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.
