Quadra 700 Performance

Quadra 700 Speed Performance Charts vers. 2.0 DockMaker Document. Stuffit archive : quadra-700-clock-chart.sit binhexed : quadra-700-clock-charts-2.hqx SAM virus clinic: no viruses. The following DockMaker 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. Netters complained on the file format, so I re-worked the Excel doc, rearranging the spreadsheet data, and normalizing it to improve the quality and readability of the charts. (Now you know the percentage of improvement right from the chart). And made it a stand-alone document. Please let me know if you like the Excel doc better, so I will post it. Please post where ever appropriate Guido Paccagnella guidop@dino.conicit.ve
