Hi Craig Thank you so much for reply and this information. I am very disappointed to hear that processor upgrades are no longer possible :-( I didn't get in early enough! I wonder if motorola thought that everybody would dump their g4s in favour of the intel machines. I would have thought the opposite perhaps - although g4s are now pretty long in the tooth. Still, upgrading all the other items should make a difference. -- Clare ******************************************* Clare O'Farrell http://www.michel-foucault.com *******************************************
