	i have a powercenter 132, is it feasable that the 
	motherboard can only run a 200MHz CPU or is the
	card being set to half speed some how?

	under MacOS it says it is at 400 and when i run
	MacBench i get the numbers a little lower than
	what the box says ( like 25 points low ).

	under LinuxPPC my setiat home client takes almost
	24h to process a block while my P][ 400 takes
	only 10 hours....

	is this the client?
	am i really running half as fast?

	should i send this bugger back and just get
	a 200Mhz one because that is all my board can	
	do?

	thanks for the input all.
