What is the machine speed reported by the Apple System Profiler?
195MHz, PowerPC G3. This is hardly surprising, since Apple System Profiler for
OS9 is significantly older than the PowerPC750FX and probably can't interpret
it's "stuff" for lack of a better description.
I didn't know the "Limitations of ASP" and what it reports, Thanks
I am not sure what you are talking about when you say you have a 250 mhz core?
That's the CPU's core clock, as opposed to bus clock, cache clock, or RAM clock.
That's the information that I get from the Powerlogix Cache Control software,
which likewise doesn't recognize the CPU properly, so it could be in error.
I had forgotten about "Cache Control" and the differences between "Bus and Core"
reported speeds. I wasn't quite sure what this info meant.
what is the G3 clocking? what are your impressions of the processor?
The original PowerPC 740 clocks in at 200 - 266MHz,...
Understood, I've often re-referred to XLR8's MVP Settings chart for clocking info.
(I have 2 carrier cards) G3/366 (400) and a G4/450. I know this is only "a point of
reference" I think you misunderstood my question, I'll rephrase... "Is your 900/G3
clocking at 900Mhz?" I read a review here...< http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/cpureview.lasso>
then "select...Umax all types in the pulldown menu for "Chris Hamady's review of
this upgrade. I'm sure its been seen.
It's worth noting that processor "speed" isn't really measured...
"...users are far better off with this faster G3, than with a slower G4"...
My impression is that it's a solid upgrade...
I'm always excited when... . -Drew B
Thank's Drew a very "good read" I'm very curious about "pushing to 900Mhz", maybe
I'll just purchase and see what it brings. All of the points you mentioned in your post
I've heard from listers one time or another, but its always refreshing to hear someones
thoughts upon "discovery" and the subsequent experience with keeping these babys
going. I look forward to another year of good reading. Phillip
