That won't be a problem in this case Jim. The IxMicro TT is standard equipment in the PowerTowerPro's and will work ok on the 8600 which is essentially the same mobo .
I'd be more inclined to look to software for the problems you're experiencing Chrys. The TT requires specific sortware to be fully functional, and I expect the same is true of the Logitech mouse. Oftentimes an OS upgrade renders software obsolete until updates are performed. Unfortunately IXMicro bit the green weenie so it'll be tough to get an update, but a visit to the Logitec website is worthwhile . Cheers...Michael >2.) As a guess, the PB uses 3.3 volts for parts, but your 8600 is a 5 volt >machine.
