I'm using both a G4/450 on one PowerPC 8500, and a G3/500 on another ... both by Sonnet. Also used a PowerLogix G3/400/1MB which I have for sale if anyone is interested. Works great, and allows for playing around with different bus, cpu speeds. Both my machines are using OS X 10.2.8.

Couldn't get the Sonnet G4/800 to work on my machine ... probably due to one of a few "unforgiving" problems at the time: bad ATA drive (one going bad), a flaky memory module, and in my second machine, a PCI card that was not compatible with a G4 upgrade (M-Audio's 2496).

What is the maximum CPU speed that an OldWorldMac can support?
If the maximum bus to CPU multiple is 8x, then a 50 MHz system can
support up to 400 MHz, right?
That's mean that anything faster than 400 MHz is not supported, such
as G3/800, G4/500, etc.
Any comment on this?
