Ahhhhahahaha, yeh right! LOL ;) I will just blow a stupid amount of money on a half chance and if it doesn't work I'll get rid of it somehow. > let us know, or go and take the risk on your own! It wouldn't be a total loss - I can just backup the old BIOS before I flash the Mac BIOS onto the card and if it all goes pear-shaped I can just flash it back to a PC card and use it/sell it for a PC. > PS. Are you posting daily, or is it just me.. :) I am investigating a lot of issues about my G3. Yes I do tend to post daily. > Is this card better than a Radeon, or is it much much cheaper - or are > you really really bored :) The PCI GeForce 2 MX 200 I just bought for the project was �58. The cheapest Radeon I can get is a Radeon 700 which sticks compared to the GeForce 2 MX. A Radeon Mac Edn PCI which is about the same quality as the GeForce 2 MX is very rare at all here not to mention cripplingly expensive, the only one i even know about went for �175.
