Dear people, I received a G3 upgrade card for a PowerMac 9500 as a gift from one of the subscribers of this list (hi, Tormod!).
I replaced the dual 180/MP G04e daughter card with this new G3 upgrade and the last time that I booted with MacOS 8.1, it reported the card being having a G3 450MHz. I have eliminated MacOS from my system and went Debian only, but one curious thing I saw with kernels from the 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 series is that they report the frequency of the processor as 195MHz. The bogomips count presented in /proc/cpuinfo indicates 796.67, which would lead me to believe that there is something slightly wierd with this setup. Here is the complete /proc/cpuinfo on this machine: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - processor : 0 cpu : 740/750 clock : 195MHz revision : 131.0 (pvr 0008 8300) bogomips : 796.67 machine : Power Macintosh motherboard : AAPL,9500 MacRISC detected as : 16 (PowerMac 9500/9600) pmac flags : 00000000 L2 cache : 512K unified memory : 64MB pmac-generation : OldWorld - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I also learned that I should enable the L2 cache of this card to get better performance. Is this indeed necessary? I am open to any questions regarding my setup. Thanks in advance for any help, Rog�rio Brito. -- Learn to quote e-mails decently at: http://pub.tsn.dk/how-to-quote.php http://learn.to/quote http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/toppost.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
