Are you referring to the L2 slot G3? What do you mean by toggle-able? You mean you want to be able to switch between using the G3 and the original cache? Why? The G3 upgrade has a larger cache onboard than the original cache SIMM.

I meant is it toggle-able between the G3 and the 603 processors, not caches.

I guess I don't understand how ever in the world a situation would arise where you would prefer the 603 to the G3??

^^ Ditto. Why would you want to?
And the answer AFAIK is no - the only "toggle" available is to pull the upgrade, unless you get really fancy with some kind of dual socket/multi-pole switch kludge

Unless you put a $20 Sonnet 7200 G3 PCI upgrade card in it [😉] ]'> Does this actually work in a 6400? I've heard it mooted but never actually read a success story.

Ain't it amazing what using the search will reveal?
The Crescendo/7200 works in a 7500! DIMMs and all. It's all operative. Graphics appear to be accelerated too. all the RAM both on the motherboard and on the upgrade?? You wouldn't happen to have a 6500 you could try that out on would you?
All RAM is recognized.
I have both a 6400 and a 6500 I can test it on.
Unfortunately the thread peters out about there - looks like Mike never completed that test - hint hint Mike.
But given the card works in at least one other off-label machine, I'd say why not?
