Just a thought, did you depress the CUDA switch on the logic board for a few seconds after installing the card? This blanks the PRAM (more rigorously than a PRAM Zap) and allows the machine to detect and store any changes in hardware such as RAM or CPU card changes. Manuals for CPU upgrades for these machines always specify you do this so it should be a matter of routine when swapping CPU cards. -- -- Mark Benson SilValleyPirate - AIM silicon_valley_pirate_uk - Yahoo!
