After yo flash the ROM you will need to tape over pins 3& 11 (or cut
the traces) to make an 8x card run in a Sawtooth.
Actually, it appears to depend on the card and the vintage of the sawtooth.
All the AGP 8x 6200's that I can find on a quick google image search
appear to be universal AGP 3 cards, so can card should be able to run at
2x speeds.
As for the vintage comment, it appears that the tape trick is only
needed for ADC capable G4's due to Apple using the previously unused AGP
pins. See http://themacelite.wikidot.com/pins-3-and-11 for the full story.
But if someone wanted to tape them regardless, it doesn't appear to mess
with anything if they are taped in a pre-ADC Mac, so I guess it depends
on how 'lazy' a person is. :-)
