I made the same mistake! Howie I think it was on the Supermacs list was the one who said it worked on his machine. I knew better but had to try it anyway. Howie is I think running his machine at a lower bus speed then I would (45mhz perhaps on a G3 at 360mhz). This may explain his being able to get away with the 3:2 cache ratio. I was really surprised mine runs at 2:1 in OSX with spec processing on. In OS 9.x 5:2 is the best I can do with spec processing off. It is however really fast at those settings. Sorry this is too late to help but for next time....You can do an install of OSX over the top of your broken/screwed up OSX install and it will replace the defective files but will save your settings and files as much as possible. Most everything in your user file apps, docs ,mail, web browser settings etc are usually back to normal. later Will S -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
