Sonnet PCI cards (i.e. Crescendo 7200) max out at 500 MHz. Faster cards supported by SonnetLibrary are not Sonnet cards but various PMC cards to be installed on a PCI carrier board.
The card I was offered via eBay was listed as a Sonnet card pulled from a Mac clone.
Other Sonnet PPC cards were also available.
If the listing was incorrect, at least it made me aware of the availability of 800 MHz card. I you now state that there were 1 GHz cards.
Actually, the few G4 level cpus still available range around 1.3 GHz (unless you include the 7448).
