It's P/N: 109-A07500-00 And is a pull from a Mirror Door Dual 1.25GHz G4 Would I still need to disable those pins? When it's up and working - I get the same resolution as with the stock card and everything seems normal. Only difference I noticed is when the apple comes on the screen while booting, seems it's bigger (lower resolution) than with the stock card. After it's up, seems fine. I'm running 10.4.11 OS X server. Charles
