its not a power supply problem  thats for sure.. both myth boxes are the 
same except for one has a pvr350 and the other a 150.  i ll check the 
bios settings today but i am not sure thats it either.
if i pull the 150 the system does see the 5500.  both loaded with same 
mythdora software too.  this is a real gotcha .. must be something 
simple i am missing..  i ll check the ir q settings but my guess is 
thats not tweekable..  thanks brian i ll try a few more ideas
