Nope sorry, you need a Mac branded PCI ATA controller, PC versions do not work. > Also have a SIIG SCSI card apparently it's a scsi-2, I used to use it > for an > external CDRW on my peecee.

I wasn't awhere of any SIIG SCSI cards, but I found some references to this card mentioned as SIIG 10 SCSI PRO PC/MAC Since the few resources I found say it's a PC/Mac card it looks like it should work OK, in a pre-OS X environment that is of course. Also according to SIIG's site only the first two revisions of the Fast SCSI Pro card are Mac (pre-OS X) compatible (see drivers section). BTW there seems to be a SIIG AP-40 SCSI PRO PC/MAC card aswell which is Ultra Wide SCSI. > What I'm gonna do tho is install OSX right away, as I had so much > trouble > doing that on the MT. And HEY no 8 GB limit, right? Correct. > Any other advice? I'm soooo excited!! For me it worked best when installing the fastest RAM (PC133) in the first few slots. Also I installed the bigger sized RAM in the first slots aswell. For you this would be 256MB-128MB-128MB-64MB. But it should work in any other config aswell of course.
