So far, from yours and other's feedbacks, it seems I should not have a problem with the 5-card combination that I will end up with (with the addition of the Radeon and a non-VST USB card.) Thanks, in particular, for the warning on the VST card. That is very helpful. One item I am not sure of is the Initio Miles (UW) card. But it seems it could remain in slot 1 alongside the Radeon 7000 in slot 2. The others I can keep in the lower slots. So.....potentially I have the following combination. Slot 1 - Initio Miles (if necessary). Slot 2 - Radeon Slot 3 - MachFire Firewire (where it currently resides.) Slot 4 - Tempo ATA-66 (moved out of slot 2) Slot 5 - A USB-only (not VST) card. The Ultimate Rez 8mb non-Apple card will migrate to a 7500. I guess I will start a thread on USB-only cards. As for a G4 upgrade, can't decide between the Sonnet or the remaining stock of XLR8 Carrier card, which is becoming scarce. Cheers, Alan -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
