Yes ... I believe the onboard L2 cache of an 8500 needs to be removed if you have a cpu upgrade card such as a Sonnet one ... you;re lucky you can just pop it out like a memory stick ...

in a 9500, you have to remove a resistor from the motherboard ...

While the 8500 box was open, I popped the orig. L2 cache back into it's slot, closed box up, and it 'acted crazy' - no screen, then just icon, but nothing else. Went back in, pulled it out again > so L2 chip can't be used with Sonnet pr.car
