1.Open the Processor Info Utility
•Open the folder in which you copied the Processor Info utility.
Note: If the CPU speed or cache size are reading incor- rectly, you may have a problem with your system. Consult Chapter 5 - Tech Support.
CPU operating clock speed is determined by the formula: BUS Ratio X BUS Speed = CPU speed in MHz.
The MACh Speed G3 cards are preset at factory as follows:
Model | Bus Speed | CPU Ratio | CPU Speed |
MACh Speed G3 266 | 41.00 MHz | 6.5:1 | 266.5 MHz |
MACh Speed G3 275 | 42.60 MHz | 6.5:1 | 276.9 MHz |
MACh Speed G3 300 | 40.00 MHz | 7.5:1 | 300.0 MHz |
MACh Speed G3 333 | 41.60 MHz | 7.5:1 | 334.5 MHz |
MACh Speed G3 366 | 46.00 MHz | 8.0:1 | 368.0 MHz |
MACh Speed G3 400 | 50.00 MHz | 8.0:1 | 400.0 MHz |

CPU Speed: | Checks the current operating speed of |
| the CPU. |
Bus Speed: | Provides the current speed of the bus |
| (connection) between the CPU and the |
| motherboard. |
CPU to Bus | Provides the current multiplier used |
Ratio: | to run the CPU at the current speed. |
Backside | Provides the current size of the |
Cache: | backside cache on the MACh Speed G3 |
| Upgrade Card. |
CPU Temp: | This provides the current temperature |
| for the CPU on the MACh Speed. the |
| optimum temperature range is from 0˚ C |
| to 85˚ C. |
