ok i think i may have found something here looking at LEM:

http://lowendmac.com/quadra/power-mac-upgrade-card.html

Details, Apple

requires "fat" System 7.1 to 8.1

requires Apple "Power Macintosh Card" control panel

CPU: 66 MHz PowerPC 601

CPU speed: runs at twice speed of '040 CPU

40 MHz in Centris 610

50 MHz in Centris 650, Quadra 610, 700, 900

66 MHz in Quadra 650, 800, 950

reports of successful 80 MHz performance in a Quadra 950 with its bus chipped to 80 MHz

ROM: Apple PowerPC ROMs

RAM: uses memory on computer motherboard

L2 cache: 1 MB

i am thinking maybe i installed the wrong control panel. I do remember there was 2 , one said something about a "PPC 601" the other did say "PowerMacintosh Card" guess i gotta play with it some more.

This also tells me that if I OC the q700 cpu I can get more speed outta the PPC card as well :)
