I have a G3 upgraded 8500. The CPU runs at 375 MHz, where /proc/cpuinfo says 195 MHz, which I think no publicly released G3 ever ran at. In Mac OS, various utilities tell me 375 MHz, and performance under Linux is at or around that speed. Another indicator is the "Bogomips" value - which for the PowerPC CPUs is about 2 x the clock speed. My /proc/cpuinfo says it's 748, which is a little less the 2 x 375, so yours _SHOULD_ say 1600 or thereabouts ... cheers vinai -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
