Verify Installation of Sonnet Encore ST G4
I purchases a Sonnet Encore ST G4 1.2Ghz upgrade for my 450Mhz AGP G4 mac. The installation went fine, the machine is up and running, however, when I launced Apple System Profiler to verify the machine speed under Hardware Overview, it says 0Mhz. Is this right? I thought it was supposed to show the correct clock speed of the CPU, no? Does it not work with CPU upgrade cards? The machine seems to be running faster however I wanted someway of verifying it's actually running at 1.2Ghz. Anybody have ideas?

how'd you figure that out? i thought the Sonnet upgrade didn't need any software/firmware upgrade. the only problem is that the Sonnet website (http://www.sonnettech.com/) is down ... isn't that just MY LUCK

that's a similar add i read and lead my to get this upgrade because i wouldn't have to worry about any software upgrade, switches, or jumpers. like said earlier, my system seems to run faster but i just want to verify it's running at 1.2Ghz like advertised.
does anybody know why there website is down? i've been trying to hit it the last couple of days and no luck hopefully it's up this week so i can get the tech support contact info ...

Where did you buy the Sonnet? Call that company about the problem.
