Hi, Christoph and Ben,

It just came to my mind (and this is most likely a stupid question,
but still)=E2=80=A6 Is there any possibility of these changes having an
(positive) effect on the long-standing problem of Power Mac machines
with AGP graphics cards (which have to be limited to PCI transfers,
otherwise they'll hang, due to coherence issues)? If so, I have a G4
machine where I'd gladly test them.

Thanks,

Rui
