So it [snip] Your about to do exactly what I did and with exactly the same board! It *does* work succesfully and an Intel chip is perfect for the job. I got an Intel Overdrive, single chip and did a stright swap - switched on and was in business. The bigest problem is getting the old processor out from under the drives! Best of luck, hope it goes OK. -- |---------------------------------------------------------------| | George Wood EMail george@highrise.demon.co.uk | | My thoughts may be disconnected but at least they are my own. | |---------------------------------------------------------------|
