Nice one robt. Apple is putting ZiVA Daughter cards on the mother board.................................. x22.deja.com Guy Cutting wrote: > Apple says that the 333 Lombard can't be upgraded to DVD because it > doesn't have the decoder on board.

Guy, Though it seems the card should have the DVD decoding onboard with the rage lt pro, it simply doesn't. I don't know if Apple removed it or ATI's website is wrong or describing another product than that which Apple used. However, I do know that Apple's DVD decoding on the 400 MHz model is done by a c-cube ZiVa daughtercard attached to the motherboard. This card is obviously not physically part of the ATI card, nor is it on the 333 MHz model. Hope this clears stuff up, Doug
