Whoa! Anybody there? - Version: 3.1, 11/24/2007 08:30PM PST

This is obviously a dated item but I've still got a Performa 6400 upgraded with a L2 Cache card running OS9.1 for the sake of nostalgia etc. Had a lot of weirdness with some hybrid foreign 400mhz hack for a long time then came upon Sonnet's rework. It only gets me to 350 mhz on my original 200mhz 6400 but it's been doing it flawlessly. And I don't have to reinstall RamDoubler every time I run TechTool anymore. This is a 5 star job. Thanks loads, Sonnet.

Superb! AT LAST - Version: 2.3.1, 6/22/2005 05:09AM PST

Well, my hat's off to Sonnet with v2.31.

They finally solved the Metronome and recognition issues with the 1.42Ghz Encore G4 card (running on an old AGP G4/400).

Beware that there's a new G4 Firmware patch with this release, but just follow the instructions and you'll be okay.

All finally works perfectly. Dog's bollocks. Brilliant. ;D

On the 8500/9500 motherboards Speculative Addressing had to be turned Off no matter what. But with VM off and this update, a stable 3% Processor increase with SA On. Seen on a PM9500 1GB G3-450/1M VM off, Motherboard Cache Disabled. 9.2.2 CPUU5

I like it.
