The Sonnet QuadDoubler was a very clever hack with one significant drawback: It had to be specifically designed for a single computer. There was a 40/80 MHz model for the Centris 610, a 50/100 for the Quadra 610, and a different 50/100 for the Centris 650. Other ones for the Quadra 610, 660av, 700, and 900 have been discontinued. The clever thing is the way it doubled the normal clock speed and provided about 80-90% more horsepower. The sad thing is that Motorola never got the '040 to the point where they could revise the QuadDoubler for a 33 MHz Quadra 650 or 800 -- let alone the stunningly cool 840av. Before spending $200 on a computer upgrade, do enough research to make sure it will work in your computer. Worse yet, you could have bought one for $99.95 direct from Sonnet.... <http://www.sonnettech.com/product/pricelist.html#qdoubler> -- Dan Knight, president, Cobweb Publishing, Inc. <http://cobwebpublishing.com> <http://lowendmac.com> <http://digital-views.com> <http://digigraphica.com> <http://lowendpc.com> <http://reformed.net> I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.
