>the 8600 kansas architecture runs at 48-50 mhz 50 MHz, on all Kansas machines.
It is the pre-Kansas machines which have a bus speeds which can be as low as 45 MHz (example: 46.6 MHz for a 233 MHz CPU). >this is slower than the first >beige G3's which were 66 mhz. but from my understanding the 8600 is faster >than those beige G3's (dont know why). Perhaps the large cache (1 MB on all), located on the processor card, perhaps running at the processor's speed, not at a sub-bultiple of same. Not sure on this last point, but it would certainly explain why an 8600/300 out-performes a Beige G3/300. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
