Part of that is the 66 Mhz bus, the new 100 Mhz bus will stop this along with the faster cache mmeory speeds. They call it bus strangulation, and all us Wintel fanatics over clock the things to get the bus faster. Currently you can push it to around 87 Mhz reliably with some boards. 100 Mhz boards are out now, but are flakey. In 2 months you will be able to puch them to 120 or so. Hey, Bill. Stick THIS in your 87Mhz bus! <gg> From MacInTouch today: MacConnection is now selling a Super Mac S900/G3 system for $1999 with a MAXPowr 275-MHz "G3" processor, six PCI slots, Fast SCSI 2 and an IX Micro Twin Turbo graphics card. Adam Schwartz writes: "Best thing about it is that on the G3 board there is a set of dip switches that allows you to over clock the thing. Push all the switches down and the card runs at 302Mhz with a 151Mhz Bus. Mine has been running at that speed for 3 days without any problem. It smokes! Mac Bench 4 gives it 942 CPU & 965 FPU. Just one note of caution. Make sure to turn the cache ratio down to the slowest before clocking the CPU and then bring up the ratio slowly." Keep an eye on the rise of the Mac screwdriver shops. An Apple a day keeps the .dll file away. Mark
