For reasons known only to modern psychiatry, I read the bit about the ROMs and thought, "He's on the wrong track." Then I saw the word "board" and "ATI Rage" and, glossing over the sentence, mistakenly thought you were talking about video cards (rather than the video _chip_ on the mobo). I apologize for missing that; just don't ask me to explain why this mental lapse occurred. <wrings hands> >is correct: > >> IIRC, a board with an ATI 3D Rage ll + DVD chip is a Rev 1 board >> Rage Pro is a Rev 2, and Rage Pro + DVD is Rev 3 Yes, this site mentions the video chips as well: http://www.maccetera.com/news/beigeg3.html "The Revision A board is most easily identified by the video chip, labeled RageII+, while the Revision B motherboard's chip was a RagePro." So I was right...there is a difference between the different mobos. I somehow always manage to be right...about all the wrong things. @_@ > I reconfirmed it in my beige troubleshooting search excursions.
