cpu : 740/750 clock : 195MHz revision : 2.2 (pvr 0008 0202) bogomips : 599.65 machine : Power Macintosh motherboard : AAPL,7500 MacRISC detected as : 16 (PowerMac 7500) pmac flags : 00000000 L2 cache : 256K unified memory : 640MB l2cr override : 0xbd080000 pmac-generation : OldWorld Strangely, it only says my clock in 195Mhz when its supposed to be at 300MhZ. Oh well, another ppc problem I got to work out. William --- William Crowshaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Great Kevin! Thanks. The export line really did > the > trick.
