I had a 9500 with 512 meg of interleaved 128meg sticks of ram and my Sonnet
G3 450 did not like it AT ALL!! I had to go back in and deinterleave the
ram and it ran like a champ (not a trivial task on that beast).

My personal advice, until someone puts up some benchmarks to show a
significant speed increase, is not to worry about interleaviving. If it
works for you, great. If it doesn't work on your system, just deinterleave
the ram and don't worry about the 5% speed boost on memory throughput you
get with interleaved.

If you are that desperate for speed ( as opposed to a tinkerer who wants to
do it because they can), get a Mac with a faster bus, even a beige with a
66mhz bus will be significantly faster than a 9500 with an equivalent
processor.
