Considering the trouble you've had, I don't think I'd bother with the 450 MHz G3. It isn't likely to give you much of a performance increase. If you do decide to give it a try, read the instructions for how to install in on the XLR8 site and be sure to reset the CUDA afterward.

As a rule, you should always reset the CUDA (on any machine that has one) after any significant modification to your hardware, including: adding or removing RAM, PCI cards, internal modems and serial ports, internal FW modules, and when changing processors.

Thanks for the suggestions. I had tried to do that, and things seemed to get worse. When I reopened the case this time, I saw I had forgotten to replace the jumper on the motherboard. That would tend to cause a problem. I reseated the video card again and took out half the RAM. I reset the CUDA and closed everything up. It then started up fine in 9.2.2. I reset the startup to Jaguar, and that worked, too. I put the rest of the RAM back in, and everything seems golden now. :-) Yippee!

So now I'm wondering if I should try the 450 (also G3) again. (Will I never learn?) With a non-Apple ZIF will I always need to have the special XLR8 system software? That could be kind of a pain.
