Well, I had one in an S900 a few years back, when they first hit the market. The only issue I had was with the PCI Voodoo, which seemed a bit worse with the upgrade.
This time around, I'm throwing a PM 9500 logic board into the S900 case. I may also try out a PowerTower Pro logic board.
Keep in mind that it could just be the upgrade. IIRC, the cache chips sometimes go awry in these upgrades, in general. I hope you sent it back to Sonnet?
I'm a bit of a tinkerer, so for the curious amongst you, I may be willing to try a few things in the search for answers.
BTW, I don't know if this is allowed in this swap list, and if not, sorry, but I'm in need of a Tempo Trio to save a PCI slot. I have the Tempo, but I'd like to have USB, Firewire, and ATA on one card, as ooposed to having ATA on a seperate card. That would rock.
Unless of course, it's faster to have them seperate, then I'll settle for my current pieces.
The Trio must go in one of the top two PCI slots in the S900 because of a firmware bug (in the Apple ROM) with respect to PCI-PCI Bridges. So that may or may not save you PCI slots.
Any USB/Firewire card would also need a top slot. So, unless you have one of the top two slots available, your only option is separate USB, Firewire and ATA cards.
