>From what I have read over the last few weeks, I think the 300MHz and above are "Mach V" processor cards and are not supported unless you specifically have a "Mach V" motherboard. Is this correct? Thanks.

Something like 50% speed advantage over a single processor running at the same speed -- but only if the application were specifically designed to exploit the MP architecture. There were about 30 of these (including the Finder, amazingly), almost all geared towards illustration and 3D design. The downside is that non-MP-aware apps would run 5 - 15% slower in a dual-processor configuration. It was a trade-off that made sense for a very few. I'd put my money on a 300MHz 604e over dual 250MHz 604e's any day. I do have the original list of MP-aware applications from the 11/98 site archive; I'll publish that along with a bunch of other stuff before the end of the year. -Kennedy -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
