<< Is it true that the Sonnet G3 500 Processor Upgrade is really a G3/466 ? I have found several disturbing articles claiming that this is true ! Does anybody know about this ? According to the articles, the G3 450 is really a G3 333 !! >> Sonnet explained that the /333 and /466 chips were qualified by the manufacturer under conditions of elevated temperature ... more extreme than that which would be encountered in a Mac. Sonnet also explained that were these same chips qualified under normal conditions, then these chips would have been appropriately marked /450 and /500. So, Sonnet apparently got a good "spot price" on formerly marked /333 and /466 chips, which then were of no particularly good use to the manufacturer as its contract has lapsed, and the vendor appropriately remarked them as /450 and /500 ... which is what these chips were in the first place. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
