According to documentation on the xlr8 CD, Speculative Processing is supported on 9600 boards manufactured after September, 1997 and newer systems. Mine was manufactured in November, 1997 and the xlr8 control panel doesn't even have a selection for it (I assume it's automatically enabled). On my 7500, which also has an xlr8 card and the same software, there is a selection for it. -+-+-+- RPM -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
