I think any of the tray loading have interchangable parts, so you should be able to take a 333 processor daughter card and put it in your Bondi (and then do any over clocking you see fit to do). >- What other changes or upgrades should I consider?

My guess is, your real problem is, you don't have the hardware in the video card to decode the DVD, so it has to do it all in processor. I'm not sure any processor you could stick in a Bondi will be up to the task. My guess is, with the OS and application overhead, there just won't be enough horsepower left to decode the DVD stream smoothly in real time. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
