FLASHed 7000s are great cards.
When seeking a FW or USB card, it must be OCHI compatible.
One of the best, for 9.X and 10.X compatibility was a generic card
using a single ALi chip set.
This very same card is still being used to this very day, only on a
P35/ICH9 Hackintosh running 10.5.5 ("Vanilla").
The two-chip ALi cards sometimes work, sometimes don't ... IMO.
The 7000s, whether FLASHed, or not, allow for software DVD
playing ... requires a small update to DVD Player.
Incidentally, a 7000 is compatible with both the Beige's standard (33
MHz) PCI slot, and the later B&W's non-standard (66 MHz) double-
clocked video-only PCI slot.
FWIW, the FLASHed 7000s usually have SVGA only, which is certainly OK
for most users.
