Subject: Processor upgrade card.

I have a 7600 with a Sonnet Crescendo G3/400 processor upgrade
card in it. YDL doesn't seem to see the full capacity of the
card; the system info gizmo informs me that it is running a
195 MHz G3, which is exactly the same number that the Mac end
reports if I don't use the Sonnet Accelerator Extension on
boot-up.
Anyone have any expertise with this? Can I use the full
power of the fast processor. And yes, I know, YDL for old
macs is about taking slow machines and making them useful.
I still have my 233 MHz 604e card, but I'd rather use the
G3.
When I was running LinuxPPC, there was a huge speed boost
when I switched from the 604e to the G3. I speculate that
something in LinuxPPC 2000 picked up the fact that it was
a 400 MHz G3, and let it run all out. YDL doesn't seem to
be as fast as it could be - any input on this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Martin.
