I have a Power Mac G4 with a third party processor upgrade card (Sonnet), 1.5 gb of ram and a 120 gb hardrive and even though the motion compatibility check program says i can install, when i proceed to do so i get a message saying i lack the hardware to install. Any ideas as to what can I do? I was told in another forum that the problem is that my processor is not being recognized by the Motion installer, making it impossible to be installed.
