>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/17/04 19:03 PM >>> I have a 333 Mhz Lombard and when I recently upgraded the CD-ROM drive to a DVD drive, I found that it actually played DVD movies. Cool! Subsequently, I noticed that in the Apple System Profiler, it states that there is a DVD card present.
My question is this: Is this DVD card a part of the motherboard? Or is it a separate component hidden in the bowels of my machine that could conceivably be transferred to another Lombard? Ted ---------------- reply -> Normally a 333 Lombard requires a DVD decoder card that is inserted into the PC Card slot in order for a DVD to play if you have a DVD drive. It might be that you have a 400 Lombard that has a 333 CPU replacing the orignal 400 CPU. The 400 had the decoder hardware on the motherboard. Have you checked the label on the bottom of the case to see which model you have? J -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
