I always read that the Valkyrie-type boards clock-doubled the cpu. I know it's more of a PR thing, but does anyone know for sure? The procs ARE only rated for 33, though. If they were clock-doubled wouldn't they need to be rated higher? > >Addressing Mode: 32-bit > >...or 24-bit. I thought '040s could only do 32-bit?

When did 7.5 come out? Apple-history says the 580 debuted in April of '95. I remember getting my Q630 in the 2nd half of '94, and it shipped with 7.1.2P. The guy at the store I bought it from made me a copy of the 7.5 install disks (all 20 or so of them) so I would figure 7.5 came out near the summer of '94. _________________________________________________________________ Choose an Internet access plan right for you -- try MSN! http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
