I've been under the impression that most of the software we use require it as a minimum. Frankly, I've begun missing the characteristic "look" of the CC's original rez on that cute screen. So, is there anything specifically about the 575 board which actually demands this mod then? I'd like to "downgrade" one of mine. >I have no particular interest in fanning flames or my misinformation about >slots and specs of a 575 or any other Mac.

And I do it too. > Gee Bill, now I gotta go pull the mobo's from some 575's I've got, just to find out if any are of the chosen few. Thanks for sharing your discovery.
