I got the parts installed

The CPU and board work PERFECTLY. and it looks like it boots from CDs now. I just booted the sucker from a TechTool Pro DVD, and that means it passes the test.

If anyone wants a worn-out G4 QuickSilver 2001 board that they want to play with, it's free + Shipping.

I am wondering why the old board would work fine if booted from PCI SATA, but not from an optical drive :?:
