Lots of people have done much benchmarking and determined overclocking the bus speed in any Mac does almost nothing. Sonnet has said in the past that the bus speed of a G3 is not as important as earlier processors because it has such a fast and large cache. Im not saying dont overclock your bus speed. In fact, Id recommend it. Early beiges can make it to 83MHz. Im just saying that I dont think bus speed affects the performance of a computer in any great way. To put this matter to rest, I will benchmark my beige at identical CPU speeds of 333MHz, but with a 66MHz bus vs an 83MHz bus. Furthermore, I will test my Sawtooth since it has settings for 70MHz to 133MHz. Chris P -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
