so I used it at 46.7 MHz bus speed. However, the G3 chip itself was a whale of an overachiever and ran at 467 MHz reliably, so the lack of 50MHz bus speed was a non-issue as I needed to run at a 46.7 MHz bus anyway to get the G3 to 467 MHz.
