Re: [PCI] Max CPU speed an OldWorldMac can support

[Billy Car]

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).

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?
