Quadra 700 Performance

Quadra 700 Speed Performance Charts MS Excel 4 Spreadsheet with plenty of graphs. Stuffit archive : quadra-700-clock-chart.sit binhexed : quadra-700-clock-chart.hqx SAM virus clinic: no viruses. The following Excel 4.0 document shows the performance curves generated from 25 to 36 MHz based on benchmarks run on a Quadra 700 with the Variable Speed Overdrive, and having placed pin sockets for the 50 MHz crystal. This is sort of a follow up to Guy Kuo's reports on replacing the crystal for a higher frequency one. I hope you find it useful if you're trying to select an appropriate speed or, if you just wonder what kind of beast lies inside that box. All of this came up after exchanging some e-mail with Guy and finding on both of our machines a zone of no-tolerance (with VSO around 33 MHz). In my particular case I found an optimum range of speeds with no performance degradation. Please post where ever appropriate Guido Paccagnella guidop@dino.conicit.ve
