Doesn't Sonnet have a utility called X-tune up that's supposed to 
enable the L3 cache ?
Maybe I'm wrong...
I'd love to have one of those cards, and would love to know how and if 
they actually work... With a 400 G3 there's not much point to going to 
a 450 G4 and the next jump is to the 700/800 mhz Sonnet cards. Even on 
ebay the 450 G4s still fetch a lot of money...
