Not sure it is worth what I paid for it, but it is a lot cheaper than a Sonnet Duet, and has twice (2MB/CPU) the L3 cache as my Dual G4/1.25GHz CPU card which had (1MB/ CPU). I'm happy with it.

Ross Sweet, thank you for the information. The Dual 1.25 card that I am running has 2 meg L3 Cache per cpu so I will count myself lucky there. I am going to watch the list and ebay for a dual 1.42 card and likely upgrade my cpu. I may also keep my eye out for a FW800 case and FW800 board and do the ol switcheroo on parts to build a newer FW800 model hehe. Have a great day and thank you so much again for the information. =) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Mine is running at 167 MHz system bus. Thank you in advance. Yes, it will. I have the same system as you. I just installed a Dual G4/1.42GHz CPU daughter card in place of my Dual G4/1.25GHz card. The bonus for me is the Dual G4/1.42GHz CPU has twice as much L3 cache per CPU than my Dual G4/1.25GHz (2MB/CPU vs 1MB/CPU). It runs great, and I'm happy. Be sure you get a COPPER heatsink with the CPU daughter card. The copper heatsink runs about 10 degrees Celsius cooler than either of the aluminum models. Your CPU temps, with the copper heatsink, will go up about 5-6 degrees Celsius as compared to your Dual G4/1.25GHz CPU card. They will go up another 6-10 degrees Celsius if you run with an aluminum heatsink. Running temp at idle will be 58-60 degrees Celsius. A better after market main system fan can help with this, but will run you between $18.00-$30.00 for a good one.

Have a great day and thank you so much again for the information. =) Don't forget that you will lose the ability to boot native OS 9 if you change the main logic board out for a FW800. It would be simpler, and cheaper to by a PCI FW800/USB2.0 card. You get all the benefits, with no downside. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
