I have a Sonnett g3/375 card with a 512 cache that runs at 125MHz (3:1) when the sonnett extention is loaded but when I use the XLR8 extention and control panel it automaticaly boots with the cache at 187.4MHz (2:1). After that it has 249.9MHz available and above that 374.8MHz is the only selection available that is italicizerd. I have never tried to go higher than the 187.4 as that is a good step over the sonnett rating and I don't feel that brave.
