Yes -- I said as much in my post. I do realize that the Rage Pro LT on your Wallstreet PowerBook is still unsupported. > I am pretty sure the original iMac isn't either, but I can't say this > for > sure. You are correct. The original iMac shipped with only 2 MB of video RAM. Again, Apple could write a driver to enable this card, but a 2 MB video card isn't going to help much no matter what. > The Rage Pro LT uses the same chipset as the Rage Pro, btw, which is the > only reason the Lombard can be tweaked to run, since it uses the same > Rage > LT, only it has 8MB compared to 4MB. I didn't realize the Lombard also had a Rage Pro LT. > Sorry if I reacted too harsh, but I am a little, shall we say, annoyed > about > Apple in this respect. We'll see what 10.2 brings. Again, Johannes, I sympathize with your frustration, but I think your expectations are somewhat inflated. Even if Apple kicks in support for your video card with a future upgrade to OS X, overall performance is still going to be painfully sluggish on a Wallstreet PowerBook. Like I said, you're trying to run today's operating system on a four-year old machine. - Darcy ----- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Boston MA _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
