Hello Everyone,

Forgive the long post ,but I had to make sure everyone who can use the 
info gets it.
Also,I sent this out before,but it seems o have vanished....Oooooh 
spooooky .

Last night,or was it this morning (I get very confused) I came upon a 
little doo-dad that has made my G3-233MHz desktop even faster .

It's called the G3 Cache Utility v1.0.1 by Power Logix.
It's at  

"This will work on most, but not all, PowerMac G3 233s, and a few of the 
PowerMac G3 266. It may also work on the PowerBook G3. Early indications 
are that it works on 300/150/1Mb PowerMac G3s, also.

(If all options are selected properly and it doesn't work on your 
machine, it is because the individual SRAMs in your computer are not 
capable of running at the accelerated speeds. Apple uses many different 
SRAM vendors and some can be accelerated, some cannot.)"

It accelerates the backside cache bus speed from the regular 50% of 
proccessor speed to @ 66%.
On a 233MHz it means an increase from 116.5MHz to @155MHz.

It's just a measely 28kb or so download and IT WORKS.It's noticable.

Look for stuff for your Mac at .Go to the Software 
page,then to the Enhancements page.

Cheers,
Drew
