> > From: Eric Dannewitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> But I know for a fact that the two 9500s that I have running OS X 10.3 and Sonnet G4 700 cards run faster and more stable with that resistor gone. I wish I had some sort of benchmark to show you. > > Wow. Now I'm intrigued, especially since I have promised the NewerTech upgrade to a fellow Mac-user and an awaiting delivery of another Sonnet card for my 9600. Specifically what resistor is this that wants to be removed and how did you find out about it? I'd hate to chew up a Daystar motherboard but I do have a spare 9500 Tsunami board that I picked up off eBay a few years ago. Is there an internet site that shows how to remove the cache-enabling resistor and indicates exactly what performance benefits will be achieved ? I don't recall seeing anything about surgery in the installation manuals from Sonnet, NewerTech, XLR8, and PowerLogix. M
