Hey Folks,
I posted a note to one of the mac sites with this question and I thought
I'd ask here as well. Is anyone using (or has tried to use) one of the
new Sonnet G4 CPU's in a 1st generation PCI mac (7300 to 9600) with any
degree of success ? I'm considering trying this in my 8500 ...
Well, I can't speak for sonnet nor for G4, but I recentley got a G3/533
ZIF for my 8600/200. It was a nightmare until I found out that this CPU
doesn't like interleaving. After de-interleaving the DIMM's I could run
the CPU with 50MHz Bus and 500 MHz CPU Speed. L2 is half of the CPU.
My two rp.
