Well, whatever. I know that the the computer was slower before removing the resistor. And was less stable. I couldn't get it to have stable sound output using iTunes under OS X, and now I can.

So, you can do whatever. I am very happy with the level 2 cache being gone............

This may not be necessary: I emailed Sonnettech yesterday in the midst of this discussion 
to ask them about disabling the 512k Level 2 cache soldered on the Tsunami board and the 
requirement in the Sonnet manual for G3 & G4 processor upgrades that the 1 meg L2 
cache SIMM be removed if present on boards with a removable cache chip.

I have TWO Tsunami-based computers, a 9600/233 with a 300 MHz NewerTech G3 card in it (for which I have a 450 Mhz G3 Sonnet card coming this week) and my trusty Daystar Genesis MP 800+ with the Sonnet 800 MHz G4 card in it.

The Sonnettech response i received today was that Sonnet processor upgrade cards for 
PCI Macs are built to ignore soldered cache chips.
