hi, again: i finishes the installation of the processor card pretty fast. i didn't note time, but i started after tina turner was on the grammy's and finished before andrea bocelli was on. not too bad for a fist time. the worst part were a couple of stuck screws that took quite a while to get out. the computer recognizes the new processor as 1.4 ghz w/ 2mb L3cache. now the problem is the dvd drive. i tried to upgrade to 10.5, the disk was found dirty and i tried to eject it, but could not. i tried pressing the eject lever. nothing happened. i took the cube out of the plastic housing and the top plate off and tried again, but nothing. any ideas? thanks g
