Hi Merideth; I have been using the XLR* ZIF Carrier w/466 chip for about a year. It was a simple install, you have to remove the L2 Cache card. I called XLR8 and they gave me the jumper settings which they said worked with this 466 chip. The processor is running at 478 MHz and included cache is at 239.2 MHz. Bus speed is 59.8 MHz. There is no loss of bus MHz speed with this card.
PowerComputing PowerCenter Pro 210�OS 9.1, XLR8 G3 Carrier 466 card, 512 meg ram, 4 meg video ram, Sonnet Tango Firewire/USB PCI card.
