b: Only the files installed by the MacOS. Most of the Umax/Daystar dual processor software from the original CD doesn't work in 8.6 and newer, but the MacOS drivers are ok. Installing the older extensions often freezes the computer. > By the way: benchmarks on the site which Chrisso mentioned seem to show > that using the secondary CPU is not really a gain of performance, is it? I removed the 2nd processor for everyday use, shortly before I got the G3 upgrade. Although the dual 233mhz combo could outperform the G3/450 in the AltivecFractal demo, it was even slower than a single 233mhz 604e in most other apps.
