To my knowledge the 8500 that the original poster claimed to have does not have a Tsunami mobo. That would be like in the 9600 300 MHz sitting here at my feet. ----------
Actually, we're both mistaken regarding mobo versions. The 85/9500's were Nitro boards; the 86/9600 300's are Kansas systems.
I'm wondering if Nitro and TNT were Tsunami variations - anybody know...? Not terribly important, just curious.
