Hey, this is a great info! I hope you don't mind if I post this to the MacLife forum, with a short translation to German. BTW, I think the RAM has not much to do with the ROM, once the card is active, the RAM is automaticly detected by the OS. I might be wrong though. Hmmm, I get the feeling that we all should download the ROM update really fast! ;-) Thanks, Chrisso -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
