Pablo, I have a B&W G3-450 zif in my Beige G3 DT. It runs at 466 with jumpers set for 450 & it's been fine for over a year. Did you reset the cuda switch & zap pram on startup after the change? I don't recall having to do anything else, basically plug & play, so I suppose you could have a bad zif. Best.... BobT -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
