You already answered my post. You have the "special" XLR8 card, hence the SSE moniker tacked onto the end of your processor card model. If you didn't have the SSE edition card, then you probably would be having problems. OSX is wonderful, I moved my Jaguar machine (upgraded Umax S900) to the closet to be a MP3/Mail/WebMail/FTP/WWW server and have been stuck using OS 9.2.1 on an 8600/250. I yell at the damn thing every day. I can't stand having to reboot the whole machine just because I'm forced to use IE for web browsing. It sucks! I'm serious when I say that my blood pressure has dropped substantionaly since I moved all my systems to OSX. To allieviate some of your fears, I see nothing in your setup that should give you problems. The USB/Firewire card should still work fine, as will the ATA card, the Radeon goes without saying. The TwinTurbo card will work, although it won't have accelleration. I have no idea about the OrangePC card though, I don't have one. -Rob -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
