I don't think it matters whether one puches the CUDA before installing cards or RAM or after, as long as it's done sometime while the Mac is powered down. With a cleared chip, when the Mac boots, it checks the configuration & writes the new data to its non-volatile memory.

When I caused the hubbub by saying "after" it was because I was concentrating on what seemed to be the statement that a hardware change was made with a CUDA push and then another change was made without a CUDA push and there was "flakey" behavior.
And As I stated twice in the following days and will state a third time I should have more properly said "during" or when changing".
But I stand corrected on the termination issue. I have long thought that the CD ROM at ID=3 is terminated at the factory . This does not seem to be the case. When I have time I will go through my saved PCI list posts and find out where i got this idea. As it seemed like gospel that was often repeated.
And the rare occasions on which I did have by accident an ID beyond 3 the startup and operation did indeed give problems.
