67		What kind of performance can I expect from a using a Sonnet Tempo SATA Card in a PCI slot (like in a Power Mac G4)?	Oct-12-09
	Our testing has shown that a four-drive array will sustain maximum reads and writes of about 200 MB/second in a 64bit, 33MHz PCI slot. An eight-drive array will not provide any additional performance beyond that of a four-drive array in that slot. To get significantly more performance, you need to use a machine with a PCI-X slot.

452		I upgraded my Tempo SATA software in a PowerMac G4 or G5 and the card is giving a lot of system errors.	Oct-12-09
	This does not happen often, but sometimes the driver caches do not get purged and the new SATA driver does not get loaded correctly from ROM. Try this: 1) Delete and empty trash for the following file and two directories: /System/Library/Extensions.mkext (a file) /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches (a directory) /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.romextensions (a directory) 2) Restart
