I wouldn't buy any product from a vendor who describes it that way. I suspect they may be selling returned/failed merchandise.
Sonnet was guilty of overclocking some of their upgrades, which probably contributed to failures...however, the failures may have been failure at the overclocked speed rather than a true CPU failure. Try another seller, like OWC, or try eBay, where you can find about 20 ZIF possibilities at any given moment. on 12/25/2002 06:11 PM, Sean at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I have a G3 MT running at 300MHz.
