I will second James' Caution as to OS X. If you have a PowerComputing Machine that you just want to play with .... by all means experiment with OS X. But if you've only the one machine or it's something you use regularly and depend on ... Don't!! Shudder!

Thank You for responding, I got to thinking that this list was dead, please indulge me
there have been cautions thrown out to me but no response to my questions? huh?
This so called "motherboard phenomenon" can you enlighten me? I've read some
threads in the PC archive, but I'm still concerned about making a MB purchase and
getting the wrong board. should I be concerned? I am putting a NewerTech G3/500 in it.
As I mentioned in my prior posts I have several other desktop machines that I use
for my work and such, I've acquired a PCPT Pro case with everything but a board, I'd like
to find one, build and dabble!!! I've email several of the vendors listed on "LEM" most
have responded favorably and some unfavorably (Price) One of those mentioned desktops
that I own was a Umax S900, the "parts" will go into this PCPT Pro.
I think I've been misunderstood or just left to "figure it all out" on my own, I'm not a
Newbie to computers just your PowerComputing machines, I want to learn more...
Thank's for reading, Phillip
