Not sure if I fully understand the bridge-chip issue even after having read numerous threads on this. I have the Sonnet Tempo ATA/66 card. (Acard) in slot 2. In slot 1 is an UW card, which I do believe needs to be in the upper slot, but I don't have any technical proof to back this up. I have used the Tempo in the lower slots with no problems but it ended up in slot two because it is available. Slot 3 has the firewire (MachFire) and slot 4 the new SIIG USB-2.0 card I just installed. Maybe someone can clarify if the Tempo has the bridge chip. If the 7000 makes it less of a headache upgrading to X, then I'm all for it. That is the main reason I'm interested in it. Currently I have the original non-apple 4mb Twin Turbo and 8mb Ultimate Rez cards. The UltRez card is in a 7500 after several mysterious bootup hangups that was happening randomly once in a blue moon. As things stand now, the current setup has been rock solid. Treading cautiously...because I everything that I need to do is working fine under 9.1 and there is nothing lacking. Alan -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
