Hello everyone, I have the chance to buy a Performa 6360 and a Sonnet Crescendo L2 G3 card. The card isn't installed yet, and it is a 400Mhz G3. I was reading Sonnet's info on the card and it said that on this model and in some others, the actual speed of the G3 may be reduced. The owner of the card told me the same thing. Does anybody know if on the 6360 the speed is significantly reduced and/or if there are any problems/bugs when using this upgrade card with this Performa model? I'm from Brazil, and these older G3 upgrades don't come up too often, so if there aren't any known problems, I will probably get it. Thanks in advance, Bomfim |

When they say reduced, they never mean more than 50 mhz. A 350mhz G3 will absolutely blow away whatever is currently in that system.

Generally those types of accelerators are based on a fixed multiplier of the bus speed. For instance an 8X multiplier on a 50MHz bus would run the processor at 400MHz. The bus on PCI Macs was in the range of 40MHz to 50MHz. An 8X multiplier over that range of bus speeds would yield final processor speeds between 320MHz and 400MHz. Some further research on the machines this accelerator runs on and the bus speed of those machine might give you a closer idea about the speed you can expect. As Dan has noted any reduction should not be sever and your machine will be substantially faster with the accelerator than it is in its stock configuration. bill

Thanks for the help. I'll make an offer for that Performa then!
