   I have the mandingo theme, which did not come with a category page (category.php) the system was using the archive.php for the category page, so I made a copy of the page and renamed it to category-x.php, the category cat3 now displays that page no problem so far...

   now i need to link a page to that template... cant get it to work

   i put the template name at the top of category-3.php and set my page to use template cat3, but it doesn't call that template, how can i get pagexyz to call category-3.php as its template?

   TIA

   You can't. Pages are using Page templates and not Category_Templates.

   yep, got that corrected, made a page template with
   query_posts('cat_id=3');
   $more = 0;
   and you need to turn on a setting in the theme options to force the side bar
