A good place for 6500 info is <http://www.zone6400.com/>. To answer your questions, the display card is the on-board video display, which Apple chose to map as a PCI card to make driver development easy. The 'network slot' refers to something called the Comm Slot II and it is used to hold either a modem or Ethernet card. The 'v' in 603ev stands for Valiant and is simply a faster version and lower powered version of the 603e. -- -- Mr. PopMan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Does anybody want to play a game of pinball?"
