You CAN put those motherboards into that Mac, but it would no longer be a MacTV. It's motherboard has a TV tuner built onto it. I have a similar problem. I have a MacTV with 2 motherboards. The first works, but has no sound. The second has on-board memory issues. It "death chimes" whether the RAM slots are full or empty. Jeff -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
