My problem is fixed. One reader on the net sent me mail telling me
to look at the latest InCider for an article about problems that
Apple would fix. It mentioned the NEC chips you talk about, plus,
at the end it mentioned some unnamed chips with a little "A" in
the lower left hand corner. Armed with the article and my board, I
marched back to my dealer where they called Apple (Tech
support??). Apple didn't know anything about the little "A"
problem, just the NEC chips. However, my dealer decided to swap
boards with me so I could test my theory. I glad to report that
I'm now the proud owner of a 1.75 GS.

We hear a lot about bad dealers here so it seems only right to
sing out when there are superior dealers.
