The processor daughter card controls the bus speed. Some like PowerLogix let you change the bus speed, others like Sonnet don't (at least some don't). I don't have any experience with XLR8 though. A warning about overclocking though. You can set it up and it will work but under other conditions it may not. Temperature is one factor which can effect it. Overclocking it by say 10% will give you at most a 10% speed increase and possibly less. 10% isn't much of a speed increase and, in my opinion, isn't worth the risk of the system crashing. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
