Does the Sonnet QuadDoubler make a significant difference?
What do people use their Quadras for?
Is a Quadra 800 too slow for web access and email? I'm wondering can I
hook it up to my broadband ethernet router.

Yes it makes a tremendous difference.
I use my Quadra 900 (with QuadDoubler) for everything at my second
home. Chat, email, light web browsing, word processing, etc... it is
a busy bee indeed
A Quadra 800 is fine for email. Not too great for web browsing. Yes

Yes, I think most people would find it too slow for web, also
available/useable, and up-to-date browsers are not really available
IMO.
That was why I gave up my Q800, like 5 year ago. Most stable and

It is very very slow if you use a somewhat modern browser (Like IE 4 or
Netscape 4 or iCab).
However I still use mine for web browsing when I'm at my secondary

Er, not necessarily. Remember, the 4MB Centris 650 doesn't have ethernet,
or a full '040. So, there's a GOOD chance that the board Dan has is the
base Centris 650 board.

It is DEFINITELY a Centris 650 board. You dont need to double check, it will be a

Anyway, Im interested in this accelerator that will work in a Quadra 950. Does it
plug into the processor slot or the PDS slot?

There are a lot that will read the gestalt ID; Apple System Profiler is
probably the most reliable at translating that to a machine name but it doesn't

It shouldn't be benchmarking faster if it's a C650. It should be benchmarking

That's the C650 board with quaddoubler, benchmarking faster than the

Yes, the Centris 650 board with 50MHz 68040 you have seems to outperform
a Quadra 800. However, a Quadra 800 can be clock chipped to 44MHz, or 48MHz
if you dont need the serial ports. That processor speed combined with an
equivelant bus speed, however, may outperform a 50MHz 68040 on a

I noticed the Quaddoubler pictured on Sonnet's web site does not have a

the original 25mhz CPU things are okay again.
