Yet another point I forgot to address (Paul managed to get a lot of content into his two sentences) :-)...


When adding upgrades, you will be less prone to the dead machine syndrone if you add them one at a time. I believe that the Open Firmware responsible for updating the machine's configuration is more reliable when it only needs to change settings for one piece of hardware at a time.

In practice, I've found that configurations that gave me a dead machine, worked fine if I went back to basic configuration and then added the upgrades one at a time, rebooting after each addition.
