Hey Folks, I posted a note to one of the mac sites with this question and I thought I'd ask here as well. Is anyone using (or has tried to use) one of the new Sonnet G4 CPU's in a 1st generation PCI mac (7300 to 9600) with any degree of success ? I'm considering trying this in my 8500 ...

Well, I can't speak for sonnet nor for G4, but I recentley got a G3/533 ZIF for my 8600/200. It was a nightmare until I found out that this CPU doesn't like interleaving. After de-interleaving the DIMM's I could run the CPU with 50MHz Bus and 500 MHz CPU Speed. L2 is half of the CPU. My two rp.

I have one on my desk (Sonnet G4/800) and a PowerTowerPro (equiv to 9500) waiting for it. I hope to try it this weekend if not sooner. I'll let you know. In relation to the other post, the requirement of de-interleave was indeed true for my Powerlogix G3/500, but I have not read anything about it with the Sonnet.
