I am going to suggest a few things here, the first being to go back and double check and reseat all of your connections, cables, PCI cards and Ram. Once that's done we can move on to the more likely culprits. First I'd back the card down to the rated speed of 450 using a slower bus speed. Second you didn't tell us what speed you are trying to run the backside cache at. Try running the cache at a lower speed. What version of the XLR8 software are you using? I have found that most often when you have problems like this after moving to a faster processor it is a problem with one of the sticks of ram not being able to run at the faster speeds needed by the new Zif. Have you tested your ram? Have you tried de-interleaving? One more thing.... is this a standard card or the MpE card? I have an 8500 that absolutely refuses to work with any kind of a Zif carrier card but works just fine with several brands/speeds of 'PCI' upgrades, go figure! -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
