Remember when OWC (or was it Sonnet?) was selling mislabeled fast PPC 750s (AKA, G3s)? The spec for industrial use is different than home use, and the vendor was claiming that its part, which might have been labeled 350 MHz was really appropriate for 400 MHz (the MHz might have been different, but the concept is the same). And that is correct ... a slower part which is rated for industrial use (it has a much greater thermal range) does indeed have a higher speed rating when used within a tighter thermal range, say, in a residential application. In the specific case, the manufacturer attempted to "save" its mismarked inventory by marking out the industrial information (MHz and temperature code) by rebranding with the higher speed rating. Not a good way to win customers. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
