The machine:

B&W G3 (Rev B)

The upgrade:

PowerLogix G3 1.1GHz

The software:

Mac OS 9.2.2

CPU Director 1.5f6 (application)

CPU Director INIT 2.0b1 (extension)

The problem:

Metronome and Apple System Profiler report 650MHz as the CPU speed.

The gruesome details:

I'm using an older version of the CPU Director application because the newer one (v2.3b4) doesn't run in OS 9. I've set the speed to 1100MHz and the best I can get is 650MHz.

I'm not sure if it matters but my jumper settings are back to the original configuration for the CPU that was in my Mac before I upgraded (350MHz). (Do the jumpers affect the upgrade at all?)

I don't really understand all of the settings in CPU Director (the documentation is lacking) but this is what I have it set at:

"L2" tab settings

Cache status: On

Boot setting: Enable Cache (other options are 'Disable Cache' and 'Use Firmware Setting')

"PLL" tab settings

New setting: 1100MHz [11:1]

Restart setting: Set PLL on Restart (checked and set to 1100MHz [11:1])

"Options" tab settings

Speculative Access: On

Disable Speculative Access on Restart: (unchecked)

Dynamic Power Management status: On

Enable Dynamic Power Management on Restart: (checked)

For the longest time I just assumed Apple System Profiler was wrong but when Metronome returned the same results I got worried. I get the same results when I boot into OS X (although I think the system reports a speed of 500MHz, IIRC). If anybody has any ideas on how I can get the most out of my upgrade I would appreciate it. Thanks!
