Hello, Someone asked about the 50MHz limiting performance of an 800 Mhz processor upgrade. This depends on the kind of work your app does. If it works for a longer time on a set of data that fits in the on-chip L3 cache the system bus won't slow you down. But if you do fast video processing (simple filters) 50MHz is slow and will remain slow.
Myself I am much more interested in a dual processor upgrade for my old 7500 (at whatever speed) because I need to test my software with such systems. It looks like my early G4 will never be capable of such an upgrade. That's the third time Apple screwed me and my new MAC (DVD-RAM discontinued, digital flat panel discontinued, then changed MacOS 9 disabling the dual processor capability in the process). :-( Jan. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
